which nerves provide sensory innervation to the image? [2]
what happens when u get damage to common peroneal nerve? [1]
why? [2]
what happens when u get damage to common peroneal nerve? [1]
foot drop
why? [2]
provides innervation to anterior and lateral compartment of leg - only innervation is to the posterior - unnaposed plantar flexion
damage to sciatic nerve is characterised by? [3]
oFoot drop
oWasting of hamstrings, calf muscles and dorsiflexors
oLoss of Achilles reflex
a postive trendelenburg test is likely to occur from damage to which nerve?
superior gluteal nerve
inferior gluteal nerve
femoral nerve
common peroneal nerve
superficial peroneal nerve
a postive trendelenburg test is likely to occur from damage to which nerve?
superior gluteal nerve
inferior gluteal nerve
femoral nerve
common peroneal nerve
superficial peroneal nerve
anterior leg compartment:
innervation?
movement? [2]
blood supply?
anterior leg compartment:
innervation: deep peroneal nerve
movement: dorsiflexion, extension of digits
blood supply: anterior tibial artery
what are the curvatures of the spine? [2] medical names?
when do each develop? [2]
which vertebrae cause which of these curvatures? [2]
what are the curvatures of the spine? [2]
primary curvatures - posterior curvature = kyphosis
secondary curvatures - anterior curvature =lordosis
when do each develop? [2]
Primary curves are retained from the original fetal curvature, while secondary curvatures develop after birth.
which vertebrae cause which of these curvatures? [2]
- *thoracic: primary
sacral: primary
cervical: secondary
sacral: secondary**
