71
Q

Red, green and purple

A

Red: radial nerve
Purple: Deep branch of radial nerve
Green: superficial branch of radial nerve

72
Q

Where is the deep branch of radial nerve?

A

Passes between the head of supinator muscle (because it tries going to posterior aspect of forearm)

73
Q

Where is the superior branch of radial nerve?

A

Courses the undersurface of the brachioradialis muscle, follows all the way down to the wrist, goes to subcutaneous tissue and branches to skin at dorsum of hand.

74
Q

What type of branches are the lateral muscles and from where do they receive fibers?

A

Motor branches, Radial nerve

75
Q

What type of branch does a nerve passing a joint give?

A

Sensory branch

76
Q

What is the deepest branch of the radial nerve called?

A

Posterior interosseous nerve

77
Q

What are the muscles in the superficial division of the Posterior interosseous nerve?

A

Radial nerve

85
Q
A

Checking brachioradialis by resisting the function

86
Q

The more distal the muscle what happens to the muscle mass and what type of resistance should you apply?

A

Less muscle mass and less resistance appleid

87
Q

What is fractured, what nerve is affected, syndrome and muscles that are affected and result?

A

Humeral fracture which means the damage of the radial nerve proximal to the elbow joint. Leads to drop hand syndrom where the carpels can’t be lifted indivisually. Only muscles that aren’t affected is the Tricep brachii muscle (recieves branches in Axilla).
Result: Disfunction of the entire muscle of upper extremity.

88
Q

What is happening to PIN, what muscles are affected and the syndrome?

A

Constricted axon in the nerve. Nerve is made up of nerve fibers and axons(flows toward distal side and is constricted). Extensor carpi ulnaris is affected (small weakness). Extensor digitorum, Extensor digiti minimi and Extensor indicis are completely affected. Posterior Interosseous Nerve Syndrome

89
Q

What happens to the tendon each time you supinate and syndrome?

A

Tendon will compress on PIN creating entrapment causing the Supinator syndrome

89
Q

What happens to the tendon each time you supinate and syndrome?

A

Tendon will compress on PIN creating entrapment causing the Supinator syndrome

90
Q

Red

A

Superior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm(from axillary nerve)- comes from posterior fasciculus

91
Q

Purple

A

Posterior cutaneous nerve of arm (from radial nerve)- close to armpit

92
Q

Yellow

A

Inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm (from radial nerve)- comes from posterior fasciculus

93
Q

Green

A

Posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm(from radial nerve)

94
Q

What does the posterior fasciculus give off and what is it responsible for?

A

It gives off the radial nerve (main branch) and is responsible for the entire inervation of the posterior shoulder, forearm, arm and dorsum of hand.

95
Q

What does each spinal nerve have?

A

Representation in upper extremity

A

C2

101
Q

What happens if you damage the radial nerve at the midshaft?

A

Entire posterior side of forearm and hand will be numb

102
Q

Where does the radial nerve start in forearm?

A

Arrives at the anterior aspect of the elbow joint and goes to the deep branch.

103
Q
A

Superficial branch of radial nerve

104
Q

Where is the Superficial branch of radial nerve located?

A

Under brachioradialis–> provides branches to posterior aspect of the hand (dorsal aspect of thumb, index and middle finger, lateral portion of ring finger)–> Near wrist pierces to deep fascia (superficial)
