saphenous nerve: medial calf
sural nerve: lateral foot
deep peroneal nerve: 1st web space
superficial peroneal nerve: dorsum of foot
plantar nerves: sole of foot
How to test the C5 spinal level?
Deltoid is all C5, biceps is C5/C6

How to test spinal level L5?
How to test the S1 spinal level?
The motor exam of the upper extremity :which spinal level and which peripheral nerve does each movement?
The motor exam of the lower extremity: which spinal level and which peripheral nerve does each movement?
