The clinical presentation when the long thoracic nerve is injured
The term for when flexing/extending the wrist causes pain
What is Phalen's maneuver
What is prolonged distal latency and slowed conduction velocity
A disorder making peripheral nerves hypersensitive to pressure, causing recurring episodes of numbness, tingling, weakness, or paralysis
What is HNPP (Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsies)

The Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) contains sensory fibres located _______ of the spinal cord
What is outside

What is 4.4ms
A 1C degree decrease in temperature causes these changes to CV and latency
What is 1.5-2m/s slower CV and increase in latency by 0.2ms
The normal value for distal latency for ulnar sensory EDX studies

The long head of the biceps femoris muscle is innervated by this nerve
What is the Tibial nerve
The deltoids and teres minor are innervated by this nerve. Bonus points for naming the nerve roots.
What is the axillary nerve (from C5 to C6 roots)
The median nerve is formed by these nerve roots
What is C6 to T1

What is the gift on the fifth day of Christmas?
What is five golden rings
What is "Happy Birthday!"
The nerve that supplies the adductor digiti quinti
What is lateral plantar nerve
This neuropathy is due to entrapment between the distal part of the sensory nerve between the biceps tendon and brachialis muscle. There is weakness of elbow flexion, absent/diminished biceps reflex, sensory loss in the forearm. Lateral Antebrachial Cutaneous nerve is abnormal on EDX.
What is musculocutaneous neuropathy (also known as "carpet carrier's palsy")
This purely motor syndrome presents itself as: weakness in FPL, PQ, FDP 1/2, the inability to do the "OK" sign, commonly caused by brachial neuritis or compression injury
What is AIN (anterior interosseous neuropathy)
The fibres that are large, heavily myelined, very fast (80-120m/s), playing a crucial role in proprioception (body position sense) and reflex arcs like the stretch reflex, enabling rapid motor responses.
What are Type Ia afferents
The "sign" that is a result of weakness of the adductor pollicus causing weakness when doing the "pinch grip."
What is Froment's sign
The only peroneal-derived muscle ABOVE the level of the knee, also responsible for knee flexion.
What is the biceps femoris (short-head)
