This level of Seddon's nerve injury is characterized by: •segmental demyelination, •Action potentials slowed or blocked, •No muscle atrophy, just temporary sensory problems, •Result of mild ischemia, •Recovery usually complete
What is neuropraxia?
200
Reduced light touch to the deltoid region indicates dysfunction at this nerve root level

Damage to this nerve will likely result in weak elbow flexion and supination
What is the musculocutaneous nerve?
200
This LE peripheral nerve can be damaged during labor from the weight of the uterus and may result in weak hip adductors

The focus should be on compensation, not recovery of function, during this phase of nerve injury rehab
What is the return to function phase or chronic phase?
300
Compression of the T1 nerve root will likely cause weakness of this joint motion
What is finger abduction?
300
This nerve can be damaged as it becomes entrapped within the cubital tunnel, or at the tunnel of Guyon
What is the ulnar nerve?
300
This is the largest nerve in the body
What is the sciatic nerve?

What is elbow extension and wrist flexion?
400
Damage to this nerve will result in carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms
What is the median nerve?
400
This nerve may become damaged as it passes around the fibular neck, causing weakness in both ankle DF and EVER

500
Decreased sensation at the medial malleolus due to nerve root compression would likely also cause weakness in what joint motion?
What is ankle dorsiflexion?
500
Damage to this nerve up near the glenohumeral joint will result in weak elbow extension
What is the radial nerve?
500
This nerve passes under the posterior medial malleolus before it enters the sole of the foot and splits into two separate nerves
What is the posterior tibial nerve?
500
This ULNT is assessing the irritability of what nerve?
What is the radial nerve?

This condition is marked by marked pain and hyperesthesia that does not correlate to the original level of injury, decreased motor function, and autonomic nervous system changes
What is CRPS? complex regional pain syndrome
