A

Lateral arm and forearm to index, long, and ring fingers

18
Q

C7 myotome (muscle weakness)

A

Triceps, wrist flexors (rarely wrist extensors)

19
Q

C7 reflexes affected

A

A

Medial arm and forearm to long, ring, and little fingers

22

23
Q

C8 Parasthesias

A

Little finger alone or with tow adjacent fingers; not ring or long fingers, alone or together (C7)

24
Q

T1 dermatome

A

Medial side of forearm to base of little finger

25
Q

T1 myotome, reflex affected, and paresthesias

A

Disk lesions at upper 2 thoracic Levels do not appear to give rise to root weakness. Weakness of intrinsic muscles of the hand is due to other pathology (e.g. thoracic outlet pressure, neoplasm of lung, ulnar nerve lesion)
