Distribution of primary motor nerve branches and terminal nerve entry points to the forearm muscles

Distribution of terminal nerve entry points to the flexor and extensor groups of forearm muscles: an anatomical study.

The motor points of the skeletal muscles, mainly of interest to anatomists and physiologists, have recently attracted much attention from researchers in the field of functional electrical stimulation. The muscle motor point has been defined as the entry point of the motor nerve branch into the epimysium of the muscle belly. Anatomists have pointed out that many muscles in the limbs have multipl...

Anatomy of the radial nerve motor branches in the forearm.

Knowledge of radial nerve motor branch anatomy is important when performing surgery in its vicinity, neurorrhaphy, and nerve blocks and for understanding the rate and order of recovery of muscle function after injury. Twenty normal fresh cadaver arms were dissected to quantitate radial nerve motor branch anatomy in the forearm. Though variable in individual specimens, innervation order from pro...

distribution of sciatic nerve in hamstring muscles

regarding the importance of sciatic nerve distribution in replacement of anal sphincter and sciatic nerve block we decided to study this matter for the first time in iran. in this way 100 cadavers (88% male and 12% female) were dissected and studied by loop microscope. the results shows that primarily, according to the first branch derived from sciatic; there would be 4 main groups. if this sam...

trigeminal pain and its distribution in different trigeminal nerve branches

Nerve Conduction Studies of Median Motor Nerve and Median Sensory Branches According to the Severity of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

OBJECTIVE To evaluate each digital branch of the median sensory nerve and motor nerves to abductor pollicis brevis (APB) and 2nd lumbrical (2L) according to the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). METHODS A prospective study was performed in 67 hands of 41 patients with CTS consisting of mild, 23; moderate, 27; and severe cases, 17. Compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) were obtaine...
