  34. Name the bones.
    Image Upload 26

  37. What nerves are affected? What is this called?
    Image Upload 28
    Erb-Duchenne palsy or waiter's tip position...

    mostly C5-C6
  38. What's the most commons causes of Erb's palsy?
    forceful pulling away of head from shoulder, dystocia, fall on shoulder
  39. What parts lose sensation in Erb's palsy? Which muscles are most often paralyzed?
    • Lateral side of arm
    • Parlysis: supraspinatus, infraspinatus
  40. Which nerves are primarily affected in Klumpke's palsy?
    C8-T1 (lower brachial plexus)

    * as opposed to Erb-Duchenne, which is upper brachial plexus
  41. Differentiate avulsion, rupture, neuroma, and neuropraxia.
    • Avulsion, the most severe type, = the nerve is torn from the spine
    • Rupture, =the nerve is torn but not at the spinal attachment
    • Neuroma= the nerve has torn and healed but scar tissue puts pressure on the injured nerve and prevents it from conducting signals to the muscles;
    • Neuropraxia or stretch, in which the nerve has been damaged but not torn.
  42. If you can't abduct/adduct the fingers, which nerve is affected?
    Ulnar.
  43. Which nerve is affected?

    Image Upload 30
    • Ulnar.
    • This is clawhand.
  44. Which muscles does the Axillary nerve supply?
    Deltoid and teres minor.
