A pinched nerve is exactly what it sounds like. A nerve is being pressured by surrounding tissue and thus, loses some circulation. This pressure can be caused by the surrounding muscles, cartilage, or ...

These nerves originate proximally soon after the nerve roots exit the spinal column, and they are important for proper upper extremity, shoulder, and diaphragm function (Fig 3A-B). Kathleen ...

Nerve root stimulation was performed at the C7-Th1 or the L4-L5 ... Patient H had hyperactive reflexes of the upper limbs. Patellar tendon reflexes were hyperactive in patient A, reduced in patient H, ...

sensory symptoms dominated by profound proprioceptive loss affecting upper limbs more than lower limbs. All sensory modalities are affected—in contrast motor function is preserved. Nerve conduction ...

or spinal cord injury (in which damage to a specific spinal nerve root will cause weakness to specific muscles). Depending on the condition involved, muscle strength grading can be performed on the ...

These common injuries with potentially devastating results provide ongoing stimulus for researchers striving for improved understanding of peripheral nerve biology and its application to nerve repair.

The aim of this paper was to present structured rehabilitation protocols in two different patient groups with upper extremity nerve injuries using sEMG biofeedback. The principles of sEMG biofeedback ...

2 Evidence has identified vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with intensive rehabilitation as an effective intervention for improving upper extremity (UE) function in persons with chronic stroke.3 ...
