00 Neuro Cheat Sheet

This document provides information about muscle roots and nerves for the upper and lower extremities. For the upper extremity, it lists muscle groups, the muscles within each group, the nerve roots that innervate each group, and examples of nerves. It also provides a rhyme to help remember the nerve roots. For the lower extremity it similarly lists muscle groups, muscles, nerve roots and example nerves. It includes some clinical pearls about patterns of weakness that may suggest myopathies, neuropathies or upper motor neuron dysfunction. It also lists common reflexes and their associated nerve roots.

MUSCLE NERVE ROOTS


UPPER EXTREMITY
Muscle Group Muscles Nerve Roots Nerves
Shoulder Abductors Deltoid C5, C6 Axillary nerve
Shoulder Adductors Pectoralis Major C5, C6 Lateral pectoral nerve
Elbow Flexors Brachialis and biceps C5, C6 Musculocutaneus
Elbow Flexors of the Semi-pronated arm Brachoradialis C5, C6 Radial nerve
Elbow Extensors Triceps C6, C7, C8 Radial nerve
Wrist Extensors Flexor digitorum superficialis C7, C8 Radial and ulnar nerve (Remember Dr. Leslies
Flexor digitorum profundus story)
Flexor Carpi Radialis
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
Palmaris Longus
Flexor Pollicis Longus
Wrist Flexors Extensor digitorum C7, C8 Radial and ulnar nerve (Remember Dr. Leslies
Extensor carpi radialis longus story)
Extensor carpi radialis brevis
Extensor carpi ulnaris
Extensor indicis
Extensor digiti minimi
Extensor pollicis longus
Extensor pollicis brevis
Finger Abductors Dorsal interossei C8, T1
Finger Adductors Palmar Interossei C8, T1
Finger Extensors Similar to wrist extensors C7, C8, T1
Finger Flexors Similar to wrist flexors C7, C8, T1

How did you memorize in case you forgot:


Sing the rhythmic upper ex song:
C5! C6 (Abduct shoulder), C5! C6 (Adduct shoulder), C5!, C6 (Flex elbow). C5, C6 (semipronate elbow)! C6, C7!, C8 (Extend elbow), C7, C8 (extend wrist), C7 C8(extend wrist), C8, T1! (abduct fingers),
C8 T1 (adduct fingers)!, C7, C8, T1 (flex and extend fingers)

Clinical pearls
Proximal weakness suggestive of myopathy
Distal weakness suggestive of peripheral neuropathy
Pyramidal weaknesss UMN dysfunction. Think like a pyramid basta finger extension, elbow extension and shoulder abduction with preservation of the elbow flexion and grip.
-also characterized by upper limb extensor < flexor, reverse in lower limb

If UMN hypereflexic since no inhibition


If LMN hyporeflexic
