  2. Brachial plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachial_plexus

    The brachial plexus is a network of nerves (nerve plexus) formed by the anterior rami of the lower four cervical nerves and first thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1).This plexus extends from the spinal cord, through the cervicoaxillary canal in the neck, over the first rib, and into the armpit, it supplies afferent and efferent nerve fibers to the chest, shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand.

  3. Thoracic vertebrae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_vertebrae

    The vertebral foramen is the large opening posterior to the vertebral body also known as the spinal canal. It contains and protects the spinal cord at the thoracic level. The spinous process is long, triangular on coronal section, directed obliquely downward, arising from the lamina and ending in a tuberculated extremity. These processes ...

    No other research has been made for validity and reliability. Previous studies with CTR have examined the relationship between segmental mobility C7-T5 and neck- shoulder pain. A significant correlation was found between decreased mobility in motion segment C7-T1 and T1-T2 and increased risk for neck- shoulder pain.

  5. Thoracic spinal nerve 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_spinal_nerve_1

    The thoracic spinal nerve 1 (T1) is a spinal nerve of the thoracic segment. [1] It originates from the spinal column from below the thoracic vertebra 1 (T1).

  6. Spinal cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord

    The spinal cord is an estimated 45 centimetres (18 inches) long in males and about 43 cm (17 in) in females. [citation needed] It is ovoid-shaped and is enlarged in the cervical and lumbar regions. The cervical enlargement, stretching from the C4 to T1 vertebrae, is where sensory input comes from and motor output goes to the arms and trunk.

  7. Cervical spinal nerve 8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spinal_nerve_8

    The cervical spinal nerve 8 (C8) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. [ 1 ] It originates from the spinal column from below the cervical vertebra 7 (C7).

  8. Cervical spinal nerve 7 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spinal_nerve_7

    The cervical spinal nerve 7 (C7) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. [1] It originates from the spinal column from above the cervical vertebra 7 (C7). It runs through the interspace between the C6 and C7 vertebrae.

  9. Median nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_nerve

    The median nerve is a nerve in humans and other animals in the upper limb. It is one of the five main nerves originating from the brachial plexus.. The median nerve originates from the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus, [1] and has contributions from ventral roots of C6-C7 (lateral cord) and C8 and T1 (medial cord).
