Axillary nerve palsy is a neurological condition in which the axillary (also called circumflex) nerve has been damaged by shoulder dislocation. It can cause weak deltoid and sensory loss below the shoulder . [ 1 ]
An example of injury to the axillary nerve includes axillary nerve palsy. Injury to the nerve results in: Paralysis of the teres minor muscle and deltoid muscle, resulting in loss of abduction of arm (from 15-90 degrees), weak flexion, extension, and rotation of shoulder. Paralysis of deltoid and teres minor muscles results in flat shoulder ...
Injury in this nerve causes paralysis (as always) to the muscles innervated by it, most importantly deltoid muscle. This muscle is the main abductor of the shoulder joint from 18 to 90 degrees (from 0 to 18 by supraspinatus). Injury can result in a reduction in shoulder abduction. [4]
The axillary nerve is a branch of the brachial plexus that innervates the deltoid and teres minor muscles. This nerve can be injured or damaged in a variety of ways - penetrating injury such as knife or gunshot wounds, surgical trauma, stretch injury (common after motor cycle accidents), and various metabolic or rheumatic conditions that may ...
Scientists have identified a group of nerve cells that helps patients with paralysis stand up and walk again. These nerve cells, or neurons, called Vsx2, are present in the brain stem and the ...
Erb's palsy is a paralysis of the arm caused by injury to the upper group of the arm's main nerves, specifically the severing of the upper trunk C5–C6 nerves. These form part of the brachial plexus , comprising the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5–C8 and thoracic nerve T1.
This syndrome can begin with severe shoulder or arm pain followed by weakness and numbness. [5] Those with Parsonage–Turner experience acute, sudden-onset pain radiating from the shoulder to the upper arm. Affected muscles become weak and atrophied, and in advanced cases, paralyzed. Occasionally, there will be no pain and just paralysis, and ...
My tote bag falls off my shoulder. All of my school supplies are dirty and wet. I smash the back of my head on the ground and throw my container of food 10-15 feet into the air as I fall.
