Pronator teres syndrome (also known as pronator syndrome) is compression of the median nerve between the two heads of the pronator teres muscle. [13] The Pronator teres test is an indication of the syndrome—the patient reports pain when attempting to pronate the forearm against resistance while extending the elbow simultaneously. The ...
Pronator teres syndrome. Pronator teres syndrome is a compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the elbow. It is rare compared to compression at the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome) or isolated injury of the anterior interosseous branch of the median nerve (anterior interosseous syndrome).
Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] The triangular interval (also known as the lateral triangular space, [ 1 ]lower triangular space, [ 2 ] and triceps hiatus) is a space found in the axilla. It is one of the three intermuscular spaces found in the axillary space. The other two spaces are: quadrangular space and triangular space.
Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example). Its symptoms include pain, tingling ...
Teres major muscle (in red) seen from back (posterior to anterior perspective). The teres major muscle is a muscle of the upper limb. It attaches to the scapula and the humerus and is one of the seven scapulohumeral muscles. It is a thick but somewhat flattened muscle. The teres major muscle (from Latin teres, meaning "rounded") is positioned ...
Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] The musculocutaneous nerve is a mixed branch of the lateral cord of the brachial plexus derived from cervical spinal nerves C5-C7. It arises opposite the lower border of the pectoralis major. It provides motor innervation to the muscles of the anterior compartment of the arm: the ...
The latissimus dorsi (/ ləˈtɪsɪməs ˈdɔːrsaɪ /) is a large, flat muscle on the back that stretches to the sides, behind the arm, and is partly covered by the trapezius on the back near the midline. The word latissimus dorsi (plural: latissimi dorsi) comes from Latin and means "broadest [muscle] of the back", from "latissimus" (Latin ...
The lower subscapular nerve contains axons from the ventral rami of the C5 and C6 cervical spinal nerves. [2][3] It is the third branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus. [4][5] It gives branches to 2 muscles: subscapularis muscle. [2] It usually gives 4 branches to innervate the subscapularis, and can give up to 8 branches.
