Peripheral Neuroanatomy: Foundational Arm and Brachial Plexus (video 1/7)

Welcome to this educational video series on peripheral neuroanatomy. Dr. Deborah Setter is a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota who developed these videos. The Foundational videos focus on the core muscles and nerves assessed in a standard neurological examination. The Intermediate videos expand on this information and are especially helpful for interpreting electromyography (EMG) reports. The Advanced videos provide a comprehensive level of information of peripheral neuroanatomy. In these videos, we first draw a diagram of the neuroanatomy so you have a roadmap to visualize the pathways. Next, we write out a table together to organize the information. Last, we demonstrate the neuroanatomy in the context of a neurological examination and offer suggestions on how to skillfully perform the exam. Demonstrated in this video: deltoid, biceps, triceps, wrist extensors (extensor carpi radialis and ulnaris), finger extensors, finger spread (interossei/abductor digiti minimi), finger flexors (flexor digitorum profundus), thumb abduction (abductor pollicis brevis). 00:00 Intro 01:05 Draw neuroanatomy diagram 04:00 Write out a table 07:50 Reflexes & Strength Scoring Scales 12:29 Strength exam demo 19:03 Strength exam pearls 20:20 Stroke-focused exam demo 21:22 Tone demo 22:22 Reflexes demo From Mayo Clinic to your inbox, sign-up for free: https://mayocl.in/3e71zfi Visit Mayo Clinic: https://mayocl.in/2COVmlm Like Mayo Clinic on Facebook:   / mayoclinic   Follow Mayo Clinic on Instagram:   / mayoclinic   Follow Mayo Clinic on Twitter:   / mayoclinic
