Peripheral Neuroanatomy for Neurologists: Intermediate Arm and Brachial Plexus (video 3/7)

Welcome to this educational video series on peripheral neuroanatomy for neurologists. 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 for neurologists.

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: rhomboids, deltoids, biceps, brachioradialis, triceps, wrist extensors (extensor carpi radialis and ulnaris), wrist flexors (flexor carpi radialis and ulnaris), pronator teres, extensor digitorum communis, extensor indicis proprius, finger flexors (flexor digitorum profundus), finger spread (interossei/abductor digiti minimi), abductor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis, lumbricals.
