Question 88 of 180

A 74 year old man presents with a three month history of worsening left shoulder and arm pain. On examination there is weakness of shoulder abduction and reduced sensation over the deltoid. You suspect cervical radiculopathy. What level of the cervical spine is most likely to be affected:

Answer:

The C5 nerve root is most likely affected.

Upper Limb

Table: Myotomes of the Upper Limb

Myotome Most Strongly Associated Movement
C5 Elbow flexion (also shoulder abduction and external rotation)
C6 Wrist extension
C7 Elbow extension (also wrist flexion)
C8 Finger flexion (also thumb extension)
T1 Finger abduction

Lower Limb

Table: Myotomes of the Lower Limb

Myotome Most Strongly Associated Movement
L2 Hip flexion
L3 Knee extension
L4 Ankle dorsiflexion
L5 Great toe extension
S1 Ankle plantarflexion
S2 Knee flexion

Reflexes

Table: Reflexes of the Upper and Lower Limb

Reflex Root Muscle
Biceps C5 – C6 Biceps brachii
Supinator C6 – C7 Brachioradialis
Triceps C7 – C8 Triceps brachii
Knee L3 – L4 Quadriceps
Ankle S1 Gastrocnemius
