Session 24UE MUSCLE INNERVATIONS

Know the peripheral nerve innervations of the shoulder and arm muscles.

Apply knowledge of the brachial plexus to analyze case studies.

OBJECTIVES

BRACHIAL PLEXUS

In your small lecture team:Start with a drawing of the brachial plexus

Add at each terminal branch, the muscles innervated by that nerve

Analyze the following case studies:What muscles will be affected if C6 nerve root is damaged?

What part of the brachial plexus is likely affected if the triceps is affected, and the deltoid is not?

Have each member of your group come up with 1 case study (do not share case study with other groups!) Write down the answer.

ACTIVITY PART I

Join up with another groupHave each person present their case study

The other team must try to answer

If they get it right, they win a point

Take turns between groups

ACTIVITY PART II (ONLY IF THERE IS TIME)

Know the peripheral nerve innervations of the shoulder and arm muscles.

Apply knowledge of the brachial plexus to analyze case studies.
