A 25-year-old soldier suffers a gunshot wound on the lower part of his back and is unable to move his legs. A neurologic examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan reveal injury of the cauda equina. No other dysfunction is noted. Damage to the following structure could explain the inability to move his legs: ventral primary rami at spinal cord level T2. O True False

Watch this short video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/facialnerve) to see an examination of the facial nerve usingsome simple tests. The facial nerve controls the musclesof facial expression. Severe deficits will be obvious inwatching someone use those muscles for normal control.One side of the face might not move like the other side. Butdirected tests, especially for contraction against resistance,require a formal testing of the muscles. The muscles of theupper and lower face need to be tested. The strength testin this video involves the patient squeezing her eyes shutand the examiner trying to pry her eyes open. Why does theexaminer ask her to try a second time?

Part A Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which the median nerve is compressed as it travels through a narrow passage in the wrist. Explain how hand dynamometry might be used to assess a patient's need for surgery to release carpal tunnel compression. O Hand dynamometry measures electrical activity of the median nerve, which will be reduced if the median nerve is compressed. O Hand dynamometry measures grip strength, which will be reduced if the median nerve is compressed. O Hand dynamometry measures grip strength, which will be increased if the median nerve is compressed. O Hand dynamometry measures electrical activity of the median nerve, which will be increased if the median nerve is compressed. Submit Request Answer Provide Feedback < Return to Assignment
