A brachial plexus injury occurs when the network of nerves that runs from the neck through the shoulder and down the arm (called the brachial plexus) becomes stretched, compressed, or torn. These nerves control movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. Depending on how severe the injury is, symptoms can range from mild weakness or numbness to complete loss of function in the arm. Standing next to a wall, place your palm on it with your fingers pointing down and your arm straight. Ge

Brachial Plexus Anatomy This video explains the anatomy of the brachial plexus, the complex network of nerves that supplies the upper limb. 💡 Explore its roots, trunks, divisions, cords, and branches, and see how this structure enables motor and sensory function in the shoulder, arm, and hand. 🎥 Part of the Exploring Anatomy Programme on Physiopedia Plus. 👉 Explore Physiopedia Plus: https://members.physio-pedia.com/why-physioplus/ #BrachialPlexus #Neuroanatomy #UpperLimbAnatomy #PhysiopediaPl

THE BRACHIAL PLEXUS ⠀ [NEUROANATOMY] ⠀ The brachial plexus is a network of nerve fibres that supplies the skin and musculature of the upper limb. It begins in the root of the neck, passes through the axilla and runs through the entire upper extremity. ⠀ As you know from my previous posts about Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, compression of the medial, lateral and posterior cords of the brachial plexus can occur between the anterior and middle scalenes, the first rib and clavicle and below the pectoral
