The brachial plexus is a network of nerves near your neck that connect your spinal cord to your arms. These nerves help your shoulder, arm, hand, and fingers move.

The brachial plexus refers to a network of nerves that start out in the neck and move through the upper limbs. This covers the shoulders, arms, elbows, forearms, wrist as well as the hand. All ...

Nerves of the brachial plexus originate from a nerve root. Avulsion happens when the nerve root pulls out of the spinal cord as a result of blunt trauma. Most cases are due to motor vehicle accidents.

The plexus then divides into 3 cords, called the lateral, posterior, and medial cords. The cords terminate in 5 main peripheral nerves: axillary, musculocutaneous, median, radial, and ulnar.

In tests on rats, researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Michigan have developed a treatment that helps spinal cord nerves regrow after injury. The findings will be published in the ...

The top of the nerve is rooted in spinal nerves L2, L3, and L4. These three vertebrae reside near the bottom of your lumbar plexus, a bundle of nerves located in your lower spine.

New research into the way nerve fibers enter the wall of the spinal cord during early development in zebrafish could lead to regenerative therapies for people with injuries to their brachial ...

Electromyography (EMG) testing to determine the quality of donor nerves can improve the outcome of nerve transfer surgery to restore function in patients with a brachial plexus injury, new ...

Upper-arm weakness (paresis) or paralysis indicates peripheral-nerve damage to the brachial plexus, a network of lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal nerves supplying the arm, forearm, and ...
