What is the causes of median nerve injury?
penetrating injuries to the arm
What causes nerve entrapment?
Most nerve entrapment syndromes are caused by injury to the nerve as it travels between a canal consisting of bone or ligament.
what are the common causes of nerve pain and nerve damage?
Many causes of nerve pain or damage or due to some type of injury to the spinal column, like a slipped disc. Sometimes a pinched nerve can cause excruciating pain too.
What are some common causes of pinched nerves?
A pinched nerve is when the surrounding tissue causes too much pressure to the nerve. Some common causes for this are osteoarthritis, injury, bad posture, obesity, sports activities, or stress from repetitive jobs.
How can an injury to a peripheral nerve cause loss of both sensory and motor function?
An injury to a peripheral nerve causes loss of both sensory and motor functions since that specific part is supplied by the motor pathway such as spinothalalmic and corticospinal.
What causes radiculopathy?
Radiculopathy can be caused by any disease or injury process that compresses or otherwise injures the spinal nerve roots.
Do you still have a stretch reflex with a cervical nerve injury?
Yes, you may still have a stretch reflex with a cervical nerve injury.
Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?
Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.
Could a back injury from a year ago cause numbness in the top of your head sometimes radiating down the sides of your face?
Yes it can. You either have a pinched nerve or damaged nerve. Even though the damage from your back injury can be that causes stress (stress works on nerve endings.) See your doctor and try acupuncture (it doesn't hurt). It worked for me. Good luck
When striking the funny bone may cause injury to a nerve of this plexus?
Ulnar nerve
What causes pain in the back of the shoulder?
The most common cause of nerve endings to the shoulder results from a proximal humerus fracture. Running circumferential to the proximal end of the humerus is the axillary nerve. Injury to the humerus such as fractures or subluxation can directly injure the axillary nerve resulting in possible sensation loss or muscle weakness around the deltoid, teres minor and triceps muscle. Other causes of injury: - Injections (for e.g. cortisone) and vaccinations: if given too high in the anterior (front part) aspect of the deltoid, may result in the rupture of the axillary nerve
What causes motor nerve damage?
pulling on the nerve
