Symptoms of upper limb disorders can vary widely but commonly include pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling sensations in the arm, hand, or fingers. Limited range of motion and stiffness in the joints may also occur. Additionally, swelling, tenderness, and difficulty performing daily activities can be indicative of such disorders. Symptoms may result from conditions like repetitive strain injuries, Arthritis, or nerve compression syndromes.

The muscle is, Lattisimus dorsi, connected with upper limb at the bicipital groove and with lower limb at illiac crest.
The dorsalis pedis pulse is not detected in the upper limb, as it is located in the foot. In the upper limb, pulses such as the radial and ulnar can be palpated. The dorsalis pedis pulse is specifically associated with the lower limb's vascular system.
Two joint muscles in the upper limb is the wrist and the elbow. Two joint muscles in the lower limb is the ankle and the knee.
The answer for upper limb is almost always "arm." Was the clue plural?
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) consists of a group of distinct disorders that affect the nerves in the brachial plexus (nerves that pass into the arms from the neck) and various nerves and blood vessels between the base of the neck and axilla (armpit). For the most part, these disorders have very little in common except the site of occurrence. The disorders are complex, somewhat confusing, and poorly defined, each with various signs and symptoms of the upper limb.
The most proximal part of the upper limb is the shoulder, specifically the shoulder girdle, which connects the upper limb to the trunk. This includes structures such as the clavicle (collarbone) and scapula (shoulder blade). The shoulder joint itself, where the humerus meets the scapula, is also considered a proximal feature of the upper limb.
Upper limb hyperreflexia is a condition where there is an exaggerated response of the muscles in the upper limbs to a reflex test. This can be caused by various neurological conditions such as spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, or stroke, leading to increased muscle tone and overactive reflexes in the upper limbs. Symptoms may include muscle stiffness, involuntary muscle contractions, and exaggerated reflex responses.

The main vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the upper limb is the subclavian artery. This artery branches off from the aortic arch in the chest and continues into the upper limb where it gives off smaller branches to provide blood supply to the arm and hand.
