The primary nerve responsible for walking is the sciatic nerve, which originates from the lower back and innervates the muscles of the legs and feet. It controls the movement of the muscles involved in walking, including those in the thighs, calves, and feet. Additionally, the spinal cord and various other nerves play crucial roles in coordinating and facilitating walking through motor control and balance.

Why does a persons leg and foot drag on the ground when they have siatica?
The nerve (the sciatic) goes to the muscles that move the leg. If the "pinching" is removed by opening the foramen (Foraminal Stenosis) that the nerve goes through, the ability to walk will come back.
What is the largest of the cranial nerves and the most important sensory nerve of the face.?
The largest cranial nerve is the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), which is also the most important sensory nerve of the face. It is responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing. The trigeminal nerve has three major branches: the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves, which innervate different areas of the face. Its extensive sensory distribution makes it crucial for facial sensation.
What foramen does the trochlear nerve go through?
The trochlear nerve is also known as cranial nerve IV (CN-IV). It is the only cranial nerve that emerges dorsally from the brain, which also makes it the longest pathway. It is the smallest nerve to service the eye. CN-IV passes through superior orbital fissure, and it provides for only a motor function. It serves the superior oblique eye muscle and connects to the annular tendon. As a result, it processes brain signals to move eyes up and down and outwards. Whether due to a head injury or a complication of surgery, damage to this nerve will compromise some ability to use the superior oblique eye muscle. Without the use of the nerve, the superior oblique eye muscle will not no longer function properly. The muscle, not the trochlear nerve, physically moves the eyeball. Double vision, otherwise known as diplopia, results from problems with muscle or the nerve. Complications from these issues will result in a diminished ability to walk, especially down stairs.

What is the nerve in the medial epicondyle that makes your hand tingle?
