Functional motor innervation of brachial plexus roots. An intraoperative electrophysiological study.
To study the functional motor innervation of C5-T1 nerve roots of the brachial plexus electrophysiologically. ⋯ The brachial plexus is functionally divided into three groups: C5, 6 innervate shoulder and elbow; C8T1 innervate the hand; and C7 innervates shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. Theoretically, any division of the nerve root alone may not cause damage to limb function.
