Listen "Myotomes"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, We discuss the key muscles affected by spinal cord injuries at various levels. I explain the specific muscles and their functions, such as the diaphragm at C4, biceps at C5, extensor carpi radialis at C6, triceps at C7, and others down to the anal sphincter at S2. The discussion covers how each muscle or group is impacted and what movements they control, from elbow flexion to finger abduction and hip flexion. This foundational knowledge is crucial for occupational therapy practice and understanding spinal cord injuries. Do further reading and fact-checks so you'll find your own truth - Hao
