Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a pocket chart for localizing lesions of the peripheral nervous system in the area of brachial- and lumbosacral plexus distribution.
  • Said chart has the advantage of being a handy tool of rapid use for a safe diagnosis of the location of a nerve lesion, which constitutes the basis for an adequate prognosis and therapy strategy.
  • an aid is given to the physician, be he a specialist (neurologist, neurosurgeon, physiatrist, orthopedist) or a general practitioner, for acquiring a correct orientation in such pathologies.
  • the chart of the invention allows thus to bypass the task of combining the study, in the books, of the anatomy and functionality of the brachial- or lumbosacral plexus with the clinical electromyographic examination of the patient. In practice it is often problematic, through the synthesis of said two elements, to reach a rapid diagnostic conclusion, while the use of the chart according to the invention permits to immediately integrate the two elements .
  • the chart consists of a flexible card divided into four sections designed respectively as A, B, C and D.
  • section A In section A are listed the test muscles for the innervation of the upper extremity, in section B the consultation graph for locating the nerve lesion in the area of the brachial plexus is reported, in section C are listed the test muscles for the innervation of the lower extremity and in section D a consultation graph for locating the nerve lesion in the lumbosacral plexus area is reported.
  • section B we represent the distribution graph of the brachial plexus indicating, from left to right, the motor roots and the various nervous trunks that are gradually formed down to their terminal ramifications. In the lower part of section B the various abbreviations are listed.
  • the brachial plexus is represented in the successive stages at which the mixing takes place of the nervous fibers coming from motor roots (C 5 -T 1 ) and which converge to form the primary trunks, which on their turn subdivide to form secondary trunks from which last the peripheral trunks and the single terminal ramifications originate.
  • the evaluation of the muscle functionality is expressed in a numerical scale in which 5 indicates normality and 0 the total absence of motion, the intermediate deficit degrees being indicated with numbers between 0 and 5.
  • 5 indicates normality and 0 the total absence of motion
  • the intermediate deficit degrees being indicated with numbers between 0 and 5.
  • the related lesion site is identified in the case which contains all and only the deteriorated muscles of diagram 1 which reproduces section B of fig. 1.
  • the lesion is located in correspondence of the brachial plexus posterior cord (PC).
  • the patient shows a deficit of the brachioradialis-(BR), extensor carpi radialis- (ECR), extensor digitorum-(ED); abductor Pollicis Longus- (APL) muscles.
  • BR brachioradialis-
  • ECR extensor carpi radialis-
  • ED extensor digitorum-
  • APL abductor Pollicis Longus-
  • section C of figure 1 are listed the test muscles for the lower extremity innervation and in section D a graph of the lumbosacral plexus distribution is represented.
