INBRACHIAL PLEXUS is a group of nerves that arise from spinal levels C5-T1. This is the main nerve supply to the shoulder and upper limb. It is made up of 16-17 nerves (depending on the presence of the accessory phrenic nerve), and has 5 large terminal nerve branches, 4 of which traverse through the upper limb: Axillary Nerve, Radial Nerve, Musculocutaneous Neve, Median Nerve, and Ulnar Nerve.

DR10 Important Neurological Signs (Clinical + Exam High-Yield)
Upper motor neuron / meningeal / sensory signs
→ Babinski sign
→ Upgoing plantar reflex (great toe dorsiflexion ± fanning)
→ Suggests UMN (corticospinal tract) lesion (normal in infants)
→ Brudzinski sign
→ Passive neck flexion involuntary hip + knee flexion
→ Suggests meningeal irritation (e.g., meningitis/SAH)
→ Kernig sign
→ Hip flexed 90° pain/resistance with knee extension
→ Suggests meningeal irritation (not always present)
→ Romberg sign
→ Loss of balance worse with eyes closed
→ Indicates sensory ataxia / proprioceptive loss (dorsal columns, peripheral neuropathy, vestibular)
→ Cerebellar ataxia = unsteady even with eyes open
→ Opisthotonus
→ Severe backward arching due to muscle spasm
→ Classically tetanus; can be seen in severe meningitis/encephalitis, strychnine poisoning, severe dystonia
Movement disorders / autonomic / peripheral signs
→ Cogwheel rigidity
→ Jerky "ratchety" resistance during passive movement (rigidity + tremor)
→ Seen in Parkinson's disease
→ Resting tremor
→ "Pill-rolling" tremor at rest, improves with voluntary movement
→ Characteristic of Parkinson's disease
→ Horner syndrome
→ Ptosis + miosis + anhidrosis (± enophthalmos)
→ Indicates sympathetic pathway lesion (e.g., carotid dissection, Pancoast tumor, brainstem lesion)
→ Kayser-Fleischer ring
→ Golden-brown/green-brown corneal ring (copper in Descemet membrane)
→ Seen in Wilson's disease
→ Claw hand
→ MCP hyperextension + IP flexion (esp. 4th/5th digits)
→ Seen in ulnar nerve palsy; also leprosy / lower brachial plexus lesions

PHUpper Limb Myotomes (C1–T1)
• C1: Neck flexion
• C2: Neck extension
• C3: Neck lateral flexion
• C4: Shoulder elevation (trapezius)
• C5: Shoulder abduction (deltoid)
• C6: Elbow flexion & wrist extension
• C7: Elbow extension (triceps)
• C8: Finger flexion (grip)
• T1: Finger abduction & adduction (interossei)
Quick tip: Upper limb function is mainly C5–T1 (brachial plexus roots).

NUWatch the series: “This Segment Influences…”
Episode 8 of 26 — T1
This segment is associated with the arms and upper breathing mechanics.
Next — T2
If your hands go numb, your grip feels weaker, or your breathing feels shallow — the origin may be higher than you think.
T1 is the transition between the cervical and thoracic spine.
It functions as a neuroanatomical junction.
Clinically, T1 is associated with:
• contribution to the brachial plexus (C8–T1)
• upper limb vascular tone regulation
• sympathetic chain influence in the upper thorax
• upper rib mechanics
• arm–breath coordination
5 key facts about T1:
1. Commonly overloaded in forward head and rounded shoulder posture.
2. May contribute to distal sensory patterns in the hand.
3. Influences upper rib expansion during breathing.
4. Critical transition zone: C7–T1–T2.
5. Dysfunction rarely remains local — symptoms often present distally.
Save for reference.
Share with colleagues.
Watch all 26 spinal segments — the spine functions as an integrated system.
Medical-grade body media.
Educational content. Not medical advice.
••••••••••••••
5 ways to support T1 function
1. Posterior cervical elongation awareness.
2. Gentle mobility work for C7–T1–T2.
3. Upper rib expansion breathing drills.
4. Rhomboid and lower trapezius strengthening.
5. Coordinated hand activation with thoracic stabilization.

BRI'm an incomplete quadriplegic and I can move my hands!
This question gets asked so much "how can you be a quad and move your hands?"
Here's why:
1. Cervical Spine Involvement (C8/T1 Nerves)The C8 and T1 nerve roots exit the spinal cord at the lower part of the cervical spine. These nerves contribute to the brachial plexus, which controls hand and forearm function. Damage to these nerves impairs the muscles that allow for fine motor control and strength in the ring and pinky fingers.
(While I broke my neck at c2, I also crushed my spine at T1, among many other places)
2. Ulnar Nerve Distribution: The ulnar nerve, which is derived from the C8 and T1 nerve roots, controls sensation and motor function to the ring and pinky fingers. An incomplete spinal cord injury that affects these nerve roots can lead to weakness, loss of coordination, or numbness in these fingers.
3. Injury to the Lower Cervical Cord: Incomplete injuries to the spinal cord at C8/T1 often spare some function but can still lead to specific deficits in the hands, such as difficulty gripping or flexing the ring and pinky fingers. Since these fingers are typically controlled by the ulnar side of the hand, they are more vulnerable when this part of the spinal cord is compromised.
Deficits can range from minimally noticeable, to total paralysis of those fingers. It will depend on the severity of injury.

IMThis video of my occupational therapist making my splint is making the rounds again so I figured I’d share it here!
I’m getting ready to go back to @ubpn_official camp and my friend @thesaragroves is helping to raise funds so that more of us with brachial plexus injuries (BPI) can attend.
Even after living with BPI for 25 years, getting to attend camp for the first time 2 years ago was transformative.
I share a couple stories from UBPN Camp in my forthcoming book, THE ANTI-ABLEIST MANIFESTO, now available for preorder at https://bit.ly/AntiAbleistBook

Video description/transcript: a video of Tiffany’s hand with her occupational therapist putting thermoplastic on it to create her splint. Voiceover: “This is thermoplastic. I learned what it was called thanks to TikTok. And so, it starts out as that, like solid piece of plastic, and then my occupational therapist puts it in really, really hot water. So then it becomes moldable like this. That’s why he used that colored pencil to mark where my thumb was going to go. So by the time he puts it on my hand, it’s still pretty hot. That’s why he flipped it a couple times before putting it on my hand. And then also when it is in this softer state, he can cut it. And so here he is, again, this is from two years ago, molding the splint to fit on my hand. So, I get a custom splint every time.”
