C7 spinal cord injury and other injuries to the lower cervical vertebrae/nerves can result in paralysis and other health complications. Watch Our Video. The C6 and C7 cervical vertebrae (and the C8 spinal nerve) form the lowest levels of the cervical spine and directly impact the arm and hand muscles.

The C6-C7 spinal motion segment bears the primary load from the weight of the head and supports the lower part of the neck. This motion segment is susceptible to degeneration, trauma, and intervertebral disc problems.

When the C6 C7 spine is impacted, symptoms may include pain radiating into the arm, weakness in the triceps, or tingling in the middle finger. Understanding the relationship between the affected nerve and the level of the herniation, such as at the C6 C7 spine, is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment. Treatment Options for C6 C7 Spine ...

2020年12月15日 · The loss of the C5 (biceps) and C6 (brachioradialis) reflexes in the presence of a brisk C7 (triceps) reflex is almost a pathognomonic physical examination finding for spinal cord compression at...

C7 nerves: Enable elbow extension and some finger movements, playing a role in grasping, releasing, and fine motor skills. What are the symptoms of a cervical spinal cord injury? Due to its proximity to the brain and its control over a large portion of the body, injuries to the cervical spinal cord are often the most severe, frequently leading ...

Lesions of the seventh cervical (C7) root are common and cause a readily recognised neurological syndrome. Recognition of this pattern is essential in differentiating C7 root lesions from lesions of the brachial plexus or peripheral nerves. Serratus anterior weakness is not generally included in this syndrome.

C-7 and T-1 injuries can be classified as either complete or incomplete injuries. Complete injuries result in the total loss of movement and sensation below the point of injury, while incomplete injuries indicate that some function below the level of injury is retained. Effects of C-7 …

Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a lesion in the posterior elements of C7 which extended through the pedicle and into the body. Preoperative angiography confirmed a hypervascular lesion which was successfully embolized.

2021年1月1日 · We aimed to determine C5/C6/C7 myotomes based on clinical and EMG data of patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) having a single-root lesion confirmed by MRI. Medical Research Council (MRC) scores and EMG findings were retrospectively reviewed for patients enrolled from our EMG database.
