Myotomes of the Spinal Cord Each segmental nerve root innervates more than one muscle. For simplicity, certain muscles or muscle groups are identified as representing a single spinal nerve root. External anal sphincter tone should also be assessed by digital examination. Note that the spinal cord ends at Ll (below this is the cauda equina). The cauda equina is more resilient to injury than the spinal cord. #Myotomes #SpinalCord #Diagnosis #Neurology #Localization
Equipment suppliers who are involved in the process of providing wheelchairs and seating components to individuals who have suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI) should understand the anatomy and physiology of SCI, as well as what to expect at each level of injury. As part of the central nervous system (CNS), the spinal cord (SC) is comprised of delicate tracts of nerve tissue originating in the brain. As it emerges from the base of the skull and extends down the back, it is encircled and protected by the bones (vertebrae) of the spinal column.
