About this document
Upper Arm Dermatome Examination Guide by mothafaralmalki844 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A dermatome is the skin area supplied by sensory fibers from a single spinal nerve root, with key cervical dermatomes in the arm identified as C5 to T1. Examination involves testing light touch or pin-prick sensations in specific areas to diagnose nerve root lesions or spinal cord injuries. The document also distinguishes between dermatomes and myotomes, providing a clinical example of sensory loss due to a herniated disc at C6–C7.
