A 45-year-old male presents with left-sided neck and shoulder pain. On examination, there is right arm abduction weakness and decreased bicep and brachioradialis reflexes. An EMG was ordered and showed fibrillations of the deltoids, supraspinatus, and biceps muscles. EMG testing of the triceps, first dorsal interosseous, abductor policies brevis, and rhomboid muscles were normal. These findings are most likely due to radiculopathy of which of the following nerve roots?

Which of the following muscles is solely innervated by the C5 nerve root?

Damage to which of the following muscles can lead to scapular winging?

Which of the following dermatomes are correctly matched with their associated anatomical location?

Which of the following dermatomes lies closest to the T2 dermatome, relative to the topographical position on the skin?

A 27-year-old presents to the clinic with finger extension, wrist extension, shoulder abduction, and shoulder adduction weakness. There is also numbness along the lateral and posterior arm. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the patient’s symptoms?

An EMG/NCS is performed for the evaluation of subacute left upper extremity weakness in an adult female. There are fibrillation potentials in the deltoid and biceps on EMG and decreased median and radial sensory amplitudes on NCS. Which portion of the brachial plexus was injured?

A 56-year-old female presents to the clinic with right posterior leg pain. On examination, there is decreased sensation of the right posterior calf and weakness in right ankle plantarflexion. EMG testing shows fibrillations of the gastrocnemius and gluteus maximus muscles. EMG testing of the tibialis anterior, gluteus medius, and tensor fascia lata were normal. What is the most likely etiology of this patient’s symptoms?

Which of the following nerves when damaged can lead to scapular winging?

Which of the following features on EMG is suggestive of chronic denervation?

A 35-year-old man developed a right clavicle fracture after an accidental fall from a ladder while hanging Christmas lights. He was treated conservatively with a figure-of-eight bandage and sling. He presents to your clinic 2 weeks after the accident. He states ever since the accident he has had right arm and shoulder pain, as well as numbness extending from his triceps to his middle dorsal aspect of the forearm, wrist, and dorsal aspect of digits 1,2 and 3. On examination, his strength is 5/5 throughout all extremities except 4/5 to abduction of the deltoid, extension of the triceps, and wrist extension.

Which nerve or cord, if injured by the clavicle fracture, would explain his symptoms?

A 46-year-old female presents to the clinic with right-hand numbness, specifically in the 4th and 5th digits. EMG testing reveals fibrillations on the first dorsal interosseous, and flexor pollicis longus. EMG testing of the abductor pollicis brevis and triceps was unremarkable. These findings are most likely caused by radiculopathy of which of the following nerve roots?

A 55-year-old male presents to the clinic with a complaint of right lower extremity pain and weakness. On examination of the right lower extremity, there is decreased sensation to pinprick on the medial calf and foot, 4/5 strength with knee extension, and a mute patellar reflex. These findings are most likely due to radiculopathy of which of the following nerve roots?
