Level 1 Difficulty
🤔Which nerve roots join to form the long thoracic nerve?
➡️ Answer C5-C7

Level 2 Difficulty
🤔 What muscle(s) are innervated by the long thoracic nerve?
➡️ Answer: It innervates on muscle - serratus anterior - which plays a crucial role in stabilizing the scapula against the thoracic wall during arm movements

Level 3 Difficulty
🤔 What are the clinical manifestations and potential causes of long thoracic nerve injury?
➡️ Answer: Long thoracic nerve injury typically presents as scapular winging, characterized by the protrusion of the scapula away from the thoracic wall during arm movements. Causes of injury include trauma (e.g., direct impact or stretching), repetitive overhead activities, surgical procedures (e.g., mastectomy or lymph node dissection), and compression (e.g., backpack straps or prolonged pressure during sleep).

❓Why is the upper extremity more affected than the lower extremity?

❗️The cervical spine is the most central tract in the corticospinal tract, followed by the thoracic, lumbar and sacral tracts.

With a central cord lesion, only the central portion of the corticospinal tract is affected. Since the cervical representation in the corticospinal tract is the most medial, the upper extremity is more affected.

⭐️This is a great formula to use when educating patients with chronic diseases.

🧑‍💻If you are preparing for you clinical exam (BC, Alberta or OCE), we encourage you to prepare for situations where you would need to educate your patient on how to modify their daily life to mitigate flair ups of their chronic disease.
