Note, for example, that the palmar in- terossei adduct the fingers, while the dorsalinterossei abduct them. Simplification: Five Nerves to Remember in the Leg It is most clinically important to be familiar with the functions of the femoral, obturator, sciatic, tibial, and peroneal nerves in the leg. Table 9.3 summarizes the motor and sensory functions of these nerves, and they are demonstrated on neuroexam.com Videos 56 and 57. Table 8.1 provides ad- ditional details. Note again thatthe sen- sory territories shown in Table 93 are smaller than in Figure 95, since here we ate interested in regions of sensory loss. The tibial and common peroneal nerves are the two most important branches of the sciatic nerve. The ham- string muscles (semitendinosus, semi- membranosus, and biceps femoris) are innervated by the sciatic nerve it- self before it divides into the tibial and common peroneal nerves. The com- ‘mon peroneal nerve divides further to give rise to the superficial and deep peroneal nerves (sce Figures 9.3 and 94; Table 93), REVIEW EXERCISE 1.Tur back to Tables 3.4-3.6 in Chapter3, where we discussed strength and reflex testing (see also neuroexam.com Videos 54-58), In these tables, cover all columns except for the eft-most column, For each action or reflex, listthe appropriate muscle, nerves, and nerve roots being tested (refer to Table 8.1). 2.ln Tables 9.1 and 93, cover the columns showing the regions of sensory loss and sketch the region (of sensory loss foreach of the five nerves in the arm and the leg.
