Summary
This study introduces a new method to measure spinal accessory nerve latency in the middle and lower trapezius muscles. This technique aids in diagnosing trapezius dysfunction and assessing recovery after nerve injury.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Anatomy
- Physiology
Background:
- Trapezius muscle dysfunction often results from spinal accessory nerve injury.
- Existing nerve latency studies focus solely on the upper trapezius segment.
- Accurate assessment is crucial for patients experiencing pain or limited cooperation.
