Nerve Damage and Stroke Implications

Stroke Implications

• A stroke results in damage to neurological cells.

Nerve Damage Scenario

• The scenario involves damage to two different nerves within the same class, but the initial understanding of the scenario was incorrect.

Median Nerve and Associated Muscles

• APD refers to abductor pollicis brevis, which is innervated by the median nerve.
• Pronator teres is another muscle controlled by the median nerve.

EMG and ATV Considerations

• If an electromyography (EMG) is performed on the pronator teres, and there's an issue, as well as an issue with the abductor pollicis brevis (APB), then both are affected.
