Satellite Sign on Physical Exam

Quick and easy detection of UMN weakness - finger rolling or what I like to call the ‘Satellite sign’- subtle weakness of left side → gradual orbiting of the weaker side ( left index) by the normal right index finger

Oppositional Grasp Weakness in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Dysfunction of the six- Opposition weakness-in carpal tunnel syndrome with Opponens Pollicis. Pincer grasp is lost. Can we used to check for both weakness of the median nerve & Ulnar nerve (opponens digiti minimi). In this case, the right side is weaker than the left.

Left Tongue Deviation caused by UMN XII palsy Looks can be deceiving. The UMN innervation of most cranial nerves is bilateral which means that each cranial nerve receives impulses from the left and right hemisphere. Exceptions to this rule are CN 5,7 &12. Although at first glance it looks like a left LMN XII n palsy , the preserved movements to either side inspite of deviation on protrusion is suggestive . CT brain ⬇️ Dx- UMN XII nerve palsy. Lesion - infarction right subcortex. Dr. Boby Varkey Maramattom @bobvarkey #Left #Tongue #Deviation #UMN #CNXII #palsy #clinical #video #hypoglossal #physicalexam #neurology
