Question
which nerve condition affects shoulder muscles without sensory symptoms?
suprascapular neuropathy
axillary neuropathy
radial neuropathy
musculocutaneous neuropathy
view hint for question 40
Suprascapular neuropathy primarily impacts the supraspinatus and infraspinatus (shoulder muscles) and typically presents with motor weakness without sensory deficits, as the suprascapular nerve only carries motor fibers to these muscles and no sensory fibers for the shoulder region. Axillary neuropathy causes both deltoid weakness and sensory loss over the lateral shoulder. Radial neuropathy affects forearm/hand muscles and has sensory symptoms in the dorsal hand. Musculocutaneous neuropathy leads to biceps weakness and sensory loss in the lateral forearm.
