Question
how can you differentiate c7 radiculopathy from a radial neuropathy? triceps muscle test triceps reflex wrist flexor muscle test finger extensor muscle test
C7 radiculopathy affects nerves that innervate wrist flexors, while radial neuropathy primarily impacts wrist/ finger extensors, not flexors. Triceps function (test/reflex) and finger extensor testing are affected in both conditions, so they cannot differentiate the two. Wrist flexor testing will be impaired in C7 radiculopathy but intact in radial neuropathy, making it the differentiating test.
