C4 Diaphragm; Trapezius Respiration; Scapular elevation Increased ability to use assistive devices that utilize scapular/head and mouth movement Power w/c with mouth or chin control Total dependence
C5 Biceps; Deltoid Elbow flexion; Shoulder external rotation; Shoulder abduction to 90 degrees Self feeding; Some self care with UE assistive devices Powered w/c with hand controls; Limited manual w/c propulsion Can assist with transfers
C6 Pectoralis Major; Extensor carpi radialis; Teres Major Shoulder flexion; Wrist extension Tenodesis grasp; Bed mobility with rails; Independent with pressure relief weight shifts Independent with manual w/c projections; Will likely still use power w/c due to fatigue May be independent with sliding board transfers
C7 Triceps; Latissimus dorsi; Extrinsic finger extensors; Flexor carpi radialis Elbow extension; Wrist flexion; Finger extension Indepedent living possible; Independent with: lateral push-up pressure relief; LE dressing; LE self-ROM Independent transfers Independent manual w/c propulsion
C8-T1 FLexor carpi ulnaris; Extrinsic and intrinsic hand muscles Full innervation of upper extremities Full independence in activities requiring primarily UE use Negotiation of 2-4 inch curbs and wheelis in w/c Independent in w/c transfers
T1-T8 Top half of intercostals Improved respiratory control Full independence in activities requiring primarily UE use with improved respiratory and trunk control Negotiation of 6 inch curb T6-T8 physiological standing with orthoses in parallel bars
T9-T12 Abdominal Good trunk control Independence in all ADLs from a w/c level Independent Household ambulation with bilateral KAFOs and assistive device
T12 N/A Good trunk control Independence in all ADLs from a w/c level Will use w/c for primary means of mobility Community ambulation with bilateral KAFOs and assistive device; No hip flexor function
L1-L2 Quadratus lumborum; Iliopsoas and sartorius Hip hiking; Weak hip flexion Independence in all ADLs from a w/c level Will use w/c for primary means of mobility Can be independent in community ambulation with bilateral KAFOs and assistive devices
L3-L5 L3-L4 iliopsoas strong; L4-L5 quadricep, medial hamstrings strong Hip flexion; Knee extension Independence in all ADLs from a w/c level Will use w/c for primary means of mobility; May continue to use w/c for efficient mobility Ambulation with bilateral AFOs and canes possible; No gluteus maximus function
S1-S2 Plantar flexors; Gluteus maximus Plantar flexion; Hip extension Independence in all ADLs from a w/c level Will use w/c for primary means of mobility; May continue to use w/c for efficient mobility May ambulate with articulated AFOs

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
