|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| There is a lesion impinging on the right side of the spinal cord in the lumbar region. Would this cause any loss in mechanical somatic sensation in the left leg? | No. The dorsal column medial lemniscal system decussates in the caudal medulla. Therefore, the LESION would have to be on the left side to have a mechanical sensation impairment in the left side.

| There is a lesion impinging on the Left side of the spinal cord in the lumbar region. Would this cause any loss in mechanical somatic sensation in the left leg? | Yes, the dorsal column medial lemniscal system decussates in the caudal medulla.
Therefore, the mechanical sensation deficit would be on the same side of the lesion.

Pain and Temperature Sensation

| If there is a lesion on the left side of the spinal cord in the lumbar region, What would cause increased tone in the left side? | Upper motor neuron tract is interrupted.
Lower motor neuron lesions cause flaccidity.

| If there is a lesion on the left side of the spinal cord in the lumbar region, how might this patient might present? | Left sided sensation loss to vibration, pressure, light touch --> DCML pathway
Right sided sensation loss to pain and temperature --> Anterolateral Pathway
Left sided spasticity from upper motor neuron interruption --> Corticospinal??
