LocationThe C7 nerve root can be evaluated by testing sensation on the volar aspect of the middle finger. Significance Loss of sensation should be correlated to the motor exam; in this case wrist flexion. Sensory loss involving a more diffuse area, overlapping several dermatomes suggests a peripheral nerve injury. The most sensitive way of assessing sensory loss is using two-point discrimination. | Figures
