Simplified teaching model. Real symptoms depend on inflammation as well as pressure, and the same squeeze can hurt one person and not another. Dermatomes are a simplified classic map that overlaps and varies between people. Severity steps are illustrative: irritation first gives radicular pain, more compression adds numbness, weakness and a smaller reflex. Thoracic roots below T1 are not shown.
Findings are randomly generated teaching cases that follow the classic maps. Real people vary, and a real diagnosis needs a full history and examination. The worked solution shows each clue crossing off roots that do not fit.
Your job
Drag a card onto a box, or tap a card and then tap the box's name. Cards are buttons, so Tab and Enter work too.
Fictional adults with generic first names. Teaching scenarios about reasoning, safety and referral, not medical advice and not a guide to treatment.
Wrong picks are fine here. Each one tells you why.
