Introduction The abducens nerve, also known as the abducent nerve, controls the movement of the lateral rectus muscle, allowing your eye to rotate away from the centre of your body and look left or right. The 6th cranial nerve (CN VI) functions as the abducens. This nerve only has a motor function and not a…
What is a Peripheral Nerve Injury? Peripheral nerve injury causes damage or disruption to the nerves that extend from the spinal cord and brain to the rest of the body, which affects sensation, movement, and motor coordination. The peripheral nervous system is a group of motor and sensory nerves that connect the central nervous system…

A sacral plexus injury is the result of damage to these nerves. Sacral nerve pain can be caused by physical trauma, especially if the sacral nerve…
Introduction The trigeminal nerve (CN V) is its fifth and largest cranial nerve. Its primary function is to provide sensory innervation to the face, which is divided into three major branches. The ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2), and mandibular (V3) nerves are the three branches. The trigeminal ganglia, located within the Meckel’s cave of the middle…
What is a Femoral Neuropathy? Femoral neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the femoral nerve, a major nerve in the leg that originates from the lumbar plexus of the lower back (specifically from the second, third, and fourth lumbar nerves). The femoral nerve is one of the biggest nerves in the body. It begins…
Introduction The trochlear nerve, or fourth cranial nerve (CN IV), acts as one of the ocular motor nerves that regulate eye movement. As the only cranial nerve with a dorsal outflow from the brainstem, the trochlear nerve, despite being the smallest, has the longest intracranial path. It starts in the midbrain and travels laterally and…
Axillary nerve injury results in a condition that occurs when the axillary nerve is damaged. The axillary nerve is a nerve that runs from the upper back down the arm to the shoulder.
