18 kwi 2024 · Knowing muscle innervations is an important skill for medical professionals such as Physical Therapists, Physicians, and Occupational Therapists. This is a list of muscle innervations grouped by nerves and includes the spinal nerve roots that contribute to the innervation of each muscle.
These complex networks of nerves enable the brain to receive sensory inputs from the skin and to send motor controls for muscle movements. In the cervical spine, there are eight pairs of spinal nerves labeled C1 to C8, which innervate the neck, shoulder, arm, hand, and more.
