Diseases of the Lower Cervical Nerve Group and the Brachial Plexus.—The nerves of this group are subject to the pathological disturbances common to all nerves. I shall describe them from the clinical side, which gives the following disorders: Paralyses. r Combined arm palsies. ! Upper-arm type or Erb's palsy. Lower-arm type. Paralysis of individual nerves. Spasmodic Disorders. { Occupation neuroses. ■' Brachial neuralgia. Sensory Disorders. •] Digital neuralgia. ( Numb bands. Secretory, Trophic, \ and Vasomotor Dis- [• Neurotic oedema, orders. ) Spasmodic Disorders of the Arm.—The arms and hands are especially subject to tremors, choreic and other spasmodic move- ments. The only spasmodic disorders, however, which may be said to be especially located there are writer's cramp and allied occupa- tion neuroses. These are described elsewhere. Brachial Paralyses, Arm Palsies.—These occur as com- bined or total-arm palsies, upper-arm and lower-arm types, and paralyses of single nerves. Combined paralysis of the brachial nerves is a condition in
