Dermatomes, Myotomes & Reflexes in The Lower Limb

The lower limb is innervated by lumbar and sacral spinal nerves that form distinct dermatomal patterns and myotomal muscle groups. Key reflexes like the patellar tendon reflex can be tested clinically through percussion or tapping and provide insight into nerve function. Mapping dermatomes, myotomes and reflexes aids neurological examinations and localization of pathology affecting the lower extremities.
