Lateral cord and median nerve are associated with variations. We observed concurrent variations in the formation of lateral cord and median nerve in thirty two formalin fixed cadavers. In 29.6% upper limbs Lateral cord was formed by anterior division of upper trunk only. In 21.8% of these cases the anterior division of middle trunk formed two additional roots for the median nerve and in 7.8% ca...

Individuals with tetraplegia have loss of motor function in both their upper and lower extremities. Research is being conducted into the development of an exoskeleton to cater for the tetraplegic user. An exoskeleton system has the advantage of assisting disabled or rehabilitating patients without the need of surgery. This paper includes the conceptual design of an upper and lower limb exoskele...

As compared to Neandertals, Upper Paleolithic Europeans tend to have longer limbs, both absolutely and relative to estimated skeletal trunk height; narrower bi-iliac breadths, both absolutely and relative to femur length; and higher brachial and crural indices.1–...
