Thanks cvelsuc!

On the site, it also told you which nerves in the different parts of the spine controlled the different parts of the body so you could see how a certain injury/disability would effect function. I'll see if I can find it again! :bye:

Whew. That image was kicking my butt. Sometimes the image would show, sometimes not. But Simon's got the real goods. Just trying to help...

Have you found any good myotome maps? I was looking for dermatome and myotome maps when I found this website and forum but am still looking for some good maps showing the specific muscles or muscle groups at each level of the spinal cord. One thing I've found most interesting is the fact that the spinal cord is different lengths in different people due to the rates of growth for the spine and the cord. I've been told that it is common to get a return in function two to three levels lower than the site of injury. I think this can be explained in some instances due to the relationship of the cord within the spine. For example, someone suffering an injury at the T-11 level may regain function to the L-1 level due to the position of the functional area of the cord within the spine. I have a good booklet by 'Hollister' that describes this. I've been to their website but didn't find the booklet available. But, you may be able to request it! "Living With Spinal Cord Injury, A Guide for the Newly Injured".
Boat racing accident July 2006. Still hoping for some return!
