Hi everyone,
Just a quick question.
What are some of the differential diagnoses when considering profound
unilateral tibialis anterior and long extensor weakness. No digital
extension or ankle dorsiflexion at all on resisted testing. The pt I'm
seeing has no sensory deficits whatsoever. No pain either, just concern.
I've thought of spinal cord lesion, PNS lupus, MS and some others.
I'm a little lost on further tests and management.
Thanks for your thoughts !
Matthew
