Motor Innervation of the Trapezius by Cervical Sensitive Nerves: An Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Study and Postoperative Functional Outcomes
Approximately half of the neck dissections exhibited CSN-related motor responses. Short-term shoulder flexion was better preserved when CSN motor participation was present, suggesting that documenting CSN motor input intraoperatively may inform early rehabilitation planning.
