Dermatomes

When healthcare providers are trying to diagnose a nerve problem, they find it useful to think of what nerve or part of the spinal cord may be involved in the problem. If your leg doesn't work as it should, for instance, your healthcare provider may look at the nerve or nerves that send nerve information from your leg.
