Stacia has damage to her lateral corticospinal tract. What sorts of movements would she have trouble doing?
What will be an ideal response?
The lateral corticospinal tract is a pathway of axons from the primary motor cortex and surrounding areas including the red nucleus to the spinal cord. It controls movements in the peripheral parts of the body like the hands and feet. Stacia is going to have trouble with activities that involve moving her hands and feet such as writing. However, she might compensate by moving her arms and shoulders using her medial corticospinal tract.
