I was reviewing some material when I came across the following text:

"Neither cervical spondylosis at C6-7, nor an EMG that suggested a C8 radiculopathy corroborate[d] each other."

But then someone wrote (about the quote above):

"That does not take into account that a lower cervical radiculopathy can result from injury to the center of the spinal cord, or could be explained for by a post-fixed brachial plexus."

I am confused.
Anyone familiar with this?
Thanks in advance of for your help.
Sincerely,
