i think 4 as ipsilat corticospinal and contralat spinothalamic. second spinothalamic affects 2 or 3 levels below so lumbar innervation

The history suggests Brown-Sequard syndrome produced by a hemisection of the spinal cord. The clinical presentation is that of ipsilateral weakness and a loss of position and vibration below the lesion, with contralateral loss of pain and temperature.
