A 61-year-old man is found dead in his home after his neighbors became concerned when they did not see him for several days. The man was described as a "recluse" who lived alone and mostly kept to himself. Medical records reveal that he had not seen a physician in over a decade. He had a known history of vascular disease including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. He did not take any medications for these conditions. An autopsy is performed to identify the cause of death. Although it is determined that the patient suffered from a massive cerebrovascular accident as the cause of death, an incidental finding of a tumor arising from the spinal cord meninges is noted. The tumor significantly compresses the left anterolateral lower thoracic spinal cord. The right side of the spinal cord and the posterior spinal cord appear normal. Which of the following would most likely be impaired due to this lesion?
