Upper Extremity
This condition causes pain, numbness, and tingling into the palm of the hand/digits 1-3, and half of digit 4.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
These structures are involved in a "terrible triad" knee injury.
Medial Meniscus, Medial Collateral Ligament, Anterior Cruciate Ligament
24
This nerve is neither "funny" or a "bone," but it sure does hurt when you hit the elbow just right.
This artery pumps oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body.
Aorta
"Tennis elbow" commonly involves this small muscle in the lateral aspect of the forearm.
The Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis
This muscle is both an over-priced Starbucks drink, AND is commonly known as the origin of the IT Band.
Tensor Fascia Lata
55-85% of cervical rotation occurs at THIS joint.
The atlanto-axial (AA) joint.
Tension or tightness over this nerve can be a major cause of "tension headaches."
C2 - Sub-Occipital Nerve
This muscle is the weakest plantar flexor and the forgotten muscle in the posterior compartment of the lower leg.
The Plantaris
This "capsular pattern" reflects the PROM loss of the shoulder.
External Rotation, Abduction/Elevation, Internal Rotation
Pulses can be felt in these two major arteries of the foot/ankle.
Posterior Tibial Artery and Dorsalis Pedis Artery
During inspiration, the ribs will move in these two directions, mirroring a bucket handle.
Superior and Lateral
Clonus, Hyper-reflexia, and Spasticity are all common symptoms of this kind of nerve injury.
Upper Motor Neuron Injury
The binding of this neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction will cause muscular depolarization and ultimately lead to a muscular contraction.
Acetylcholine
This forearm muscle often used in surgical grafts is absent in roughly 14% of the world population.
The Palmaris Longus
Depending on the degree of hip flexion, this muscle can act as a hip internal rotator or a hip external rotator.
The Piriformis
Sacral flexion or "nutation" occurs at the sacrum during this motion of the lumbar spine.
Extension
This cranial nerve has sensory innervation to the face, and provides motor innervation for the muscles of mastication.
CN V - Trigeminal Nerve V1, V2, V3*
This maneuver is an extremely effective technique in identifying posterior canal BPPV.
When the Finkelstein's/Eichhoff test is POSITIVE, it is usually indicative of this condition.
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis Syndrome
This muscle is commonly referred to as the "key unlocks the knee."
The Popliteus
When performing the "Sharp's Purser" exam, you are assessing the integrity of THIS ligament.
The Cruciform Ligament.
Often referred to as the "transverse ligament."
When entrapped, this sensory nerve causes a condition known as Meralgia Paresthetica.
Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve
This term refers to an inability to perform rapidly alternating muscle movements often due to a cerebellar disorder.
Dysdiadochokinesia
