Common peroneal nerve Deep fibular Superficial fibular
Common peroneal = slits off into fibular nerves Sole deep peroneal nerve injury = complete loss of dorsiflexion (i.e. a foot drop) Sole superficial peroneal nerve injury = affect foot eversion and sensation of the lateral leg and dorsal foot
26

Masseter TMJ TP
inferior aspect of the zygoma on the side of the TP
31
Medial Pterygoid TMJ TP
away from the TP ( posterior surface of the ascending ramus of the mandible about 2 cm above the angle of the mandible)
32
Torsion ME positions
lay on axis & rotate opposite Anterior: R on R or L on L = face down Posterior: L on R or R on L = face up | Rotation on axis ## Footnote Forward sacral torsions are patient's torso facing the table Backward sacral torsions are patient’s back on the table
33
Restricted forearm supination and tenderness over the radial head indicates a
Posterior radial head
34
What would indicate the short side
- Sacral base will be lower towards - Innominate rotated **anteriorly** towards - Lumbar **rotated** towards
35
the recommended time before increasing the heel lift is
1-2 weeks
36
is a useful mnemonic to remember facet orientations
BUM = Cervical Posterior Superior medial BUL = Thoracic Posterior Superior lateral BUM = Lumbar Posterior Superior medial
37
Affected nerve → poor latching & occipital condylar compression
hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII)
38
Rib 1 ME
Anterior and middle scalenes ## Footnote Lift head anteriorly against resistance
39
Rib 2 ME
Posterior scalene ## Footnote Lift head anteriorly with 30° of contralateral rotation against resistance
40
Ribs 3-5 ME
Pectoralis minor ## Footnote Bring ipsilateral elbow toward opposite ASIS against resistance
41
Ribs 6-8 ME
Serratus anterior ## Footnote Bring ipsilateral flexed elbow anteriorly (ie, scapular protraction) against resistance
42
Ribs 9-10
Latissimus dorsi ## Footnote Bring ipsilateral upper extremity into adduction against resistance
43
Ribs 11-12
Quadratus lumborum ## Footnote Bring ipsilateral hip superiorly against resistance
44
pain, numbness, and tingling in the UE that worsens w/ activity requiring the arm to go above the head
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome = Adson test (radial pulse ∆)

51
long thoracic nerve is comprised of nerve roots
C5-C7
52
Shoulder pain adduction + internal rotation
posterior dislocation of the shoulder
53
Patrick test
assess disorders of the sacroiliac joint, such as sacroiliitis | FABER test

detect meniscal tears in the knee
55
A child with a radial head subluxation will be holding the arm
in a slightly flexed position at the elbow & pressed up against his body
56
Tx of nursemaid's elbow (radial head subluxation)
full flexion = elbow supination = forearm
57
iliacus muscle tenderpoint
1/3 from ASIS F + ER
58
OA resists left translation
so its SB Left
59
posterior fibular head dysfunction
initial positioning = restrictive barrier (dorsiflexion, eversion, and external rotation) patient's force = ease/dx (plantar flexion, inversion, and internal rotation).
60
the only muscle involved in opening the jaw, and somatic dysfunction
lateral pterygoid muscle
61
Transverse plane Vertical axis
Rotational
62
Sagittal plane Transverse axis

65
# HVLA for cuboid vs cuneiform vs navicular
cuboid = thrust the foot laterally toward the floor cuneiform = thrust the foot straight toward the floor navicular = thrust the foot medially toward the floor
