morton’s neuoma
serious condition involving increased pressure, leads to muscle and nerve damage and problems with blood flow

ACL, MCL, Medial meniscus… diagnosed with MRI
drop arm test for?
weakness on external rotation, pain upon abduction of arm…Rotator cuff tear (also Hawkins - kennedy test)
patients arm in shoulder flexion, external rotation, full elbow extension, forearm supination, manual resistance is then applied… test for bicipital tendonitis
