lecture 9 - EOM 2 Flashcards
where do you look to see for a muscle weakness ?
you use the position where the muscle is maximally used
dextroversion means ..
right
laevoversion means..
left
in primary position which muscles are innervated?
all muscles are equally innervated
why is primary position not good for detecting a muscle weakness ?
each muscle only works by a small amount, therefore you would be unable to detect subtle weakness and you wouldn’t be ale to detect which muscle is causing the problem
what are the secondary positions?
direct elevation
direct depression
laevoversion
dextroversion
which muscles are maximally used in direct elevation
right & left:
Superior Rectus and inferior oblique
which muscles are maximally used in direct depression
right and left
inferior rectus and superior oblique
which muscle is maximally sed in laevoversion
right medial rectus
and
left lateral rectus
which muscle is maximally used in dextroversion
right lateral rectus
left medial rectus
if esotropic, which muscle is weak?
lateral rectus
if exotropic which muscle is weak?
medial rectus
what are the tertiary positions?
dextroelevation
dextrodepression
laevoelevation
laevodepression
which muscles are used maximally in dextroelevation
right Superior Rectus
left inferior oblique
which muscles are used maximally in dextrodepression
right inferior rectus and left superior oblique
