A
  • Superior and Inferior Rectus

44
Q

What is unique about the testing of the eye muscles with multiaxis functionality?

A
  • To test them you ask the patient to move the eye in a direction OPPOSITE to AB/ADducting part of the ACTION of the muscle
45
Q

Why must you get the patient to look in the in in the direction opposite to the direction of the abducting or adducting action of the multiaxis muscle you are testing?

A
  • So that you can isolate the movement specific to that muscle

For example, Medial Rectus and Superoir Rectus both adduct but Superior Rectus is the ONLY muscle that can lift the eye to the right and upward so testing requires isolating that movement
