Lower Limb Myotomes | Clinical Physio 

L2 hip flexion L3 knee extension L4 ankle dorsiflexion L5 big toe extension S1 plantar flexion S2 knee flexion

This is a much much much simpler and efficient way to test these myotomes than what we were taught at uni!

MSAT student here. This was very helpful to me as I am just beginning. Thanks!

you are detailed in your explanations in ways others lack. unfortunately, my instructors did not teach as thoroughly as you. excellent!

I appreciate you taking the time to explain and demonstrate how these assessments should be done and why. If only you were my tutor.

I love your videos! Please keep them coming!

Thank you! I find your videos and explanations really helpful and clear. Currently taking Physiopedia knee course and seem to get better understanding of some concepts from your videos.

Your videos have been very helpful. Thank you!

This makes understanding much easier

Thank you so much. Made so easy

well-=explained than my teacher. Thank you very much.

Marvellous explanation thankyou you you solve many questions arising about l2 or l3 l5 s1 s2 .

Great. Euxaristo polu Cheers really helpful

Simply best❤

Sir your vedios s r really helpul for ma physio dha examination Thank u sir From kerela

Thank you so much

Thank you very much for the video! You demonstrate and explain everything very clearly. There is only one question I need to ask, because I am a student of physiotherapy and I am going to have a clinical exam very soon. when should we use an isometric resistance test and when - the Oxford 0 - 5 strength test? What you demonstrate in this video, is the isometric resistance test also known as resisted isometrics. This method is attributed to Cyriax, and it measures pain and strength of a muscle group. Thus, four different combinations are possible for the tested muscles, which either can be strong and painless (normal), or strong and painful (minor lesion of a muscle or tendon), or weak and painful (major lesion of a muscle or tendon), or weak and painless (neurological lesion or complete rupture of a muscle or tendon). If you want to assess the muscle´s strength accoring to Oxford 0 - 5 scale, you have to test the muscle in the full ROM. I don´t really understandt, why it is so important to test the muscle within the full range of motion, when we know that a muscle is strongest, when it is 70 - 120%% of its resting length. But our teachers pay very much attention to how students conduct this test. They emphasize always that Oxford 0 - 5 test is not an isometric test, but a test with concentric contraction of the muscle.

Quick and simple, thanks!
