On bilateral lower extremity exam, she has 5/5 gross motor strength for hip flexors, abductors, extensors, adductors, quadriceps, tibian, extensor hallucis longus, flexor hallucis longus, gastrocsoleus, and hamstrings.

I know "tibian" isn't right, but what is it?

He also goes on to say s/l "comerots"_ are soft and nontender.

tib ant is short for tibialis anterior and the other - possibly compartments are soft and nontender.

Hi all, There is a discrepancy with the proper use of this - can anyone help? Some at my work are saying it should be bilateral lower extremities, whereas others think it is bilateral lower extremity since the "bilateral" implies that it's plural and hence no need to say "lower extremities." I've seen it both ways, but the more that I think about it the more I'm getting myself confused. Any input would be greatly appreciated! ...

I always get confused with flexors and flexures. What is the easiest way to get them correct? This is the instance I am referring to now, but there have been other times where I was confused too.

He dictates 5/5 strength in the right upper extremity and then says "left upper extremity reveals 5/5 strength in all of those groups except his triceps, which is just slightly diminished at 5 minus out of 5 strength." It's not -5/5 strength is it? Thanks. ...
