It is enough to give medical students a nerve-ous breakdown.
Yep, I’m talking about nerves—you know, those complex peripheral
nerves, nerve roots, and plexuses that will give even the
heartiest mind a headache. So then, just think of the Nerve Whiz
app, developed by a University of Michigan neurologist, as the
aspirin to ameliorate your sore brain. This app contains four
basic modules that link rote memorization with clinical
relevance. The nerve and muscle chart provides a list of
important nerves that can be sorted according to muscle, nerve,
roots, action, trunk, or cord. The muscle localizer lets the
user select a muscle that is weak in the patient and
subsequently gives a possible list of localizations. The sensory
localizer performs a similar task for arms and legs. Finally,
the nerve diagrams are useful references that place nerves
within the context of plexuses.
