In this video, I explain and demonstrate the FADDIR test of the hip. More specifically, we cover its rationale and interpretation of results.

We've covered test characteristics like sensitivity and specificity before, and we've even covered how you can use those values to make decisions about what results mean about your health. But sensitivity and specificity don't have a...

This video serves as a basic introduction to the temporomandibular joint, AKA the TMJ, and associated terminology.

In this video, we explore the clinical anatomy of the tarsal tunnel in addition to the clinical presentation of tarsal tunnel syndrome.

In this video, I explain and demonstrate Hautant's test, a special test used in the assessment of vertebrobasilar artery insufficiency.

In this video, I explain and demonstrate the Thompson test, a special test used in the diagnosis of an Achilles tendinopathy and/or rupture.

In this video, we explore the test item cluster for subacromial impingement syndrome. Specifically, we will cover the special tests used, their sensitivities and specificities, and likelihood ratios of having the condition.

In this video, we explore the test item cluster for a full-thickness rotator cuff tear. Specifically, we will cover the special tests used, their sensitivities and specificities, and likelihood ratios of having the condition.

In this video, we explore the anatomy of the tensor fascia lata (TFL) muscle by discussing its origin, insertion, and other relevant clinical features.

In this video, we explore the Gerber lift-off test, a special test used in the diagnosis of a subscapularis tear. We also touch on its psychometrics including sensitivity and specificity.

In this video, I explain and demonstrate the median nerve tension test (AKA ULTT-1 or ULTT-A), a test used to diagnose nerve tension/adverse and arrow dynamics and that is also part of the cervical radiculopathy clinical prediction rule.

In this video, we explore the anatomy and physiology of the 4 muscles of mastication (chewing) - temporalis, masseter, and medial and lateral pterygoids. More specifically, we cover their origins, insertions, actions, innervation, and...
