Physical Therapy is for Data Junkies?

On the inaugural episode of Nik’s 3rd year of PT school, she shares the OIAs of 3 muscles that (after all the cadaver labs in year 1) continue to elude her. The deep posterior leg muscles (Tom, Dick, and Harry, or is it Dick, Tom, Harry?!) seem to somehow end up in a game of Twister in her mind. If Post Tib, FHL, and FDL trip you up too, you’re not alone. She also discusses how first year students can deal with perfectionism and why it matters early in your medical and allied health graduate school career. Muscle origins, insertions, innervations, and actions are always part of the journey! Good (and bad) study techniques for newbies are also discussed. So come along and dive deep... into the crural waters behind the tibia and fibula with Nik and her two snoring dogs Vida and Zoe.
