swelling or trophic alternate, middle of the night numbness of hand (median nerve sample),
thumb weak point, loss of competition abduction specific to APB (beware substitution of APL
innervated by way of radial nerve), (+) checks = Phalen's, reverse Phalen's, ULNT & Tinel's
sign, (-) exams = TOS, normal pulses (medial & ulnar arteries do now not skip thru tunnel)
sensation of palm is spared, need to r/o C-backbone hassle, confirm w/CT or MRI

to, balance ft-collectively w/ eyes open-closed x five sec, past-pointing
Cranial Nerve X: - ANS-vagus =S,M swallow, voice, gag reflex :check, swallow & say Ahh,
tongue depressor to elicit gag
