Clinical testing extraocular muscles tutorial

This tutorial explains the clinical testing of extraocular muscles, focusing on the medial and lateral rectus, superior rectus and inferior oblique, and superior oblique and inferior rectus muscles. It details how to isolate each muscle for testing by aligning the vector pull with the gaze of the orbit, using actions like abduction and adduction of the eye. The tutorial also highlights the associated cranial nerves tested during these procedures.

What are the two extraocular muscles that act in the X axis?

How can you clinically test the medial rectus and lateral rectus muscles?

What is the action necessary to isolate the superior rectus muscle from the inferior oblique?

What is the significance of the Z axis in the context of the inferior oblique muscle?

Describe the clinical testing process for the superior oblique and inferior rectus muscles.
