This is really cool Dr. Schaefer! I love the moves, the mnemonics and the music. You taught in 6 mins what most professors spend 2 hours doing. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thank you, Dr. Schaefer. I first learned this from you in first-year anatomy at MSU. Now I'm a PGY-1 in FM studying for COMLEX Level 3 and am thankful this video is up on RUclips. This dance has stuck with me over the years. Not only has it helped with many exams but also when caring for patients.
I've been struggling to remember/understand the myotomes for months for my upcoming ED primary exam. I was about ready to throw in the towel and accept i'll probably get any myotome question wrong. YOur dance helped me memorise them in less than 20 mins. You are the best
Today my attending told Juniors to go and see the video. I came here straight away! 100% worth it what an awesome way to learn one of the most difficult topic.
I am glad mam literally..... Since last year I was trying to learn this myotome and Dermatomes way hard.... But i am not able too...... Today uh made this so easy that i can't even imagine..... May God give you everything you want ☺.... You are the best 👍💯
This is super creative! I love coming up with creative things to remember class information so I’m glad I came across this while studying my dermatomes and myotomes for my final tomorrow! 😁
I believe you have some incorrect info, as you say L4 does knee extension. To my professional knowledge, L3 activates quads and does knee extension. L4, therefore, activates Tib Ant for dorsiflexion. L5 does big toe extension by Extensor Hallucis Longus.
Thank you for bringing up the fact that myotomes aren't black and white. Although myotomes are often taught as actions innervated by a single spinal level, multiple spinal nerves are often involved. The quads are innervated by the femoral nerve which is derived from L2, L3 and L4, so in reality, all three of those nerves contribute to knee extension. The dorsiflexors of the foot are innervated by the deep fibular nerve, which is derived from L4, L5, S1 and S2. Usually the spinal level that contributes most significantly is described, however this varies from resource to resource. Long story short, it depends on the resource that you are referencing as to the spinal level that is highlighted. I used Netter's.

I teach at a medical school, hence the reason I went with a more physician based resource. My guess is that L4 is highlighted as the knee extension myotome to keep it consistent with the patellar reflex being used to test L4.

You made it super interesting ,
Amazing teaching efforts from your side ..
And, thank you for commenting. I'm glad you liked it!
it first started by a study hour then swept to turn into a dancing hour that I forgot about the video lol
thank you so much
I'm so glad you had fun with it!
Correct me if i am wrong. L3 is knee ext, L4 is ankle Dorsiflexion, L5 is great toe extension.
