Recently I was looking over some of my drs. notes and came across some numbers I don't understand. If anyone knows what these mean, please let me know! Under the motor section: there was some giveway quality to strength testing but felt to be bilaterally. Under Reflexes: 2/4 for bilateral biceps, triceps, brachioradialis and ankle jerks; not easily elicited at the knees secondary to muscle contraction. Bilaterally downgoing toes (actually my big and little toes point up while the 3 middle toes are contracted down). (And I love the section that says she denies tobacco or alcohol use)! I don't smoke and can't stand the taste of beer (I would rather go to the ocean and take a sip of ocean water and liquor mixed drinks always tasted like cough syrup to me. I always told my parents you would never have to worry about me drinking because I couldn't get it past my tongue. Maybe the alcohol denial is bc I have 6 kids and that might cause some people to drink: I would have had more if I could. Anyway if you understand the numbers, please let me know. Thanks for your help!
