74 PASSIVE MOVEMENTS:
Nervus Cutaneus Bxternus.
Sometimes neuralgic pains are felt in this branch of the
lumbar plexus. "We find the nerve about an inch below the
anterior superior spine of the ilium.
Nervus Obturatorius.
In order to afi’ect this nerve, we must flex and somewhat
adduct the thigh. It passes out of the thyroid foramen at its
upper border, and we must try to find it there.
Sensory Nerves on the Foot.
Coming forwards below the external malleolus, we can easily
follow the external saphenous, as it goes about half an inch or
more above the outer edge of the foot.
The other sensory branches on the dorsum of the foot are
derived from the external cutaneous and the terminal of the
anterior tibial, the latter emerging betwen the first and second toes.
We can stimulate these by simply passing quickly with the
back of the nail traversely over the surface.
NERVES OF THE UPPER EXTREMITY.
We can reach all the chords of the brachial plexus either just
above the clavicle at the base of the XDOsterior triangle of the
neck, and make frictions from before backwards, or we may
abduct the arm slightly, and pass our fingers high up into the
axilla, and manipulate them there.
Nervus Circumflexus,
The nerve passes through the quadrilateral space formed by
the two teres muscles with the humerus and the long head of the
triceps muscle, and, diving below the deltoid, it comes round the
neck of the humerus. The arm is slightly abducted. We feel
