FAQ
How do I use the learning games?
The games under Learn are meant to be played in order, because each one assumes the one before it.
- Dermatomes — click the body region that a spinal level supplies, or name the level for a highlighted region. Landmarks (nipple line = T4, umbilicus = T10, etc.) are the fast path.
- Myotomes — match a movement (elbow flexion, ankle dorsiflexion…) to its primary root levels, and vice versa.
- Brachial plexus — trace roots → trunks → divisions → cords → terminal branches on the diagram. This is the one that finally made the plexus stick for me.
- Lesions — the exam. Given a lesion (a root, a trunk, a cord, or a named nerve), predict the motor and sensory deficits; or, given a presentation, name the lesion.
Scoring
Every game keeps a running score for the session and shows an explanation after each answer, right or wrong. Nothing is stored — refresh and you start over. Speed is not scored on purpose; accuracy first.
Reporting mistakes
If you think a card is wrong, use the Report link at the bottom of the game, or just tell me. Anatomy references disagree on the edges of dermatome maps more than you'd think, and I have tried to stick to the commonly tested consensus (mostly Keegan & Garrett for dermatomes).
