Excerpt from the Yellonite Tapes ... This is the leg It originates just below the inguinal ligament at the hip and runs interiorly to a point at which it contacts the ground. Therefore it is important in standing, walking, running, and it keeps our balls from dragging on the floor. So it is functionally important for that reason, and you should remember that when you study. Another confusing concept in dealing with the leg. is that it is a paired organ. Now, the size of the leg may vary greatly from one individual to another, but generally most people will have two lower extremities And to find it you simply locate one leg and then go medially, and you should find the other, and here it is! Clinically, this has some significance. To test a patient, if you suspect they only have one lower extremity, have them stand up unaided. They generally tend to fall down a lot, and they always fall to the side with no leg. So remember that side of the fall, side with no leg. This is a very important clinical sign, and I want you to understand this because I am sure you will see it on the next text. One more thing about the leg, which again can be confusing, is its similarity to the upper extremity. A simple way to keep these things straight in your head is to remember: Leg, which begins with an L is the Lower extremity, and the Arm. beginning with an A is Above the waist. So again, that's Leg —Lower extremity; Arm—Above the waist.” Dan Yellon, M.D. Dr. Neal Pratt; Good luck, friend, we miss you. Sept. 12. 1979 2nd week of anatomy. They turned Herrnie face up.
