Did you, by chance, memorize the insertions/innervations etc muscle charts (in the appendix section)? I can't seem to get an answer to this or how I should approach it...Anatomy was not my rockstar course and I'm dreading it. Reviewed upper/lower extremities in HY but any input would be great (regarding extremities and anatomy in general, on either COMLEX or USMLE from those who took it or have heard). Thank you

i tried asking in the boards forum, but no luck so far.
There is a book called " Mastering Gross Anatomy Using Mnemonics acronyms and other techniques". It has around 100 pages and totally rocks on Gross Anatomy, especially innervations and muscle groups. Go find that book. I am using it, but too lazy to scan it for you😀. Sorry and good luck with Gross Anat.
100 pages sounds like my kind of book...thanks...but the question still stands, do we need to know all sorts of muscle insertions/innervations (ie charts in savarese appendix B)?
Only had one question on my boards that I would classify as a insertion/innervation question, and it was about the sciatic erve...and only one of the answers made sense. All the rest of the OMM questions were covered in lecture and lab during years I and II at DMU. I don't know where you are, but if your curriculum covers what ours does, you'll do fine on the OMM questions. Do savarese if you want to, but know that you'll know more than the boards will ask.
All you need to know for the COMLEX (at least from Savarese) is on page 104, 105, 113, and possibly 159-161. Know those cold, and you will get >75% of the OMM questions correct.
I have not heard of anyone of my friends (granted that was a small number 🙁) getting any straight insertion type Qs. The pages mentioned by the previous poster are what I would learn...after that you get diminishing returns i.e learn ALL the extra junk for maybe 10-15% more OMM Qs....not worth it when you have all the micro, pharm etc to learn
Good Luck.
Good Luck.
Thank you guys so much. I just shed 100 lbs worth of bricks of my back 😀

Wow!! I just saved this paragraph for future use....
What revision of Savarese are you referring to?
3rd, there hasn't been a new one in 6 years (and probably shouldn't need to be a new one as this material never changes)
viscerosomatics, various innervations, and chapman's points
