I had always wanted quick reference sheets without having to pay for them. I am a broke student after all! Well after two years of hoping and crossing my fingers no luck, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I tried to make them as full of important, pertinent information as possible. I trimmed out all of the fluff and stuck with the main points consisting of: muscles that cross the joint along with their corresponding insertion, action, and innervation; normal ROM values; important ligaments; open/closed pack positions; special tests; etc etc

UPDATE: I realize there are only 3 guides currently. I am still working on the shoulder, wrist, and elbow. If you have any comments or I got something wrong, let me know here.

UPDATE #2: The shoulder and elbow are now finished and ready to be downloaded. See below!

UPDATE #3: The shoulder is NOT finished! I will finish it soon,  promise!

UPDATE #4: The shoulder is IS finished! Yay!!!

So without further adieu here they are:
