  1. 1. Learn

    Short lessons with animated demonstrations, in English with Roman Urdu notes.

  2. 2. Practise

    Simulators — drag a goniometer, grade a muscle, find a dermatome — plus quick drills.

  3. 3. Remember

    Spaced-repetition flashcards bring back what you keep missing.

  4. 4. Prove it

    Pass each level test at 80% to unlock the next: Beginner → Expert.

  5. 5. OSCE ready

    Timed stations with examiner checklists — practise with a partner.

The two skills every OSCE starts with.

Measure & test

Find the level, the nerve and the lesion.

Neurological examination

Length, vitals, posture, balance, measures and palpation.

Whole-patient skills

Muscle Length Testing

Test 14 key muscles for length — Thomas, Ely, Ober, SLR, 90/90, calf, adductors, pectorals, lats and neck — with correct stabilisation, normal values and how to tell muscle from joint or nerve.

Surface Anatomy & Palpation

Find 26 key bony landmarks and pulses on the body map — how to palpate each, the spinal level it marks, what lies nearby and why it matters clinically.
