    6. The key term “no man's land” opens its definition: Zone II of the finger flexors, where FDS and FDP share a tight sheath and repairs scar easily.
    7. Dr. Synapse explains: “Zone II runs from the A1 pulley to the FDS insertion. Two repaired tendons share a narrow sheath, so scar binds them to each other and to…”

    Made from your OT program’s lectures

    An endless amount of material, with no direction on how to study any of it.

    This deck is built from one of your own occupational therapy lectures, so you start with exactly what your course covers.

    What every card includes

    We build your deck directly from your source material, so you can spend that time actually practicing active recall.

    • The right number of cards for the material, not one per bullet point
    • The right question for each fact, worded so you can’t answer it by recognition
    • The slide it came from on the card, so you know exactly where the information is
    • A dropdown with a further explanation
    • Key terms highlighted, with what each one means and where the word comes from

    Ready for Anki

    Active recall means trying to answer a question from memory before checking the answer, and Anki gives you that practice one question at a time.

    The deck downloads as an .apkg file that Anki imports.

    • Understand the why behind the information: the Story
    • Memorize with active recall: the Anki deck
    • Apply it to real exam questions: the practice exam
