Maddox Rod Quick Reference Guide

The Maddox Rod Quick Reference Guide is a 2-page bedside reference for detecting and measuring latent ocular misalignments (phorias) using Maddox Rod testing. Designed to complement the cover/alternate cover test when subtle misalignments are suspected but not readily apparent. Content Includes: Purpose & Clinical Utility: Explains how the Maddox Rod dissociates binocular viewing to reveal latent phorias versus manifest tropias Equipment & Setup: Red Maddox Rod, penlight, testing distances (6m for distance, 33-40 cm for near) Testing Procedures: Step-by-step instructions for both vertical and horizontal deviation assessment with cylinder orientation guidance Interpretation Tables: Dual-framework interpretation for "Where is the LINE?" vs. "Where is the LIGHT?" questioning approaches Skew Deviation Differentiation: Seated vs. supine comparison method (≥50% decrease in supine suggests utriculocular pathway dysfunction vs. CN IV palsy) Clinical Red Flags: New-onset vertical deviation, comitant vs. noncomitant patterns, and referral indications Documentation Examples: Standard charting formats for various findings Memory Aids: "R in sunRise" for right hyperphoria; "X in eXophoria" for horizontal deviations; cylinder orientation quick reference Clinical Pearl Highlights: Includes teaching notes on the dual interpretation framework and key finding criteria for differentiating skew deviation from trochlear nerve palsy.
