Not at all, just confirmed your findings.
ebell (asker) Jul 25, 2016:
Apologies Barend for not seeing you had already posted a link to the google book
Maja Keizers (X) Jul 25, 2016:
Okay, then.
ebell (asker) Jul 25, 2016:
Please post your answer Maja!
Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 25, 2016:
Well, ebell This means, you can close the question with 'Answer found elswhere.' :-)
Maja Keizers (X) Jul 25, 2016:
Na, never mind. The riddle is solved, that's enough satisfaction for me.
Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 25, 2016:
Maja If you feel like entering your 'second-guess' :-) as a 'second answer', please go ahead.

You have my agree. :-)
Maja Keizers (X) Jul 25, 2016:
Good work, team!!!
Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 25, 2016:

A google book result mentions I and II: Leidraad neurologie / druk 1 / ING - Page 100 - Google Books Result
ebell (asker) Jul 25, 2016:
Agree that Mingazzini is a good suggestion. I did think of this before posting but it didn't google very well with 1 and 2. However, with roman numerals I and II, it googles much better!
Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 25, 2016:
Mingazzini-Barré De proef van Barré is een neurologische test om lichte diffuse paresen, gedeeltelijke verlammingen, als gevolg van letsel in het centrale zenuwstelsel op te sporen. De test is vernoemd naar de Franse neuroloog Jean Alexandre Barré (1880-1967), tevens bekend van het syndroom van Guillain-Barré

You got it, Maja I was thinking of a test as well, but it would not occur to me.
Maja Keizers (X) Jul 25, 2016:
Mingazzini test 1 and 2? Found this for examining paresis. MZ may be short for mingazzini (1 and 2), which is a neurological test. Could this be it?
Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 25, 2016:
No, I remove this far-fetched idea since you say paresis in one leg.
ebell (asker) Jul 25, 2016:
No, just a neurological examination. Patient has paresis in one leg, but examination seems to cover general screening.
Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 25, 2016:
No more context I suppose?

Mingazzini test 1 and 2

Oh, hey, here is an idea: Mingazzini! Just the sort of term that doctors would rather jot down as MZ! And relevant in this context as well, being a test for examining paresis! Two versions: palms up and palms down, I believe. May just be the expansion you are looking for! ;)
Peer comment(s):
agree Barend van Zadelhoff : This must be it, even if a number of questions remain unanswered. MZ2 is for the legs.

Motorische zenuw(cel)

Could it be an abbreviation of Motorische Zenuw or Motorische Zenuwcel.

musculus zygomaticus major/minor???

What part of the body are we looking at? If it is the face, could this be some sort of private abbreviation for musculus zygomaticus major and minor? Like in checking facial nerve function? Not at all sure, just a wild guess on a lazy afternoon...
