Aani Marma and its Relationship with Saturday Night Palsy: An Anatomical and Clinical Correlation
Abstract: Marma are vital anatomical locations described in Ayurveda, where injury leads to functional disturbance or deformity. Aani marma is a limb marma situated three angula above the elbow and knee joints and is snayu predominant in nature. Damage to this marma produces stiffness, pain, swelling, and impaired limb movements. Saturday night palsy is a compressive neuropathy of the radial nerve caused by prolonged external pressure, classically presenting with wrist drop. This review explores the anatomical and clinical relationship between Aani marma and Saturday night palsy. Literary analysis of Ayurvedic texts and modern neuroanatomy reveals a close correlation between the Aani marma region and the course of the radial nerve.
