The Heimlich maneuver is a lifesaving bystander intervention to assist an individual with airway obstruction however, cholesterol embolization syndrome is a rare, but serious potential complication of the Heimlich maneuver. We present the case of the 56-year-old female presenting to the emergency department with acute right foot pain following performance of the Heimlich maneuver who was found to have distal arterial occlusion resulting from cholesterol embolization syndrome. The patient underwent right popliteal artery exploration, right popliteal and tibial thrombectomy, and popliteal patch angioplasty resulting in restoration of blood flow to her right foot.

- Recent studies indicate that while both planning and execution affect endpoint variability in double-step reaching tasks, visual feedback noise significantly influences these movements.
- Twelve subjects were tested on reaching with both dominant and non-dominant arms to targets in 3D space, with results showing that visual feedback led to smaller and more precise movement patterns.
- The dominant arm exhibited a greater reduction in variability due to visual feedback, implying that it utilizes visual information more effectively for controlling reaching movements compared to the non-dominant arm.
