...First, it's named after Dr. Homans (as the previous poster mentioned). Secondly, it is no longer proper in medical transcription to use the possessive forms of eponyms. That's why it is now "Alzheimer disease," "Kawasaki disease," "non-Hodgkin lymphoma," etc. The resources where you are finding it with an apostrophe are out of date. If I recall correctly, this new standard is only a few years old. (Why can't they just quit changing this stuff on us?!?!?!)

Biography:
John Homans worked on experimental hypophysectomy with Harvey Williams Cushing (1869-1939) at Johns Hopkins. Homans, Cushing and Samuel James Crowe (1883-1955) in 1910 presented the first evidence of the relationship between the pituitary and the reproductive system. Homans later became interested in peripheral vascular disease.
His wife was Helen Perkins Homans. Their daughter Helen Homans died of pneumonia on November 22, 1916, while serving as a nurse with the Red Cross in France. Homans' three sons all graduated from Harvard.

EXTREMITIES: Strength is 5/5, normal motor strength in lower extremities including proximally and distally. Tone is normal. No cogwheeling. Deep tendon reflexes are equal.

Sensation is decreased on the right, especially on the new foot and hands, as well. Romberg is not even testable because she cannot stand straight with her eyes open much less closed.
