 s/l ("blanchers") are down going bilaterally. hoping someone can help withthe s/l. thank you 
 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. ("blanchers") are down going bilaterally. Coordination is slow but intact from finger to nose, bilaterally. She has no pronator drift; however, her left arm bobs quite a lot on out-stretched hands. 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.

 The dictator spells it out as rugor.  Just making sure it exists.
 Extremities - no CVA or CVP?
 Subject: Extremities - no CVA or CVP?
 
 
 Has anyone ever heard of either of these terms dictated under the "extremities" section of a physical exam?  I can understand "no CVA" in a way because of the patient ever had a stroke then their extremities might be effected (although I would think this would go under the neuro section).  Its the CVP that I'm not getting.  I've checked my abbreviation references and I can't find anything this would refer to. 
 BTW, I left this blank.  The QA department filled the blank with No CVA or CVP.  I'm curious more than anything.  Am I missing something here? extremities
