Hospital admission report
Context: Ophthalmology. Patient admitted with horizontal binocular diplopia. Eye examination.
Could someone help me figure out what "pdm" could stand for in this sentence, please?
I imagine it's related to a part of the eye or nerves, but I haven't been able to find any suitable acronyms so far.
"Exploraciones realizadas:
MOEs conseravos, no limitaciones ni dolor en ninguna pdm."
So far, I have:
"Well-preserved abducens nerve, no movement limitations or pain in either/any [pdm]."

(cardinal) positions of gaze
Para este tema conviene repasar MOE (musculatura ocular extrínseca) en las distintas PDM (posiciones diagnósticas de mirada).
https://wuolah.com/apuntes/optometria-iv/tema-1-pdf-5477011
Ductions (monocular eye movements) and versions (conjugate eye movements of both eyes) should be checked in the nine cardinal positions of gaze(“look up, look down, look right, look left”)

--------------------------------------------------
MOE might be musculatura ocular extrínseca (Extraocular muscles).
The extraocular muscles are the six muscles that control movement of the eye (Superior rectus, Inferior rectus, Lateral rectus, Medial rectus, Superior oblique and Inferior oblique) and one muscle that controls eyelid elevation (levator palpebrae). The actions of the six muscles responsible for eye movement depend on the position of the eye at the time of muscle contraction.)

| Thanks for those references Helena and for the added explanation of MOE. |
Discussion
En puridad, los acrónimos en castellano no se pluralizan; MOE conservados / MOE conservada (referido respectivamente a "movimientos" o "motilidad") serían ambos correctos.
Normal movement of the eyes in all directions.
