This, in fact, does not work. The diagram in the image shows a test used to diagnose De Quervain syndrome, a condition affecting the tendons in the thumb.

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1815418650368868501
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
