Complete Neurological Exams
The human nervous system is an intricate and complex network of fibers woven through the entire body and functions in complicated and often mysterious ways. Sophisticated imaging and laboratory tests do not always provide sufficient information about how the nerves are functioning -- or not functioning, as the case may be.
The neurological examination is a series of simple questions and tests that provide crucial information about the nervous system. It is an inexpensive, noninvasive way to determine what might be wrong. The neurological examination is divided into several components, each focusing on a different part of the nervous system, such as mental status, cranial nerves, motor system, sensory system, the deep tendon reflexes, coordination, the cerebellum and gait. The exam requires skill, patience and intelligence on the part of the physician, and cooperation from the patient.
