Neurological Examination
A neurological examination is a series of tests conducted by a healthcare professional to assess the functioning of the nervous system. This examination evaluates various aspects, including motor skills, sensory responses, and reflexes. It helps identify any abnormalities or issues related to the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
During the examination, the clinician may check cognitive functions such as memory and speech, as well as coordination and balance. Tools like a reflex hammer or tuning fork may be used to assess responses. The results guide further diagnosis and treatment for neurological conditions.
