A
neurologic examination is a medical evaluation that checks the nervous system in the body. It involves testing different parts of the body like reflexes, strength, coordination, and senses to look for any abnormalities or potential issues with the brain, spinal cord, or nerves.
Full definition
The stroke scale is a 15 -
item neurologic examination used to evaluate the potential damage of stroke as soon as possible after it occurs.
Performing a
good neurologic examination and being able to neurolocalize appropriately is at the crux of understanding and formulate a differential diagnosis list for the neurologic patient.
The adventure starts with the uncooperative patient, winds its way through the
dreaded neurologic examination interpretation, and ends in the sea of diseases that could be causing the clinical signs.
Following a
complete neurologic examination and general health evaluation as indicated for each patient, advanced diagnostic including an MRI (ideal) or myelogram and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis should be performed.
Therefore it is important to pay attention to the patient's clinical signs, your description of the pet's problem and the results of
our neurologic examination.
Abnormalities may be noted in conjunction with other systems already observed and more finely localized with
the neurologic examination.
Categorically ruling out the presence of such disorders will require a variety of diagnostic steps, including a general physical and
neurologic examination, blood chemistry and urine analyses, x-rays and perhaps magnetic resonance imaging.
A thorough physical and
neurologic examination is performed to localize the problem to a specific part of the nervous system.
A physical and
neurologic examination will be performed.
The minimum data base include physical examination, otoscopic examination and
neurologic examination.
Once it is clear from the radiographs and
neurologic examination that the patient has disk disease, the decision must be made as to whether or not surgery should be pursued.
Step One:
The Neurologic Examination By testing different reflexes, the doctor can localize the area of the spinal cord that is affected.
Once at UC Davis, Mudpie was given physical, lameness and
neurologic examinations.
Consultations include a thorough review of your pet's medical history along with physical and
neurologic examinations.
A physical examination will then be performed on the patient, followed by
a neurologic examination.
In nearly all cases, a full patient history, thorough physical and
neurologic examinations, and a series of tests are needed before we can provide a diagnosis for the patient's condition.
