INTRODUCTION A neurological examination is a physical examination conducted by a health care provider which is focused on the nervous system. It is a common part of a complete neurological assessment as may be conducted by various physicians, most commonly a neurologist or neurosurgeon. The goal of the examination is to detect any signs or symptoms related to the nervous systems & its functioning. The neurological examination can be conducted by anyone, including primary care providers such as family practitioner & internal medicine, doctors. However, it is most commonly part of a neurological evaluation by a physician specializing in diseases of the nervous system, such as a neurologist or a neurosurgeon.

PARTS OF A TYPICAL NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION To describe Behavioral, Cognitive & Mental Status: the This is a part of the neurological evaluation helps to fundamentals determine the higher functioning of a patient’s brain. It is an of professional assessment of their mental status, or level of alertness & education. consciousness, as well as their higher functions of memory, reasoning, logic & general behavior. While some of this overlaps with a psychological assessment. It is at least in part, a part of the complete neurological examination. Head & Neck Examination Since the brain and the spinal cord are in the head & neck, a general examination of the head and neck for malformations, abnormal anatomy, mass & other findings is often undertaken.

Sensory Examination Finally, the sensory examination part of the neurological examination evaluates the sensation of the patient this includes not just normal touch but also pain & temperature & sensation of limb position and movement.
O.H.P How will you explain the development in engineering?
ASSESSING THE NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEM Begin by asking about the patient’s chief complaint. Then gather details about his current illness, Past illnesses, family history & social history. Also perform a system review. If possible include the patient’s family members or close friends when taking the history. Don’t assume that the patient remembers accurately to collaborate the details with others to get a better picture. Chief Complaints The most common complaints about the neurologic system include headache, dizziness, faintness, confusion, impaired mental status disturbances in balance and gait, changes in loss of consciousness. When documenting the chief complaints, record the information in the patient’s own words. Ask about onset and frequency, what precipitates or

Headache, dizziness or faintness, confusion or impaired mental status, balance & gait disturbances, level of consciousness changes. Current Health History Reveals headache, dizziness, numbness, tingling, seizures, tremors, weakness or paralysis. Detects impairment of memory and concentration. Evaluates speech, comprehension, reading or writing skills. Identifies interference with ADL’s. Special Points Children and Headache Suspect headache in child who bangs or holds his head. In an infant, a shrill cry or bulging fontanels may indicate increased intracranial pressure and headache. In children older than 3 years, headache is the most common symptom of brain tumor. Neurologic changes with aging Note that not all neurologic changes in elderly patients are caused by aging & that certain drugs can also cause changes. Past Health History Previous major illness, recurrent minor illnesses, accidents or injuries, surgical procedures and allergies. Health and dietary habits and drug use.

Abnormal Findings Cheyne-strokes respiration Central neurogenic hyperventilations. Apneustic & Biot’s respirations. Impaired respiration ASSESSING MENTAL STATUS & SPEECH Begins during health history. Gives clue to orientation & memory, guides physical assessment. Assess level of consciousness, appearance, behavior, communication, cognitive function, constructional ability. Level of Consciousness Assessment order can be changed, depending on patient’s state. Tactile stimulus can be used if there is no response. Painful stimuli can be used to assess unconscious patient or patient with markedly decreased level of consciousness who doesn’t respond to other stimuli. Other Methods to Assess Level of Consciousness Squeeze trapezius muscle. Apply supraorbital pressure. Apply mandibular pressure Perform a sternal rub. Apply nail bed pressure. CHECKING MENTAL STATUS To screen patient for disordered thought processes, ask these questions, an incorrect answer to any question may indicate

General Knowledge Can you count backward from Attention and calculation 20 to 1? skill. Noting Trends in Level of Consciousness Compare findings after assessing patient’s level of arousal, with results of previous assessments. Describe patient’s responsiveness objectively. Use clear terms to describe level of consciousness, such as alertness, lethargic, stuporous or comatose. Alerts ! If patient with a skull fracture appears lucid & later has decreased level of consciousness, suspect arterial epidural bleeding. Rapid deterioration of level of consciousness indicates an acute disorder.. Generally decreasing level of consciousness reflects a progressive or degenerative disorder. Toxic encephalopathy, hemorrhage, generalized cortical atrophy (extensive), tumor or intracranial hemorrhage. About Orientation Measures ability of cerebral cortex to receive and accurately interpret sensory stimuli.

Includes orientation to person, place and time. Glasgow Coma Scale Minimize level of consciousness subjectivity. Establishes greater degree of reliability. Describes patient’s baseline mental status. Detects & interprets changes from baseline findings. Evaluate patient’s level of consciousness according to eye opening, verbal and motor responsiveness. Using the Glasgow Coma Scale The Glasgow coma scale describes a patient’s baseline mental status and helps to detect & interpret changes from baseline findings When using the Glasgow coma scale, test the patient’s ability to respond to verbal, motor & sensory stimulation. Grade your findings according to the scale. A score of 15 indicates that the patient is alert can follow simple commands and is oriented to person, place and time. A decreased score in one or more categories may signal an impending neurologic crisis. A score of 7 or less indicates severe neurologic damage. S.No Test Score Patient Response 1.
