Comprehensive Neurological Examination
A detailed neurological examination is one of the most important parts of neurological care.
It may assess mental status, speech, cranial nerves, muscle strength, tone, reflexes, sensation, coordination, balance and walking.
The examination helps the neurologist identify where in the nervous system a problem may be occurring and decide which investigations are appropriate.
Rather than ordering every possible test, a focused neurological examination helps guide an individualised diagnostic pathway.
