Today's class objective is to discuss the nervous system including cranial nerves, reflex testing, the motor system, and sensory system. The document outlines a scale from 0 to 4+ to describe reflex responses, ranging from absent to hyperactive. It also lists the aspects of the sensory system to be covered, including tactile sensation, pain, vibration, and position sense. The document concludes by listing aspects of intellectual functioning to be discussed such as remote memory, recent memory, judgment, and orientation.
neurological assessment
- 5. Cranial nerve Reflex testing Motor system Sensory system Mental status
- 8. Scale 0 - 4+ 0 = absent, 1+ = diminished 2+ = average 3+ = brisk 4+ = hyperactive, clonus.
- 11. 4+; Hyperactive; Often pathologic; may be associated with disease of the cerebral cortex, brain stem, and spinal cord. 3+; Brisker than normal; Not necessarily pathologic. 2+; Normal 1+; Diminished May be normal 0; Absent Pathologic; associated with both upper and lower motor neuron disease or injury.
