Top tips for Neuro Exam 1 - covering the bases

Описание: Being able to do and interpret a neurological examination is the key to understanding veterinary neurology and contrary to what some may believe – a MRI machine is not the most important piece of kit. Simple equipment including a bright light and tendon hammer, together with your own ability, are the most important tools. In this series of 6 videos, I share my top tips for getting more out of a neurological examination. This video covers the first 2 tips which are getting a good history and laying the groundwork for a complete neurological examination. In the second video I discuss observation of the animal and gait. In the third video I share my approach to cranial nerve examination. How do you assess for proprioceptive deficits? In the fourth video I demonstrate my approach. The final two videos discuss how to localise a spinal or neuromuscular lesion using spinal reflexes, muscle tone and atrophy. #uppermotorneuron #UMN #lowermotorneuron #LMN #neurological_examination #veterinary #neuro_exam #cranial_nerves #Horner #oculomotor #trigeminal #facial #anatomy #parasympathetic #PLR #palpebral #facial_sensation #gag_reflex
