- Abstract
- (en) [The neurological examination by the general practitioner] The neurological symptomatology is extremely rich and characterized by numerous signs and syndromes. The neurological examination should always be preceded and guided by a careful anamnesis, the relevance of which cannot be sufficiently stressed. A standard clinical neurological examination must be performed systematically and will then be further extended according to the initial observations. Certain elements should be considered an essential part of the routine clinical examination, such as the review of tendon reflexes and plantar reflex, as well as the examination of motor skills, which should include not only strength but also muscle tone and gait. Routine clinical examination should also comprise the following: examination of different sensitivity modes, performance of cerebellar tests, and examination of certain features pertaining to cranial nerves like the movements of the face and eyes.
