The document provides guidance on performing a neurologic examination, beginning with the mental status exam and covering tests of the cranial nerves and other neurologic functions. It emphasizes that the history guides the focused examination and different pathologies require evaluating specific symptoms, motor or sensory systems. Tests are described to assess functions like orientation, memory, speech, eye movements, facial sensation and expression, hearing, and balance. References to additional resources on neurologic examination techniques are also provided.
11. The history and preliminary observations focus attention on specific symptoms, motor or sensory systems, cranial nerves,or cerebral functions. If the history suggests a spinal lesion, then carefully test each dermatome for a sensory level. If the history suggests a cerebral lesion,emphasize tests for memory, aphasia, apraxia, and agnosia If the history suggests a cerebral lesion,emphasize tests for memory, aphasia, apraxia, and agnosia If the history suggests a cerebral lesion,emphasize tests for memory, aphasia, apraxia, and agnosia The Technique of the Neurologic Examination by William DeMyer Fifth Edition 2004 McGraw Hill Publisher
