Neurological assessment

Neurological assessment is a process used by healthcare professionals to evaluate the function of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. This assessment typically involves checking a patient's reflexes, muscle strength, coordination, balance, sensation, and mental status. Doctors may ask questions, observe movements, and conduct tests to identify issues like weakness, sensory loss, or cognitive problems. The goal is to diagnose conditions such as strokes, injuries, or neurological diseases, guiding further treatment or management strategies.
