Neurological Exam

A neurological exam is a series of tests that a healthcare provider performs to assess how well your nervous system is functioning. It checks your muscle strength, coordination, balance, reflexes, sensation, and mental state. The purpose is to identify any problems with your brain, spinal cord, or nerves that may cause symptoms like weakness, numbness, dizziness, or changes in thinking. The exam involves simple movements, sensory tests, and reflex checks, helping doctors pinpoint issues and determine the appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
