The neurological examination
Includes a full neurological examination, complex relationships, the function of the brain or
individual nerves are examined:
- Motor skills (power, etc., etc. reflexes)
- Tonus and trophic (stress or nutritional status of skin / muscles)
- Mobility (mobility)
- Coordination (fine-tuning of movements)
- Cervical nerve function (e.g., hearing, seeing, balance,)
- Sensitivity (feeling)
- Brain-organic functions (concentration, attention, memory, comprehension,)
It is not unusual that other nerve functions are also examined which, initially have little to do with your initial complaints. The complexity of the brain is why this is necassary.
The exact description of your complaints is the prerequisite for the doctor to diagnose your illness and to avoid unnecessary examinations. It is therefore often helpful if you can plan how to best describe your symptoms before the interview.
It is very important to tell the physician of any suspected drug or food allergies that you may have, as he has to take this into account when prescribing medicines to avoid any adverse drug reactions.
Heart pacemakers or hearing aid devices are also particularly important in in our assessment.
