Upper Limb Neuro Exam

Learn how to conduct a comprehensive upper limb neurological examination in this 36-minute instructional video. Follow Professor Zach Murphy as he demonstrates the proper techniques on a patient, covering essential components such as wrist and finger extension, abduction, thumb opposition, reflex testing, and sensory assessments. Explore various neurological tests including temperature sensation, light touch, vibration, position sense, stereognosis, and graphesthesia. Understand how to identify signs of stroke, neglect, and cerebellar dysfunction through finger-to-nose tests, rapid alternating movements, and cerebellar drift evaluations. Gain valuable insights into interpreting exam findings and recognizing neurological abnormalities in the upper limb.
