Describe the Color Vision test?

Cover each eye while looking at a red pen and check for red desaturation and dullness.

One eye deficits in visual fields indicates what?

Lower Motor Neuron lesions

Where do lesions occur with visual field deficits for both eyes?

Behind the optic chiasm, and is UMN

In Visual Extinction HEMINEGLECT what side to patients not see fingers?

In visual extinction hemineglect, patients do not see fingers on the AFFECTED side which is usually the LEFT side

Visual HEMINEGLECT is usually caused by what and where?

Caused by CONTRALATERAL parietal lesions, neglect is usually more robust in the right hemisphere lesions

Smooth Pursuit and Saccades are associated with what nerves?

CN 3, 4, and 6

Describe the Smooth Pursuit drill

Move a pen horizontally, vertically and then converge in front of the eyes. Then observe the eyes at rest and check for nystagmus, dysconjugate, and diplopia.

What is being tested by the Visual tests?

abnormalities in individual muscles or in cranial nerves from the brainstem to the orbit.

What cause cause positive Visual tests?

Spontaneous nystagmus can indicate metabolic condidtions, drugs, or peripheral or central vestibular dysfunction

What CN controls Mastication?

CN 5 Trigeminal

Weakness of mastication muscles can be due to what?

UMN lesions when synapsing onto CN5 motor nuceli, or in LMN trigeminal motor nuclei

Describe the hearing test for CN8

Place a tuning fork to either ear and check for air conduction sound vs placing the fork on the mastoid process for mechanical sound. The Weber test places the fork at the vertex of the skull at midline

What do individual with normal hearing hear better? If hearing loss is conductive what will they hear better?

Conduction is heard better for normal folks, conductive hearing loss will better hear mechanical bone placement sound.

What is being tested by CN8?

Unilateral hearing loss is invariably caused by peripheral neural or mechanical lesions

What nerves control Articulation?

5, 7, 9, 10, and 12

What should be checked during Articulation tests?

hoarse, slurred, quiet, nasal, low or high speech, and always check if it has CHANGED FROM BASELINE

What is being tested during Articulation

lesions in the motor cortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia, and pathways to the brainstem. UMN

Cn 11 tests what?

SCM and Trapezius.

What is being tested and can cause CN 11 positive sign?

Testing for lesions in the muscles, NM junction, and LMN of CN 11. Contralateral weakness can be caused from unilateral UMN lesions

Describe the tongue protrusion test

Observe tongue at rest in mouth, stick out and move from side to side and force it against cheek.

What is being tested for the tongue?

Fasciculations (quivering), curling, or unilateral movements.



Fasciculations are LMN lesions.


Unilateral tongue weakness are LMN lesions or UMN lesions from the brain stem.

What three sensory Asymmetry tests are being performed?

Pin Prick, Joint Position, and 2 point discrimination

Explain Graphesthesia and Sterognosis

G: Draw a letter or number on the palm or finger



S: Close eyes and identify various object with one hand

What is being tested in G and S?

Somatosensory deficits can be caused by lesions in the PERIPHERAL NERVES


If Primary sensation is intact but G and S are deficient where would lesions be present?

Lesions are present in the contralateral sensory cortex, UMN

Describe the DTR Scale

0 absent relfex


1+ trace reflex


2+ normal


3+ Brisk reflex


4+ Non-sustained clonus


5+ sustained clonus

What is being tested in DTR?

Abnormally increased reflexes (hyperreflexia) is indicative of UMN lesions

Match the muscle for DTR to the spinal root level

Biceps C5/6



BRAD C6



Triceps C7



Patellar L4



Achilles S1

Babinski's sign is associated with what and where?

UMN along the corticospinal tract

Tennis elbow tests should place hands where and cause stress to what muscle if positive?

3rd digit dorsal side and proximal to the wrist. Extensor Digitorum muscle will present if positive

Describe Berg Balance from 9-14

9 Pick up shoe


10 Check blindspot


11 360 turn both ways


12 Alternate stool stepping


13 Tandem stance


14 Single leg standing

What are the scores for Berg balance?

0-20 WC


21-40 AD with walking


41-56 Normal function

What two methods are used to measure peripheral edema?

Digital pressure x 5" for Soft Pitting



Measurement for Non-Pitting

Describe the Edema Scale by depth and time

1+ No shape change, <1/4" disappears IMD



2+ Pitting 1/4-1/2" for 10-15"



3+ Pitting 1/2- 1" for 1-2'



4+ Pitting >1" for 2-5'

Where is the calf girth measurement taken?

At the largest circumference


Where is upper thigh girth taken?

Halfway from the ASIS to the superior patellar border

Where is upper arm girth taken?

Halfway from olecranon to acromion

Where is forearm girth taken, and how is the hand positioned?

Maximum circumference while the elbow is extended and forearm supinated

Where is the chest girth taken?

At the fourth sternocostal joint while subject breaths normally and takes a slight pause for measurement

Where is abdominal girth taken?

Laterally halfway between lowest rib and iliac crest.



Anteriorly halfway from xiphoid to umbilicus

Where is hip girth taken?

Anteriorly at the pubis symphysis



Posteriorly at the largest gluteal circumference

Where does Fibure 8 hand measurement start?

Distal to the Radial styloid process wrapping around the palmar wrist to the 2nd MC head

Where does the Fibure 8 foot measurement start?

Halfway from the Anterior Tib tendon to the LATERAL malleolus moving across the navicular head and around the base of MC 5
