The pons serve as a bridge for the midbrain…

since the last visit, equipment that they use such as braces, walkers, and standers, and any therapy that they receive. A comprehensive physical assessment is essential in identifying the abnormalities in postural, movements, muscular tone, and reflexes in the patient. The physical assessment ought to also evaluate the patient’s oral motor abilities.

Tone is a normal state of balance in bodily tissue such as muscle and skin. In resting muscles, it is a state of partial contraction of a muscle to a pre-set length that serves to maintain posture, organ function, such as digestion, and reflexes.

This formation, in conjunction with…
