Neurologic Examination, University of Toronto


Excellent collection of videos and text describing all aspects of the basic neuro exam.

short audiovisual tutorials that describe cranial, motor, and sensory examination technique. The explanations progress slowly through each procedure and are excellent for students. The continuity of presenter and simulate patient induce a relaxed pedantic experience. The author & narrator is Marika Hohol MD FRCP(C), Staff-Neurologist, St. Michael's Hospital, Assistant Professor of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, and the model is her niece. The videos are accompanied by notes on right side of video screen page for easy reference. ...

PEDIATRIC NEUROLOGIC EXAM

"PEDIATRIC NEUROLOGIC EXAM: A NEURODEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH"

uses over 145 video demonstrations and narrative descriptions in an online tutorial. It presents the neurological examination of the pediatric patient as couched within the context of neurodevelopmental milestones for Newborns, 3 month-olds, 6 month-olds, 12 month-olds, 18 month-olds, and 2-and-a-half year-olds. Use the Table of Contents on the left to access these tutorials.

In assessing the child’s developmental level, the examiner must know the age when key social, motor, and language skills are normally acquired. The normal neurological findings one would expect for a newborn are certainly different than a 2, 6 or 12-month-old infant.

Obtaining developmental milestones is an important reflection of the maturation of the child’s nervous system, and assessing development is an essential part of the pediatric neurological examination. Delay in obtaining developmental milestones and abnormal patterns of development are important indicators of underlying neurological disease.

This "Internet Accessible Tutorial for Medical Neuroscience in the Pediatric Neurologic Examination" is authored by the University of Utah School of Medicine (Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD), and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (Paul D. Larsen, MD).

A companion website to the Pediatric Neurological Examination is the Adult Neurologic Exam: An Anatomical Approach, where the anatomical foundations of the neurologic exam are presented and examples of both normal and abnormal patient conditions are exhibited.

CNS EXAMINATION

NEUROLOGIC EXAM AN ANATOMICAL APPROACH. Clinical Dissection of the Nervous System: An Internet Accessible Tutorial for Medical Neuroscience from the University of Utah School of Medicine (Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD), University of Nebraska Medical Center (Paul D. Larsen, MD), and the FundaciĆ³n Stern, Buenos Aires, Argentina (Alejandro Stern). Interweaves the neurological examination with neuroanatomy. This online tutorial lays the foundation for clinical problem solving by first, establishing the anatomical concept; second, demonstrating the problem solving method; then third, allowing active participation in applying the method. The tutorial combines the use of anatomical diagrams, live patient exam, video patient cases and self-evaluation tools to accomplish its educational goals. It also repurposes clinical video patient cases on streaming video for use in the tutorials as well as being available for use on demand. Anatomy and pathology of the nervous system is understood
