NEUROLOGIC EXAMINATION
(EXAMINATION OF SENSORY FUNCTION)

0 1 2

Tests of sensory function are concerned with


appreciation of primary or cutaneous sensation and
evaluation of cortical integration of sensory
impulses.

The sensory function is include exteroception


sensation tests (light touch, pain and temperature)
and propioseption sensation tests. (vibration sense
and position sense).

Exteroception sensory examinations.


I

1 Light touch.

The patient sits or lies with hand supinated, and


he/she is asked to close the eyes and is instructed
to answer “yes” when the stimulus is appreciated.

The examiner takes a wisp of cotton and applies it


lightly to the skin, and alternates between the two
sides, examining the homotopic area

The cotton is applied to the skin of the neck


beginning in the C3 dermatome on each side and
passing down the neck to the shoulder and the
lateral aspect of the arm and forearm to the hand.
The fingers are tested individually.

7
The stimulus is then applied up the medial aspect
of the forearm and upper limb to the chest.

Sensation in the lower limb is examined in a similar


fashion with an alternating application of the
cotton down the lateral aspect of the thigh, leg and
foot, and up the medial aspect of the foot, leg and
thigh

2 Pain and temperature sensation tests are


examined in a similar fashion.

Pain sensation is tested with pinwheel or needle.

Temperature sensation is tested with glass tube


filled with hot or iced water

II
Propioception sensory examinations.

1 Position sense.

Position sense is tested by gently moving a


terminal phalanx of toes or fingers

The patient is asked to close the eyes

The examiner grasps the terminal phalanx in the


sides and gently moves it a few degrees in an
upward or downward direction.

The patient is asked to indicate whether the digit is


moved up or down.

Compare the two sides with the similar test.

2 Vibration sense.

The patient is asked to close the eyes

8
The examiner places the base of a tuning fork over
a bony prominence.

The patient is asked to indicate whether the


sensation of vibration is appreciated or not

The similar test is carried out in the other side and


compare the both sides.

base of reflex hammer. The skin is stroked in a diagonal
fashion moving downward lateral to medial toward the
midline.

The sites of stimulation are the above of umbilicus, at the


level of umbilicus and the below of the umbilicus.

Pathological reflexes
All pathological reflexes in the lower extremities produce
extensor plantar response, is a dual response consisting of
extension of the hallux (the first digit of toes) and extension
of the other toes which separate in a fan-like fashion.
Exception for Rossolimo and Mendel Bechterew reflexes, the
results are the contraction of the toes.

Babinski reflex

The application should produce a prompt bilateral reflex closure
of the eyelids. The response is compared on the two sides.

2.2
Sensation over the face and scalp.

The patient is asked to close the eyes and to respond if


touched.

The cotton is applied to the forehead on one side,


followed by application to the forehead in a similar
position on the other side. Then to the cheeks on the
two sides, the to the jaws on the two sides.

In a normal response, the mouth angles have to in symmetrical


position. In an abnormal response, the mouth deviate to the
normal side

2. Upper facial muscles test.

The patient is asked to close the eyes tightly

The examiner attempt to open the lids.

(in a normal patient, it is not possible even when the examiner


uses considerable force)

The patient is asked to move upward of his/her eyebrow.

In a normal response, the wrinkles of forehead are symmetrical


in two side. In an abnormal response, there are not wrinkles of
forehead in abnormal side.

3.2 Taste sensation of the two-third anterior of the


tongue.
There are four forms of taste sensation: sweet (sugar), sour
(vinegar), bitter (quinine) and salty (salt). All these test
substances should be prepared in solution forms.

Prepare one paper which be divided in four area by two cross


line. Write in each area one form of taste sensation

The patient is asked to protrude the tongue and should be hold


during this examination

18
The examiner is gently apply a test substance on the tongue with
a cotton applicator

The Tenth nerve examination is include:

- The changes of the speech


- The contraction of the soft palate
- Dysphagia
The changes of speech
The patient is asked to speak a sentence or some words.

The examiner notice the change of the patient’s speech whether


dysphonia or dysarthria.

Dysphonia is difficulty in phonation due to paralysis of vocal cord.


The voice is hoarse and the volume reduced. Dysarthria is
difficulty in articulation due to vagal paralysis results in weakness
of the soft palate.

Examination of the soft palate


The patient is asked to open the mouth and say “Ah”

The examiner notice the contraction of the soft palate in the both
side and the ovula position.

19
In normal response the soft palate in both side (the arching of
the palate / arcus palatum) elevate symmetrically and the ovula
remain in the midline.

In abnormal response the soft palate does not elevate in affected


side and the ovula is drawn to the opposite side.

Dysphagia

sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles

The strenocleidomastoid examination


The patient is asked to turn the head to one side against
resistance by the examiner’s hand

The examiner palpates the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the


opposite side and felt the contraction of the muscle. This
examination is also performed in other side.

The trapezius examination

The examiner place both hands on the patient’s shoulder


and palpating the trapezius muscle on each side
The patient is asked to elevate the shoulder against the
examiner’s resistance.

LEARNING GUIDE

DEVELOPMENTAL REFLEXES

Introduction

Developmental reflexes are patterned responses that are achieved by certain ages. General
development of the nervous can be assessed by eliciting these reflexes. The abnormalities may be
the continued presence of a reflex that should have system dissipated, absence or poor
manifestation of the expected response or a response that is not symmetric. Primitive reflexes are
stereotypic motor responses to various stimuli that develop before birth and disappear during early
infancy in a predictable pattern.

Those reflexes are palmar grip, plantar grip, gallant, asymmetric tonic neck, suprapubic extensor,
crossed extensor, rossolimo, heel, moro and babinski.

25
Not all reflexes discussed.

0 1 2
GALANT REACTION
1.

Put the baby in prone position

Scratching the skin of the infant’s back from the shoulder


downward 2-3 cm lateral to the spinous processes

If the child is stroked paravertebrally with one finger , its body


curves.

The concavity proceeds toward the direction of the stimulus;


the pelvis is raised.

The corresponding leg and arm are stretched, the opposite


extremities are curved.

This reaction is often also called the spinal reaction.

Disappear at age 4 month

GLABELLA REACTION
2.

Put the baby in supine position

Applied a pressure to the middle of the forehead

The reaction is both eyes will closed.

MORO REACTION
3.

Put the baby in supine position

Lay the child upon one forearm and support its head with the
other hand

Than the hand holding the child’s head is lowered.

The child’s head falls into the opened hand.

The child opens his mouth, the arms are lifted and opened, his
fingers are stretched apart like a fan.

26
Then the mouth is closed again, the arms are bent and joined
together again in front of the child’s body.

Disappear at age 6 month

ASYMMETRIC TONIC NECK REACTION


4.

Put the baby in supine position

Rotation of the infant’s head to one side for 15 seconds

If the child’s head is turned to one side , the extremities of the’


facial side’ are stretched, and the extremities of the ‘occipital
side’ are bent.

This is the so called “ fencer’s position”.

Disappear at age 3 month

PALMAR GRASP REACTION


5.

Put the baby in supine position

Placing the index finger in the palm of the infant

The reaction is flexion of fingers, fist making

As long as the stimulus remains, the hand may remain closed.

Disappear at age 6 month

PLANTAR GRASP REACTION


6.

Put the baby in supine position

Pressing a thumb against the sole just behind the toes

The reaction is flexion of toes

When the contact is removed, the toes spread apart

Disappear at age 15 month

PARACHUTE REACTION
7.

27
The examiner’s holds the infant with both hands around the
waist at the trunk and lowers its head relatively fast to the
surface below.

Before the head reaches the surface the arms are extended

( optical readiness to jump), and later the transfer of body


weight to the arms occurs.

Appear at 9 month old

8. Crossed Extensor

Put the baby in supine position

Passive total flexion of one lower extremity

Extension of the other lower limb, with adduction and internal


rotation into talipes equines

Disappear at age 6 weeks

TOPIC : BASIC HEARING EXAMINATION

BASIC HEARING EXAMINATION, VESTIBULAR EVALUATION AND AUDIOGRAM INTERPRERTATION

NEUROBEHAVIOR AND SPECIAL SENSES (NBSS) SYSTEM

Introduction

Hearing loss and vestibular disorders can occur at any age, ranging from infancy to old age. They
affect the quality of life. Basic hearing examinations such as the tuning fork test and voice test, also
the Romberg and gait test are easily practiced even in remote areas and very useful to detect
hearing loss and vestibular disorders. Although not precise but may help in giving a rough guide
about the patients condition.
Usage of an audiology device needs special training and practice, though students still can learn the
basic audiogram interpretation.
This learning guide includes:
• Tuning fork test.
• Voice test.
• Pure Tone Audiogram interpretation.
• Gait test.
• Romberg test.

Knowledge

After following the exercise, the students should be able to describe:

• Anatomy and physiology of the ear.


• Mechanism of hearing, describing the conduction and sensorineural component.
• Basic hearing examination using the tuning fork and voice test.
• Basic pure tone audiogram interpretation.
• Basic vestibular examination through gait and romberg test.

Skills

• Tuning fork examination.


• Voice test examination.
• Interpret the result of pure tone audiometry.
• Gait test.
• Romberg test.

56
Method

a. Presentation.
b. Demonstration.
c. Exercise.
d. Independent exercise in standardized patient.

Evaluation

Equipment

- Presentation: audiovisual.
- Demonstration and exercise: tuning fork and audiogram chart.

Communication skills

Students should be able to communicate to explain the examination procedure to assure the
patients cooperativeness during examination.

Management skills

Students should be able to develop an appropriate evaluation report from each examination with
each ears described separately, because this report will have an effect on further decision making
for this patient.

Attitudes and Professional behavior:

Students should be able to:

• Appreciate patients preferences such as receiving an explanation on his/her condition.


• Make an appropriate referral to an otorhinolaryngologist for further management in complicated
cases.

57
Basic hearing examination procedure: tuning fork and voice test

TUNING FORK TEST

• To differentiate conductive or sensorineural hearing loss.


• Tuning forked used are the 512 Hz or 256 Hz.
• Among other tuning fork tests, the Rinne and Weber’s tuning fork test are the mostly used.
▪ Rinne test :
- Hold the tuning fork with one hand.
- Vibrate and place it on the mastoid bone on one side until the patient can not hear the
sound.
- Move it in front of the external ear (external auditory canal) and ask the patient whether
he/she still can hear the sound.
- Perform the same procedure on the opposite site.

Rinne test

Rinne Test Interpretation:

• Rinne positive: patient still can hear sound when the tuning fork is placed in front of the external auditory canal.
• Rinne negative: patient can not hear sound when the tuning fork is placed in front of the external auditory auditory canal.

58
▪ Weber Test:
- Hold the tuning fork with one hand.

- Vibrate the tuning fork.

- Place it in the center of the forehead.

- Ask the patient to indicate that he/she can hear the sound louder at the right side or the
left side or he/she can hear the same loudness on both ears.

VOICE TEST

This picture shows a voice test being


performed, the examiner in the left of

1 mtr→ the picture while the patient on the


right with the distance only one meter
from

one another. Note that one of the ears


of the patient is being masked by a

Barany noise box device.

Principles:

▪ A basic examination to roughly predict a level of hearing loss.


▪ Hearing examination is performed with the distance between the examiner and the patient just
1 (one) meter apart, done in a sound-proof room. With the patient sitting sideways in front of
the examiner, so that the tested ear will face the examiner. This position is to prevent lip
movement reading by the patient, because most deaf patients are experts at reading lip
movements.
▪ Each ear is examined one at a time, the untested ear is given a masking voice such as produced
by a barany noise box device, otherwise a noisy ticking wrist watch will suffice. Just place the
wrist watch by pressing against the non-test ear.
▪ Masking on the non test ear is crucial to prevent cross hearing.

61
Picture of various types of tuning forks and a Barany Noise Box

Hearing Interpretation:

• Normal ( 0-25 dB): Hears whisper.


• Mild hearing loss (26-40 dB): Able to hear and repeat words produced with a loudness of a
normal communication voice.
• Moderate hearing loss (41-60 dB): Able to hear and repeat words produced with a loud
voice.
• Severe hearing loss (61-80 dB): Able to hear and repeat words shouted near the ear.
• Profound hearing loss (> 80 dB): Not able to hear and repeat words shouted near the ear.

AUDIOMETRY

- Is a hearing assessment using pure tone audiometer with test results written into a graphic that
is named an audiogram.
- Written in the audiogram are two hearing components: the air conduction and bone
conduction, both written with specific symbols to differentiate each component and in different
colours to specifiy right from left ear.
- Symbols used in an audiogram:
▪ Results for the left ear is written in blue and right ear in red.
▪ Non masking symbols for air conduction
o “X” for left ear
o “O” for right ear
▪ Non masking symbols for bone conduction
o “<” for right ear
o “>” for left ear

62
- Interpretation of audiogram.
▪ Hearing depends on the integrity of the air conduction component, the level of hearing will
be measured from this component.
▪ Level of hearing for each air conduction components: counted by the adding each decibel-
results on each communication freq as at 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz, finally the total sum
is divided in 4, the result will be the mean-level of hearing for each air conduction
component.
▪ Compare the equation result with the hearing loss chart, define the patients level of hearing
loss of each ear.
▪ Define the type of hearing loss; conductive, sensorineural, or mixed (will be discussed
below).
▪ Lastly, write the interpretation, that consists of the degree of hearing followed by the type of
hearing loss, example: moderate sensorineural hearing loss, severe mixed hearing loss, etc.

This audiogram is written only the symbols of the air conduction,

note how the symbols differentiate left from right ear

Types of Hearing Loss

1. Conductive hearing Loss


Principles of interpretation:

• BC tresholds within normal limit.


• AC tresholds beyond the normal hearing range (greater than 25 dB).

63
2. Sensorineural hearing loss
Principles of interpretation:

▪ Both BC and AC are not within the normal hearing range (> 25 dB).
▪ Gap between the BC and AC < or = 10 dB, or both components are in one line.

3. Mixed Hearing Loss


Principles of interpretation:

▪ Both BC and AC components are not within the normal hearing range.
▪ Air-bone gap between both components more than 10 dB.

VESTIBULAR EXAMINATION

Vestibular disorders can exist as a complication of the ear disease. It influences the coordination system.

Romberg Test

1. Patient stands forward with the feet in a line, the heels and toes are touching. Both hands in a cross position on the chest.
2. The examiner’s stands at the side of the patient to watch if the patient falls in this test.
3. The patient is asked to close the eyes and the examiner notice the direction of the fall of the
patient.
4. Normal response is the patient should be able to maintain posture without movement of the
feet.

The Tandem Gait Test

1. The patient is asked to walk toward the examiner with one foot placed in front of the other
and the heel touching the toes at each step.
2. Normal response is the patient moves without any unsteadiness or sudden lateral placement
of one foot to maintain balance.

2 Politely ask patient identification: name, age, education,


occupation, and address.

3 Ask the patient which ear has the hearing difficulty and whether
he/she has vestibular complains.

4 Wash your hands first with antiseptic soap and dry it with paper
tissues or towel, wear the mask and hand gloves.

5 With a headlight examine each outer ear canal to make sure no


cerumen, otherwise it will effect the hearing examination result.
This is done by holding the ear: the middle finger and the thumb
gently pulls the pinna outwards-upwards and the index finger
pushes the tragus forward, this is to straighten the outer ear canal
to assure the examiners view is not blocked by the canal curve.

6 Give a brief and adequate explanation about the examination.

Voice test
16 Hearing examination is performed with the distance between the
examiner and the patient just 1 (one) meter apart, done in a
sound-proof room. With the patient sitting sideways in front of the
examiner, so that the tested ear will face the examiner.

17 Each ear is examined one at a time, the untested ear is given a


masking voice such as produced by a barany noise box device,
otherwise a noisy ticking wrist watch will suffice. Just place the
wrist watch by pressing against the non-test ear to prevent cross-
hearing.

18 Patient been told to repeat the word which whispered or said by


the examiner. The examiner uses different voice loudness to
examine the patients hearing, starting with the whispering voice
and then raised in loudness until the patients responds, the
hearing level is based on the patients respond to examiner voice.

19 Decide the hearing intensity.

Normal, mild, moderate, severe or profound hearing loss.

20 Adjust the patients sitting position to examine the other ear in the
same manner.

Audiogram interpretation
21 Start by paying attention to the audiogram chart, define which
chart represents the right and left ear.
22 Decide the degree of hearing loss for each ear.
Start by counting the air conduction by adding the decibles
reached in each conversation frequency, the sum is divided by
4. Begin with the air conduction component pay attention on
each 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz frequency column, note
the results of decibels marked on each column and add all the
decibel results.

Degree of Hearing Loss

68
0 to 25 dBHL → within normal limits

26 to 40 dBHL → mild loss

41 to 60 dBHL → moderate loss

61 to 80 dBHL → severe loss

More 80 dBHL → very severe loss (profound loss)

23 Observe the distance between the bone and air conduction

24 Define the type of hearing loss in each ear separately.


Type of hearing loss

• Both component less than 25 dB or in normal area: normal


hearing
• Both components sum greater than 25 dB and air bone gap <
10 dB: sensorineural hearing loss.
• Bone conduction less than 25, while air conduction greater
than 25 dB and air bone gap >10 dB: Conductive hearing loss.
• Both components greater than 25 dB and air bone gap > 10 dB
with: mixed type hearing loss.
25 Make a report of the examination result, each examination
describes the left and right ear separately to aid for further
examination.

Romberg Test

26 Patient stands forward with the feet in a line, the heels and toes are touching. Both hands in a
cross position on the chest.

27 The examiner’s stands at the side of the patient to watch if the patient falls in this test.

TOPIC : EXTERNAL EYE EXAMINATION AND DIRECT FUNDUSCOPY

Eye Examination Learning Guide

Procedure

Distance Visual Acuity Testing

1. Place the patient at the designated distance, usually 6 metres, from


a well-illuminated Snellen chart. If glasses are normally worn for
distance vision, take it off, to measure uncorrected visual acuity.

2. By convention, the right eye is tested and recorded first.


Completely occlude the left eye using the palm of your hand or an
opaque occluder.
(Be sure that your palm is not pressing, nor the occluder is not
touching against the eye. Observe the patient during the test to
make sure there is no concious or inadvertent peeking.)

3. Start with the largest optotypes available on the chart. Ask the
patient to say aloud each letter or number, or name the picture
object on the lines of succesively smaller optotypes, from left to
right or, alternatively, as you point to each character in any order,
until the patient correctly identifies at least one half of the
optotypes on a line.

Note: the corresponding acuity measurement shown at that line of the


chart. Record the acuity value for each eye separately, as illustrated below.
Record the acuity measurement as a notation (e.g. 6/6) in which the
numerator represents the distance at which the test is performed and the
denominator represents the numeric designation for the line read. If the
patient misses half or fewer than half the letters on the smallest readable
line, record how many letters were missed; for example, 6/12-². If the
patient misses more than half the letters on the smallest readable line,
record how many letters could be read, and tag it to the previous larger
line; for example, 6/12⁺². If acuity is worse than 6/6, recheck with a
pinhole.

76
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the left eye, with the right eye
covered.

If the patient cannot see the largest Snellen letters, proceed as follows:

1. Display two or more fingers of one hand and ask the patient to
count the number of fingers displayed.
Start at a distance of 1 meter, and step back further every 1 meter.

Record the longest distance at which counting is done accurately;


for example, 2/60 means that patient could count the number of
fingers for as far as 2 meter.

(the procedure is done if the patient is unable to resolve the largest


optotypes on the chart from a distance of 6 meter)

If the patient cannot count fingers at a distance of 1


meter:

2. Display a hand movement as gentle waving motion in vertical and


horizontal direction.
Determine whether or not he or she can detect the movement and
mention the direction of your hand's motion.

Record the response as hand motion (HM) or 1/300.

No record of distance is required.

If the patient cannot detect your hand motion:

3. Shine a torchlight toward the patient's eye from approximately 30-


40 cm and turn it on and off (or move aside) to determine if light
perception is present.
- Record the response as LP (light perception) if the patient can
see the light,
No record of distance is required.

- Record the response as NLP (no light perception) if the patient


cannot see even the brightest light.

4. If light is perceived from straight ahead,


Move the light sequentially into each of the four quadrants of the
visual field (i.e. above, below, left, right).

77
Turn the torchlight on and off in each field, and ask if the patient
can see the light.

5. If the patient correctly identifies the direction from which the light
is coming, record the response as LP with projection. Specify the
quadrant(s) in which light projection is present.
6. If the patient is unable to identify any direction but is able to
discern light in the straight-ahead position, record the response as
LP without projection.

Pinhole Visual Acuity Testing

1. Position the patient and occlude the eye not being tested, as done
for the distance acuity test

2. Place the pinhole in front of the eye that is to be tested, and


instruct the patient to look at the distance chart through the
pinhole

3. Ask the patient to begin to read the line with the smallest letter
that are legible as determined on the previous vision test without
the use of the pinhole

4. Record the Snellen acuity obtained and procede or follow it with


the abbreviation 'PH'; for example 6/12 PH 6/6

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the left eye
