The "NEUROLOGIC EXAM VIDEOS AND DESCRIPTIONS: AN ANATOMICAL APPROACH" uses over 250 video demonstrations with narrative descriptions in an online tutorial. It presents the anatomical foundations of the neurologic exam and provides examples of both normal and abnormal conditions as exhibited by patients.

VIDEO SECTION DESCRIPTIONS
(0:00) Light Touch
Light touch is used as a screening test for touch. Both the spinothalamic and DCML systems serve this sensation so it is not specific for either one. Select areas from different dermatomes and peripheral nerves and compare right versus left.

(1:14) Pain – Upper Extremities
Pain is one of the principle sensory modalities of the spinothalamic system. It is important for the patient to be able to identify the sensation as sharp and then compare between dermatomes, distal versus proximal and right versus left for the upper extremities.

(2:30) Pain – Lower Extremities
Same as above, for lower extremities.

(3:32) Temperature
Temperature is the other sensory modality that is used to test the spinothalamic system. Using a tuning fork, which is normally perceived as cool or cold to the touch, compare between dermatomes and right versus left.

(4:24) Vibratory
Vibratory sensation is one of the sensory modalities of the DCML system. By varying the force of vibration and comparing the patient to yourself you can detect any deficits. Compare distal versus proximal and right versus left.

(5:33) Position Sense
Position sense, another DCML sensory modality, is tested by holding the most distal joint of a digit by its sides and moving it slightly up or down. First, demonstrate the test with the patient watching so they understand what is wanted then perform the test with their eyes closed. The patient should be able to detect 1 degree of movement of a finger and 2-3 degrees of movement of a toe.

(6:51) Tactile Movement
Tactile movement as well as the remaining sensory tests are discriminatory sensory tests that examine cortical somatosensory function and require an intact DCML system. Tactile movement tests the patient's ability to detect the direction of a 2-3 cm cutaneous stimulus.

(8:29) Two-Point Discrimination
Two-point discrimination is tested. The smallest and most dense sensory units are located in those areas that have the greatest somatosensory cortical representation. Patient should be able to recognize two-point separation of 2-4 mm on the lips and finger pads, 8-15 mm on the palms and 3-4 cm on the shins.

(9:29) Graphesthesia
Graphesthesia is the ability of the patient to identify characters that are written on the skin. Examiner demonstrates the test by writing single numbers on the palm of the hand while the patient is watching. Patient then closes their eyes and identifies numbers that are written by the examiner.

(10:18) Stereognosis
Stereognosis is the ability to identify objects that are placed in the hand when the eyes are closed. Patient is given common objects and asked to identify them without looking at them. The inability to do this called astereognosis and indicates parietal lobe dysfunction.

(11:34) Double Simultaneous Stimulation
Patient should be able to attend to and identify a tactile stimulus that is applied to both sides of the body at the same time. Double simultaneous stimulation (DSS) is tested by touching homologous parts of the body on one side, the other side or both sides at once with the patient identifying which side or if both sides are touched with their eyes closed. If the patient neglects one side on DSS this indicates dysfunction of the contralateral posterior parietal lobe.

(11:58) Romberg Test
The Romberg test is a test of proprioception, performed by asking the patient to stand, feet together with eyes open, then with eyes closed. Patient with significant proprioceptive loss will be able to stand still with eyes open because vision will compensate for the loss of position sense but will sway or fall with their eyes closed because they are unable to keep their balance.
