Peripheral Nervous System Examination

EXAMINATION OF THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

​

Examination of this complex system is often viewed with trepidation by most students. This is due to a number of reasons and in particular; a clear understanding of the neuroanatomy, the application of clinical skills and the interpretation of findings. In this presentation we take you in a simplified step-by-step approach beginning with a review of the anatomy. Making use of many specially designed images and animations we take you on an anatomical journey from the cerebral cortex, to the spinal tracts, the principal plexii, peripheral nerves their course and distribution until they supply their effector structures.
