Central Nerve Examination

A central nervous system (CNS) examination evaluates the brain and spinal cord's function. It includes assessing mental status, cranial nerve function, motor skills, coordination, sensory perception, reflexes, and gait. The examination helps identify abnormalities like weakness, sensory loss, or cranial nerve deficits, guiding the diagnosis of CNS disorders such as strokes, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease.
