Reg(SCIN) Most of us go through a medical exam or physical on a routine basis in order to monitor our state of health and help identify problems early. A number of the tests performed during a routine physical test the function of the nervous system. For this weeks forum, think about your routine physical exam and list the tests performed to check the function of your nervous system. After you complete your list, select one diagnostic test and describe it in detail. What parts of the nervous system are being tested? What is the normal result of the test? Hint for this week: If you want to take it up a notch and want to address a specific neurological condition and thus the test that need to be performed for that condition I will encourage you to do that. So think Stroke, what would be some test to do for these folks. For scuba divers, who might surface with neurological decompression sickness injuries, what neurological test might be performed. This might help you have a bit more fun and help you research the topic a bit better as it will be specific to a condition. If you really want to go outside the box, remember the nervous system is also mood and emotions so mental disorders could also be addressed, so what might a psychiatrist do in a session for testing. (just an idea b/c after 3-5 posts we might all be posting the same information and this way those of you that want to do something different have a few options) This can be a tough week so really do your nervous system components in your writing for full credit. Dont forget to back up your arguments with properly cited references
