Performing the Neurological Examination - Zoom Recording
Talk by Thomas Cardy BSc BVetMed(Hons) MVetMed PhD DipECVN MRCVS
EBVS & RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Neurology.
Neurology cases are a common presentation for veterinarians in general practice but can frequently seem confusing and frustrating. In many patients it can be challenging to establish a neuroanatomical localisation, making attempts to generate a list of focused differential diagnoses and determine a management plan feel like a lost cause.
The aim of this one-hour lecture is to provide a simple and logical approach to the neurological exam that works within general practice. Participants will learn the skills to determine if a neurological abnormality exists and develop the knowledge and confidence to interpret their findings in order to localise the lesion to a specific anatomic region of the nervous system.
Learning objectives:
- Participants will be able to approach each neurology case in a consistent and logical manner.
- Participants will understand how to perform and interpret findings for each of the 8 steps of the neurological examination.
- Participants will understand how the ‘Five-Finger Rule’ considers elements from the patient signalment, onset, progression, lateralisation and pain of the presenting condition to improve clinical reasoning in neurology cases.
- Participants will review case-based scenarios to practice interpreting neurological examination findings, determine a neuroanatomical localization and construct a focused list of differential diagnoses.
