Topic 1. General examinationTopic 1. General examination

• Make it as a game playing to meet the children’s needs

• Carefully observe the child when playing and interacting

• Head shape and circumference• Pay attention to the relative symptoms: n

eurocutaneous stigmata, hepato-splenomegaly-------

2. What from G.E.?2. What from G.E.?

• Consciousness:

sleepy (drowsy, 嗜睡 )

unconsciousness (意识不清) lethargy ( 昏睡) coma (昏迷)

Topic 1. general examination (con.1)

Page 6: Neurological problems & neurological disorder

Topic 1. general examination (con.2)

• Mental condition:

delirium( 谵妄) irritable ( 烦躁) obtuse ( 迟钝) depression( 忧郁)

Topic 1. general examination (con.3)

• Action and reaction:

• IQ:

• Special features:

Neurocutaneous stigmata( 神经皮肤症)

Dysmorphic feature (畸形特点)

Topic 2. The cranial nervesTopic 2. The cranial nerves• Table 32. cranial nerve assessment in infants

Nerve test Ⅰ not tested

Ⅱ blinks to bright light

Ⅲ- assess highlights on pupilsⅥ Ⅴ corneal reflexes

Ⅶ facial asymmetry

Ⅷ startles to sound;

Ⅸ- gag reflexⅩ Ⅺ not tesed

Ⅻ tongue movement

Topic 3. Motor examinationTopic 3. Motor examination• Muscle tone: posture movements• Hypotonic: frog-leg in neonates floppy ( 松软儿)• Spasticity: ( 痉挛)• Rigidity ( 僵直)

Page 10: Neurological problems & neurological disorder

Topic 3. Motor examination(con.1)Topic 3. Motor examination(con.1)

• Power:

Power Observation

0 No power

1 Barely perceptible power

2 Movement with gravity removed

3 Movement just overcomes gravity

4 Movement against gravity and some resistance

5 Normal power

Topic 3. Motor examination(con.2Topic 3. Motor examination(con.2))

• Reflexes

• Mobility( 活动) and gait (步态) :

dystonia (肌张力障碍) athetosis (手足徐动症) chorea (舞蹈病)• Speech

Sensory examinationSensory examination• The most difficult part of neurological exa

mination:

Touch

Pain

Vibration

Temperature

Joint position
