An understanding of the CN’s function and potential reasons for impairment is likely to increase the frequency of CN testing in orthopedic clinical practice and referral if positive findings are encountered. Nerve conduction study This test can locate the exact area of the pain.
Conclusion: This paper illustrates that CN testing can be performed quickly, efficiently and without the need for complicated or potentially unavailable equipment. Cervical (upper) spine, where symptoms present in the neck, upper back. EMG and NCV tests are safe procedures that pose little risk of serious. Results: A summary of cranial nerve examination is provided, which is based on the function of the nerves, This is intended to facilitate clinicians to feel more confident at understanding neural function/impairment, as well as performing and interpreting the examination. An NCV test is another type of electrodiagnostic test that doctors can use to identify damaged or impaired nerves. Methods: This paper summarizes the functions, potential impairments of the nerves, associated conditions, and basic skills involved in cranial nerve examination. They should be able to examine and determine if CN dysfunction is present, and make appropriate clinical decisions based upon those findings. With physiotherapists currently positioning themselves as advanced first line practitioners, it is essential that those who treat patients who present with neck/head/orofacial pain and associated symptoms, should have an index of suspicion of cranial nerve (CN) dysfunction. Background: Neurological examination in musculoskeletal practice is a key element of safe and appropriate orthopedic clinical practice.
