Neurological examination form

Fill in the form by marking the findings on each line. The exam text is written as you go, with abnormal findings described and normal ones summarized — review it, then copy it into the medical record or print it.

It follows the small-animal neurological examination in the order it is performed: mental status and behaviour, posture, gait, the twelve cranial nerves, postural reactions, spinal reflexes and sensory evaluation — thirty-one lines in all — and ends with lesion localisation, the DINAMITE V differential categories and the further tests to request. Nothing is sent anywhere: what you type stays in this browser.
