ODS-7642 Neurologic Examination and Imaging with Laboratory

In this course students will learn the basics of how to perform a neurologic examination and the clinical implications that these tests have in optometric care. As the neurologic examination focuses on the function and dysfunction of the central nervous system, this course will review and apply concepts from the Head and Neck Anatomy and Neuroanatomy courses that students have completed in the first-year semesters. We will focus on five components of neurologic assessment including mental status, cranial nerve examination, sensory assessment, motor function, and cerebellar function.
