C6

2 of 25

Weakness of triceps, wrist extension. Hypoereflexia - triceps. Sensory loss - middle finger

C7

3 of 25

Weakness - intrinsic mm of the hand. Hyporeflexia - triceps, finger, reduced sensation - little and ring finger.

C8

T1

5 of 25

Weakness - wrist and MCP joint extension, reduced sensation to thumb, dorsal aspect

Radial nerve

6 of 25

Weakness of finger abduction

Ulnar nerve

7 of 25

Weakness of thumb abduction, unable to do an A-Ok sign

Median nerve

8 of 25

The candidate went on to demonstrate a predominantly proximal pattern of weakness,
albeit quite mild. The reflexes were absent or suppressed. Coordination testing revealed
ataxic movements and the candidate demonstrated that this got worse with eyes close

GBS

9 of 25

The main signs are of symmetrically
reduced tone, areflexia, a varying
degree of glove-and-stocking sensory
disturbance (often mild), and lower
motor neuron weakness. Facial
involvement and ophthalmoplegia
may be present.
Autonomic features occur in

GBS

10 of 25

Normal tone, proximal weakness, normal reflexes, coordination and sensation

Myasthenia gravis

11 of 25

Foot orthosis, mm wasting, high foot arches with high stepping gait and foot drop, glove-stocking sensory loss, reduced vibration and JPS loss.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth

12 of 25

increased tone, possible clonus, flexors weaker than extensors, brisk reflexes, plantars up

UMN weakness

13 of 25

In legs: increased tone, possible clonus, flexors weaker than extensors, brisk reflexes, plantars up

******* paraparesis

14 of 25

Increased tone in rapid movements

spacticity

15 of 25

Hip flexion. Sensation - knee and upper leg.

L2/L3

16 of 25

Knee extension, knee jerk. Sensation - knee and medial lower leg.

L3/L4

17 of 25

Foot dorsiflexion. Sensation - lower leg and foot.

L4/L5

18 of 25

Knee flexion, hip extension. Sensation - outer lower leg, most of foot, lateral foot.

L5/S1

19 of 25

Foot plantar flexion, ankle jerk. Sensation - lateral foot.

S1/S2

20 of 25

Complete ptosis.
• A dilated pupil that is unreactive to direct or consensual light (the
contralateral pupil constricts normally when light is shown in either eye).
• An eye pointing down and out.

3rd nerve - Oculomotor

21 of 25

A complaint of double vision on looking down e.g. descending stairs. A head tilt away from the side of the superior oblique muscle weakness.

4th nerve - Trochlear

22 of 25

A convergent squint. Diplopia with 2 images side by side.

6th nerve - Abducens

23 of 25

Verifies that air conduction is better than bone conduction.

Rinne's test

24 of 25

Pyramidal weakness

Weakness in upper limb extensors, in lower limb flexors
