Video Program I
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
SCREENING EXAM
(Running time approximately 60 minutes)

DESCRIPTION:

This full hour long instructional video program demonstrates how to perform a  screening examination of the Central Nervous System (CNS) to rule out presumptive CNS lesions.
 
This interactive teaching video covers how to screen for:
  1. Mental Status
  2. Cognition
  3. Evaluate the Cerebral Cortex
  4. Perform Cerebellar function tests (gait, coordination, equilibrium)
  5. Cerebellar Signs
  6. Exam the Cranial Nerves (C.N.'s)
  7. Functional screen of the ascending (sensory) and descending (motor) spinal cord tracts
  8. Evaluate for Upper Motor Neuron Lesions
  9. Charting & Documentation
  10. As a bonus, Dr. Conwell demonstrates, in the clinical setting, how to perform a C.N. exam in just “75” seconds
 
This video program features clear, step-by-step demonstrations, in the clinical setting, of examination procedures specifically designed to develop the required clinical skills necessary to evaluate patients with presumptive CNS lesions confidently. This video program will be a valuable aid in assisting clinicians who are looking for a clear and concise vehicle to review and upgrade their CNS exam procedures.
 
Health care students, regardless of their field of study, have found this video to be an indispensable tool when studying for board examinations.
