Lower Extremity Neuro Exam

It's a series of tests conducted by a healthcare professional to assess the function of the nerves in your legs and feet. This helps diagnose nerve damage, muscle weakness, or other neurological issues.

You'll typically sit or lie down while the healthcare professional performs tasks like observing, palpation, testing reflexes, sensory testing, and balance and coordination tests.

Early detection and treatment of nerve problems in the legs can prevent complications like muscle weakness, pain, and difficulty walking. This exam helps identify the cause of these issues and guide appropriate treatment.
