Neurological examination

A neurological examination is when a doctor looks at the way your brain and nerves are working. They are trying to see if everything is working the way it should be. The doctor will ask you to do different things to see how well your brain and nerves are working. They might ask you to touch your nose with your finger, walk in a straight line or squeeze their hand. They might also use little tools to touch different parts of your body and see how you react. Don't worry, it shouldn't hurt! The doctor is just trying to see if everything is okay.
