Neorologische Check-Up

Diagnostic tests and procedures are vital tools that help physicians confirm or rule out a neurological disorder or other medical condition.

A neurological examination assesses motor and sensory skills, hearing and speech, vision, coordination, and balance. It may also test mental status, mood, and behavior. The examination uses tools such as a tuning fork, flashlight, reflex hammer, and a tool for examining the eye. The results of the neurological examination and the patient’s history are used to determine a list of possibilities, known as the differential diagnosis, that help determine which additional diagnostic tests and procedures are needed.

Neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the central and peripheral nervous system.

Some of the commonly encountered conditions treated by neurologists include headaches, radiculopathy, neuropathy, stroke, dementia, seizures and epilepsy, Alzheimer’s Disease, Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, Parkinson’s Disease, Tourette’s syndrome, multiple sclerosis, head trauma, sleep disorders, neuromuscular diseases, and various infections and tumors of the nervous system.
