v. Extinction (light touch on symmetrical sides concurrently)<br />

6. Motor (strength, coordination, gait)<br />

. Strength<br />

. Shoulder strength (chicken wings) and ROM<br />

i. Arm flexion/extension<br />

ii. Wrist flexion/extension<br />

iii. Finger abduction/flexion/extension<br />

iv. Thumb opposition<br />

v. Hip flexion/extension/abduction/adduction<br />

vi. Knee flexion/extension<br />

vii. Foot dorsiflexion/plantarflexion<br />

viii. Coordination (checking cerebellar, motor, vestibular and proprioception)<br />

ix. Rapid alternating movements - checks cerebellar fxn<br />

1. Arms - pancake flip or pointer to thumb tap<br />

2. Legs - have pt tap their foot against your hand<br />

x. Point to point movements<br />

1. Finger to nose - cerebellar<br />

2. Outstretched arm to finger with eyes closed - cerebellar & vestibular<br />

3. Heel-to-shin - cerebellar and proprioception<br />

xi. Stance<br />

1. Romberg Test - tests proprioception<br />

2. Pronator Drift - significant for upper motor neuron lesion<br />

3. Extend arms, close eyes and tap - strength, proprioception, coordination<br />

a. Overshoots & bounces, but returns to original position = cerebellar<br />

b. Upward drift w/ searching, writhing movements = proprioception<br />

a. Gait - cerebellar, proprioception, motor<br />

. Rising from seated position<br />

i. Walk across room (tandem, toes, heels)<br />
