- 0:00hello
- 0:02everyone so after the higher mental
- 0:04function and cranial of examination we
- 0:06have to perform the motor system
- 0:08examination so I'm going to tell you the
- 0:10details of motor system today in this
- 0:14video after the crani of examination we
- 0:17have to perform the motor system
- 0:19examination in which we have to first
- 0:21see the posture of the baby then
- 0:23assessment of the tone and muscle power
- 0:26then we have to observe the spontaneous
- 0:27movements of the body then we have to
- 0:31elicit the Deep tendon and superficial
- 0:34reflexes so in posture we have to see
- 0:37the baby is having the normal body
- 0:39posture or having any abnormal posture
- 0:43so example in full-term baby baby is
- 0:46having the both arms and legs flexed in
- 0:50pre-term baby it's depend on the
- 0:52maturity of the baby and about the
- 0:54posture I have already uploaded one of
- 0:56my video so you can see how the uh baby
- 1:00mature and the posture changes with the
- 1:03maturity in opest lonus posture head and
- 1:07body is AR back it is abnormal posture
- 1:11seen in the cous condition and when baby
- 1:14is having the
- 1:16hypertonia asymmetry in the limb
- 1:18position can be there whenever there is
- 1:20a fracture of clavical humorous braal
- 1:23plexus injury which is very common in
- 1:24the newborn baby it is a birth injury
- 1:28occur and it is commonly associated with
- 1:31the breach
- 1:35delivery whenever there is a full
- 1:38extension of the
- 1:39legs it's may be because of the
- 1:42hypertonia increased muscle tone if baby
- 1:46is having the Frog like appearance in
- 1:48the suine position that means
- 1:52possibility of the hypotonia decrease
- 1:54muscle tone can be
- 1:56there then we have to assess the tone
- 1:59active tone and passive tone both should
- 2:01be
- 2:04assessed for the assessment of tone in
- 2:07active tone exal tone assessment should
- 2:09be done and in passive tone lims Stone
- 2:12assessment should be
- 2:14done maturation of active tone occur in
- 2:17syphil codal direction from bir to 12
- 2:20months example head control comes first
- 2:23at 3 months then baby learn sitting with
- 2:25support at 5 month then baby learn
- 2:27sitting without support at 8 month then
- 2:30ex standing at 9 to 10 month and after
- 2:33that walking is start at around 12 to 15
- 2:36months so maturation of active tone in
- 2:40cphil codal
- 2:42Direction while the maturation of
- 2:44passive tone occur in calic Direction
- 2:48two to head Direction its maturation is
- 2:51start at 28 weeks of gastation age and
- 2:54fully mature in 40 weeks of gastation
- 2:57age basically it correspond to the mile
- 3:00ation of motor pathway so in the uh limb
- 3:03tone limb extensions occur first then
- 3:08flexer tone occur and first occur in the
- 3:11lower limb then in the Upper Limb so in
- 3:15the fullterm baby you will find that
- 3:17baby is is able to maintain the flax
- 3:20posture of all four limb while in the
- 3:22pre-term baby it will be depend on the
- 3:25maturity of the
- 3:26baby for the active tone assessment we
- 3:29have to observe the resting posture a
- 3:31spontaneous movements and also we have
- 3:33to observe the movements in response to
- 3:35given
- 3:36stimulus then for active exal tone
- 3:39assessment we have to perform the
- 3:40horizontal suspension vertical
- 3:42suspension and pull to seat
- 3:45test in horizontal suspension we have to
- 3:47suspend the neonate in the prone
- 3:50position and we have to observe the
- 3:51limbs and head position in relation to
- 3:54trunk normally in the full-term baby
- 3:57back will remain straight head is in the
- 3:59mid line and limbs are
- 4:02flexed in vertical suspension we have to
- 4:04hold the neonate in upright position
- 4:08while keeping our hand under the
- 4:10neonates arm around the chest and
- 4:13normally in the term baby baby will
- 4:15maintain the head in the midline for a
- 4:17short period of time and we will not
- 4:20have the feeling that baby is sleeping
- 4:22through our hands if baby is having the
- 4:24normal tone while in the
- 4:26hypotonia uh sleep feeling in can be
- 4:30there and we cannot be able to hold the
- 4:33baby for a long
- 4:36time in pull to sit test we have to
- 4:40gently pull the neonet toward the
- 4:42sitting position by holding the wrist
- 4:45and in term neonet neonet will be able
- 4:48to lift the head slightly for a fraction
- 4:51of second and able to maintain the head
- 4:55in the
- 4:57midline here in this image you can see
- 4:59all three methods to assist the active
- 5:02Exel tone so horizontal suspension
- 5:05vertical suspension and P toit
- 5:09test then we have to assess the passive
- 5:12tone by the ml ton method in this we
- 5:15have to measure the Angles and we have
- 5:17to perform the sum test details of this
- 5:20method I have already covered in the one
- 5:23of my video in the CNS examination video
- 5:27series in tone assessment
- 5:30so in this we have to assess the angle
- 5:32at hip adductor angle at knee popal
- 5:36angle at ankle dorsy reflection angle a
- 5:39scarf sign arm traction and leg traction
- 5:42basically passive tone indicate the
- 5:45extensibility of a
- 5:49muscle in adductor angle we have to keep
- 5:52our thumb and the finger over the thigh
- 5:54and we have to abduct both the legs here
- 5:58in this image you can see when you feel
- 6:00the resistance then you have to measure
- 6:03the angle between both the leg here and
- 6:07this angle is normally uh 40 to 80° in
- 6:12newborn
- 6:14baby after that we have to measure the
- 6:16popal angle in this image you can see
- 6:19you have to flex the thigh and you have
- 6:22to hold the knee with your one hand and
- 6:26with single finger over the heel you
- 6:28have to extend
- 6:30the knee joint and when you will feel
- 6:33the resistance then you have to measure
- 6:35the
- 6:36angle over the knee area this angle and
- 6:41in term baby this angle is 90° and in
- 6:44pre-term baby this angle is 150° if
- 6:49gastation age is 28 weeks so as the
- 6:53prematurity is
- 6:55more this angle is more and as the baby
- 6:59become
- 7:00mature then angle will decrease details
- 7:03of popal angle I have already explained
- 7:06in one of my video on gestational age
- 7:10assessment now in this video you can see
- 7:13how to measure the popal
- 7:23angle now the dorsy flection angle here
- 7:26in this image you can see we have to
- 7:28gently f Flex the foot towards the leg
- 7:32and we have to measure the angle
- 7:33whenever we feel the resistant between
- 7:36the dorsum of foot and the anterior
- 7:39aspect of the leg and normally this
- 7:41angle is 60 to 70° in the newborn
- 7:46baby now a scarf sign in this image you
- 7:50can see we have to gently pull the
- 7:53neonet arm across the chest when
- 7:56resistance is made then we have to see
- 7:58the position of elbow in relation to the
- 8:00body in fulltime baby you will not be
- 8:03able to cross even the mid line while in
- 8:06the extremely premature baby even the
- 8:08elbow crossing the opposite side of
- 8:10auxiliary
- 8:12line now in this video you can see how
- 8:15to perform the scarf
- 8:20sign then see the position of elbow in
- 8:23relation to the body land
- 8:27mark then we have to perform the arm arm
- 8:29traction here in this image you can see
- 8:31we have to hold the neonet wrist and
- 8:34gently we have to pull the arm to the
- 8:37vertical position and we have to assess
- 8:40the resistance also and see the elbow
- 8:43flexion when the shoulder lift of the
- 8:48surface now the LA Traction in this
- 8:51image you can see we have to hold the
- 8:53ankle of the neonate and gently we have
- 8:56to raise the leg into the vertical
- 8:58position
- 8:59and in this also we have to assess the
- 9:01resistance and knee flexion occur as the
- 9:05buttock Elevate of the
- 9:07surface so by all these uh methods all
- 9:10the Angles and the signs and traction we
- 9:13are assessing the passive tone of the
- 9:16newborn baby this is the AML ton
- 9:21method here in this image you can see
- 9:24these are the three angles we have to
- 9:26measure for the passive limb tone
- 9:28assessment adductor angle popal angle
- 9:31and dorsy flexion
- 9:34angle here in this image you can see we
- 9:37have to perform the scarf sign arm
- 9:40traction and leg traction for the
- 9:42passive limb tone
- 9:44assessment now we have to assess the
- 9:47muscle power in this both active muscle
- 9:50power and resistance against the passive
- 9:53M should be
- 9:56assessed now we have to assess the ACT
- 9:59muscle power when we are performing the
- 10:01passive movement baby will interfere
- 10:04that movements by doing the active
- 10:07movements of the limbs so we can assess
- 10:11the active muscle
- 10:12power now the resistance against passive
- 10:15Movement we have to move the all four
- 10:18limbs in the full range of movements and
- 10:21we have to see the resistance which is
- 10:23feel during the passive movements of the
- 10:25all po
- 10:27lims there are grading from minus to +4
- 10:32for the passive moments so when there is
- 10:34a no resistance we feel complete Lake of
- 10:38resistance is there we label as a floppy
- 10:40baby minus one grading when hardly mild
- 10:45resistance then plus one when moderate
- 10:48resistance then plus two is strong
- 10:51resistance you feel plus three then
- 10:54extremely strong resistant you are not
- 10:57able to move the limbs even slightly
- 11:00then +
- 11:034 Min -1 and + one grading for the
- 11:07resistance against the passive M because
- 11:10of hypotonia plus two is normal and plus
- 11:13three and +4 because of the hypertonia
- 11:17you are not able to move the limbs of
- 11:21the baby and you are feeling the strong
- 11:23resistance because of
- 11:28hypertonia here in this video you can
- 11:30see for the passive muscle power
- 11:32assessment we have to move the both the
- 11:35limbs
- 11:36simultaneously and we have to see the
- 11:38power of the
- 11:54muscles now for the active muscle power
- 11:57we have to give the grading from minus 1
- 11:59to + 3 when no active moments when you
- 12:03are doing the passive Ms of limb and
- 12:05baby is not doing any active moment then
- 12:09minus when active moments present but
- 12:12not able to withheld the resistance then
- 12:16plus one when baby is doing active
- 12:19movements and able to withstand the
- 12:22moderate resistance then plus two when
- 12:25powerful moments are there and difficult
- 12:28to strain is + three here in this video
- 12:33you can see how to assess the active
- 12:34muscle power active M of the baby
- 12:37basically interfere the passive mement
- 12:40we have to assess
- 12:45that then we have to observe the
- 12:48spontaneous movements so intensity of
- 12:51the movements we have to grade if
- 12:54totally absent
- 12:56minus weak + one is strongly present
- 13:00plus two very strong spontaneous
- 13:03movements are present than plus
- 13:07three then we have to perform the Deep
- 13:10tendon reflex and it is graded
- 13:14as from minus1 to +
- 13:174 when there is a no response absent
- 13:20response then
- 13:22minus when response is decreased hardly
- 13:26visible then plus one
- 13:29when there is a Brisk response good
- 13:32contraction is there plus two which is
- 13:35normal DTR response when very brisk
- 13:39response is there it is plus three when
- 13:42exagerated or clonus is there then plus
- 13:454 we
- 13:48label so in the Deep tendon reflex we
- 13:50have to perform the bicep knee cross
- 13:54adductor reflex ankle
- 13:57reflex so in the BP reflex we have to
- 14:00here in this image you can see we have
- 14:02to hold the neonate's arm in flection
- 14:05and examiner Place their thumb on the
- 14:07neonet tendon in the antigal fosa and
- 14:11then you have to strike the your thumb
- 14:14and see the response root value for the
- 14:17bicep is C5 to
- 14:21C6 here in this video you can see for
- 14:23the tricep reflex we have to keep the
- 14:26arm in semiflex position
- 14:29and we have to strike the tricep tendon
- 14:32just above the
- 14:33elbow and in response to this extension
- 14:37of the elbow ACA root value for tricep
- 14:39is C7
- 14:42C8 then we have to perform the knee
- 14:45reflex here examiner is strike the
- 14:48partilla tendon while supporting the
- 14:50neonate's knee in the flex position and
- 14:53N root value for the knee reflex is L4
- 15:03then for the crosed adductor reflex
- 15:06examiner strike the finger which is
- 15:09positioned over the medial aspect of
- 15:11neonet s and root value for cross
- 15:15adductor reflex is L3
- 15:19L4 then lastly we have to perform the
- 15:22ankle reflex here examiner strike their
- 15:25finger which is positioned over the
- 15:28planter aspect of neonates partially
- 15:31dorsiflex put and root value for this is
- 15:35L2
- 15:37L4 then we have to perform The
- 15:39Superficial reflex in which gular tap
- 15:41Coral reflex cuff reflex gig reflex at
- 15:45the time of suction we can
- 15:49assess see in this video how to perform
- 15:52the glab
- 15:56tape see in this video how to perform
- 15:59the coral blink
- 16:03reflex here in this video you can see
- 16:05when we are suctioning the oral cavity
- 16:07and baby will have the gig
- 16:11reflex here in this video you can see
- 16:14how to perform the planter reflex in
- 16:16newborn baby extension and Finning of
- 16:19toes normally
- 16:24present so this is all about the motor
- 16:27system examination in the new born baby
- 16:29thank you so much
