- 0:00hello everyone today i am going to cover
- 0:03the very important part of the cns
- 0:05examination as i have already covered
- 0:08higher mental function science of
- 0:10meningeal irritation cranial nerve and
- 0:12motor system examination
- 0:15today i am going to tell you the details
- 0:16of
- 0:17sensory system examination
- 0:20so the sensations are brutally
- 0:22categorized into spatial and the somatic
- 0:25sensation i have already explained this
- 0:28part in the cranial nerve examination so
- 0:31not going into the detail today about
- 0:33the spatial sensation i will cover the
- 0:36somatic sensation today in which touch
- 0:39temperature pain pressure position
- 0:41will be
- 0:42covered somatic sensations are further
- 0:46classified into primary and the
- 0:47secondary sensations in primary
- 0:49sensation further classified into
- 0:52superficial and deep sensations
- 0:54superficial sensation also known as
- 0:56extraceptive in which pain touch and
- 0:59temperature in deep also known as
- 1:02proprioceptive pressure position and
- 1:04vibration comes and secondary also known
- 1:07as cortical sensation in which two point
- 1:09discrimination tactile localization
- 1:11estrogenosis and graphisthesia
- 1:14comes
- 1:18there are mainly two sensory tracts for
- 1:20the somatic sensations
- 1:22one is the spinothalamic tract also
- 1:24known as enterolateral sensory system or
- 1:27enterolateral spinothalamic tract in
- 1:30which anterior
- 1:32spinothalamic tract for the groot touch
- 1:34and lateral for the pain and temperature
- 1:37posterior column and medial lemniscus
- 1:39also known as posterior sensory system
- 1:42for the deep sensation pressure position
- 1:44vibration and also for the light touch
- 1:46and cortical sensations
- 1:49structures which are involved for the
- 1:51sensory perception are from the receptor
- 1:54in the skin mucous membrane as a
- 1:56thermoreceptors
- 1:57and in muscle tendon as a
- 1:59mechanoreceptor then it traveled to the
- 2:01peripheral nerve dorsal root ganglia
- 2:03considered as a first order then in
- 2:06spinal cord as a second order then
- 2:08travel to the brain stem
- 2:10then in thalamic nucleus considered as a
- 2:12third order then in sensory cortex
- 2:15parietal lobe considered as a fourth
- 2:17order neuron
- 2:19now the things which will be required
- 2:21for the sensory system examination tunic
- 2:23fork
- 2:24128 hertz to test tube with the cool and
- 2:28warm water safety pin coin
- 2:31any cuboid or cubist structure
- 2:34and cotton wisp
- 2:37so before starting the sensory system
- 2:40examination we should explain to the
- 2:42child that we are going to touch your
- 2:45body part with the cotton or other
- 2:47things
- 2:48and we should instruct the child child
- 2:51should respond which part of the body
- 2:53right left and
- 2:55exactly which part is touched by the
- 2:58cotton or other things
- 3:00and child should keep the eyes closed
- 3:03all the times
- 3:04and before touching any body part we
- 3:07should show the child that we are going
- 3:09to touch with the cotton or with the pin
- 3:11and
- 3:13assessment should be done from distal
- 3:15body part
- 3:17toward the proximal
- 3:18and also we have to compare the right
- 3:21and left part simultaneously
- 3:25so how to assess the superficial
- 3:27sensation in which first is for light
- 3:30touch we will use the cotton whisk so in
- 3:32this video you can see
- 3:34i am touching the distal body part with
- 3:37the cotton wisp also comparing the right
- 3:39to the left
- 3:41and child should respond which part of
- 3:43the body is touched by the cotton wisp
- 3:45so this is the method for the light
- 3:48touch ideally we should expose the all
- 3:50body parts except genitals so we will be
- 3:54able to know which dermatome is affected
- 3:57as seen in the
- 3:59neuropathy
- 4:01now for the pain sensation we can use
- 4:03the safety pin and we should show the
- 4:05child that we are using the septifin and
- 4:08we will touch both blunt and the sharp
- 4:11end of the safety pin and child should
- 4:14respond
- 4:15which stimuli either sharp or dull
- 4:17stimuli is touched to the witch body
- 4:20part for the pain sensation
- 4:24last superficial sensation is
- 4:25temperature sensation in this video you
- 4:27can see i'm using the test tube which is
- 4:30filled with the warm water up to 40
- 4:32degree centigrade and another with the
- 4:34cool water
- 4:35up to 30 degree centigrade temperature
- 4:38and we should tell the child
- 4:41the sensation either cool or warm
- 4:43whichever is filled when we are touching
- 4:46after superficial sensation we should
- 4:48assess the deep sensation in which for
- 4:50pressure we can use our thumb to praise
- 4:52the body part and child should say which
- 4:55body part is praised by our thumb so in
- 4:58this video you can see i am comparing
- 5:00both right and left and moving from
- 5:02distal to the proximal
- 5:04for the pressure sensations
- 5:09now for the position sensation we will
- 5:11hold the hand and we will move the
- 5:13finger up and down and child should
- 5:15respond either
- 5:17up or down similarly we can perform in
- 5:20the lower legs also by moving the toes
- 5:23so in this image you can see how to
- 5:25perform for the position sensations
- 5:28for position we can perform the rombuck
- 5:32test also
- 5:33i have already explained the details of
- 5:35romberg test in the eighth cranial nerve
- 5:38examination
- 5:39whenever child is having the loss of
- 5:41position sense in the legs
- 5:44having the sensory atexia and when we
- 5:46will tell the child to close the eyes
- 5:49child will not be able to maintain the
- 5:51posture
- 5:52and
- 5:53it is seen in the peripheral neuropathy
- 5:55tabi's dorsal is considered as a
- 5:58rhomboxane positive
- 6:01now for the vibration sensation we
- 6:03should use a 128 hertz tunic fork and in
- 6:07this video you can see
- 6:08i'm striking the tunic fork with our
- 6:11elbow or we can charge the tuning fork
- 6:14striking the thinner aspect of our palm
- 6:17and we should keep the tunic fork
- 6:19over the
- 6:20bony prominence we should start from the
- 6:23digital part of the body move toward the
- 6:25proximally and compare the right and
- 6:27left
- 6:28we should keep over the
- 6:30bony prominence and child should
- 6:33say whenever child is having the feeling
- 6:35of budge sound
- 6:38for the vibration sensations
- 6:40now cortical sensation in which two
- 6:42point discrimination so in this video
- 6:45you can see i'm using the compass we can
- 6:47use a v-shape clip in which the distance
- 6:49between the two blunt point can be
- 6:51adjusted so this is the ability to
- 6:53recognize
- 6:54simultaneously two blunts point
- 6:57so at the fingertip
- 6:59child can
- 7:00feel up to 1 mm distance and at finger
- 7:03tip 2 to 4 mm dorsum of palm 4 to 6 and
- 7:07it palm 8 to 12 mm
- 7:09and a dorsum of hand 20 to 30 and dorsum
- 7:12of wood
- 7:13around up to 40 mm so we can adjust the
- 7:16distance between two plant point to
- 7:19assess the two point discrimination
- 7:22after that for the tactile localization
- 7:25simultaneously we have to touch the
- 7:28two body parts so if the child is able
- 7:31to perceives two stimuli simultaneously
- 7:35we can either touch by the cotton or
- 7:38with the our finger example in this
- 7:40video you can see i'm touching the face
- 7:42and the upper limb simultaneously we can
- 7:45touch the both the limbs simultaneously
- 7:48right and left
- 7:50or we can touch the face or
- 7:52any limb so this is tactile localization
- 7:57now for the sterognosis this is the
- 7:59ability to recognize or identify the
- 8:02object by feeling so in this video you
- 8:04can see i have given the chocolate to
- 8:06the child
- 8:07now i am giving the coin
- 8:09we should give the either pain safety
- 8:12pin
- 8:13or
- 8:14any circular or cube shape structure so
- 8:18child should be able to
- 8:20identify the object its shape is texture
- 8:23everything should be filled by the child
- 8:25it is labeled as a sterognosis
- 8:30now for the graphics these are we will
- 8:32explain to the child to close the eyes
- 8:34and we will draw
- 8:37any number or any letter over the palm
- 8:40and child should recognize the written
- 8:44later on number over the sk this is
- 8:47graphisia
- 8:50so this is all about the sensory system
- 8:52examination
- 8:54in next video i will cover the
- 8:56cerebellar function assessment thank you
- 8:58so much
