AI Article Synopsis
- Historically, diseases affecting the nervous system could only be diagnosed through neurological symptoms observed in patients, making clinical examinations crucial.
- Modern advancements like imaging and electrophysiology improve diagnostic accuracy but still rely heavily on the neurological examination for precise localization of issues.
- The combination of traditional examination skills and new technology enhances the overall effectiveness of diagnosing neurological conditions.
Article Abstract
For most of human history, diseases preying upon the nervous system could only be identified indirectly through neurological signs-making the neurology clinician's examination the principal diagnostic tool. While advanced imaging and electrophysiology of today's practice provides greater diagnostic precision, the wide array of tools available and their applications emphasizes the accuracy that the neurological examination provides to localization, which in turn enables our technology's precision to effectively and efficiently aid one's diagnosis.
