Notes on neurological examination
The neurological examination is carried out very meticulously in many times. It helps to detect neurological diseases, the location of the disease in the nervous system. From there, there is a suitable and definitive treatment direction. However, in order for the clinical neurological examination to go smoothly, it is necessary to pay attention to the following issues.

Approach to the assessment of patients with tremor
Tremor has been documented by humans for thousands of years. Tremor is defined as an involuntary movement that is rhythmic (i.e., regularly repeated) and oscillatory (i.e., rotating around a central plane). Tremor can manifest in a myriad of different forms. As a result, the clinical phenomenology is very rich, and it is not surprising that there are many methods of classifying tremor.

Pathologies in which tremor predominates: Holmes's tremor, radiculopathy, Wilson's disease tremors
Tremors are among the most common movement disorders. Diagnosis of these disorders is challenging. Approaching a patient with tremor requires a careful history and neurological examination focused on the clinical phenomenological nuances.

Diseases in which tremor predominates: Intensified physiological tremor, drug-induced tremor, dystonic tremor
This type of action tremor occurs in both hands in virtually all people. The postural and kinematic components of this tremor are generally several Hertz faster in frequency than essential tremor, and the amplitude is generally lower than that of essential tremor, with the important caveat that at the onset of the disease patients with essential tremor have a low amplitude tremor that can be difficult to distinguish from enhanced physiologic tremor.

Conditions in which tremor predominates: Essential tremor
The history and physical examination are used first to determine whether the primary tremor is an action tremor (ie, postural, kinematic, or intention tremor) or a resting tremor. Indeed, the major distinction is between disorders in which action tremor is predominant and those in which resting tremor is predominant, each of which will be presented in turn, starting with the more diverse and more common type. This section discusses the most common disorders and those with distinct clinical features.

CT scan, MRI and other measures to evaluate epilepsy
Epilepsy is a brain disorder that involves repeated seizures. These are sudden, uncontrolled bursts of electrical activity in the brain that cause involuntary movements, changes in attention, or loss of consciousness. Your doctor may use an EEG, CT scan of the brain, MRI of the brain, or a lumbar puncture to diagnose and treat this condition.
