Motor testing in neurology : an historical overview
YORK GK
SEMIN NEUROL , 2002, vol. 22, n° 4, p. 367-374 Doc n°: 109331 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AC1 - ETUDES GENERALES - SYSTEME NERVEUX PERIPHERIQUE Systematic testing of muscle tone, bulk, and strength and analysis of the distribution of abnormal findings is a key element of bedside cerebral localization. A codified neurological examination was developed in the 20th century, but physicians have commented on weakness since antiquity. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans described weakness in patients with head injuries and strokes, explaining it in terms of the pathophysiology of their times. Diagnostic principles of lateralization and localization developed in the Enlightenment, alongside an understanding of the anatomy of the motor system.
