The Neurological Examination of the Child

This presentation, the neurological examination of the child, was filmed onlocation at the residential training school for master of science candidates in Melbourne, Australia. A dynamic presentation covering the neurological history, the importance of keen observation and a range of common sense, easily performed techniques of examination that will allow the chiropractor to make an in-depth assessment of the nervous system in children of all ages. The presentation is systematic, simple and augmented with a wide range of clinical slides to demonstrate examples of the variety of clinical problems one may encounter in chiropractic paediatric practice. To be able to accurately examine the child neurologically and appropriately interpret the findings is an essential skill for a chiropractor who sees children.
