A member asked:
Several falls leading to contusions and e.r. visits..also head injuries..what neurological test needs to be done for knees giving out causing injury?

An exam.: An exam is the best first step. Specialized tests can be ordered once we have an idea what the problem might be. An exam would be focused on determining if there is any loss of strength , muscle mass, sensation or change in reflexes.
