Why is it necessary to observe someone's gait in a neurological examination of the upper extremity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Completeness: The examination of the neuromuscular system takes into account interrelated systems. For example evaluating weakness upper and lower extremities are necessary. Many disorders affecting upper extremities also affect lowers, even if patient is not aware of the lower extremity involvement
