What is a motor/sensory exam?

The motor/sensory exams are the way neurologists test the various components of the central and peripheral nervous system.

The motor component would include cranial nerves, strength testing bilaterally, coordination (cerebellar function), gait, tone and reflexes. The sensory part of the exam includes light touch, pain (or sharp touch)/temperature, vibratory sense, proprioception (the sense of where your body is in space) and sometimes some more specialized tests like two-point discrimination and stereognosis if you suspect a very subtle deficit.

The exam allows you to narrow down where any deficit may be ('localizes the lesion') and sometimes to uncover subtle findings that the person is able to compensate for in day-to-day activity.

what else do you think......In medical science motor means the effectors or basically the muscular system controlled by the neurons while sensory involves all 5 sense organs. You got to study on neurons and maybe a few on how it travels nd the different parts^_^

hope this helps^_^
