ABSTRACT
Look for abnormal posture or gait (broad based in cerebellar deficit, ● shuffling in parkinsonism, high stepping in peripheral leg neuropathy, swinging leg in hemiparesis, etc.). Assess the mental state and level of consciousness (Glasgow Coma ● Scale) and, if necessary. Assess speech: ●
dysarthria (oropharyngeal, neurological or muscular pathology), ° dysphonia (respiratory pathology) or ° dysphasia (abnormal speech content due to damage in the brain ° language areas).
