What is a neurological exam? What do they ask you? What does it check?
During a neurological exam, tests are conducted to identify medical conditions affecting the nervous system. Patients are asked about symptoms & past medical conditions. Vision, hearing, speech, balance, sensation, coordination, reflexes, & the ability to think & remember are also checked.

What does the nerve conduction velocity test measure?
The nerve conduction velocity test can identify nerve damage by measuring how fast an electrical signal moves through a nerve.
