EXTREMITIES: Strength is 5/5, normal motor strength in lower extremities including proximally and distally. Tone is normal. No cogwheeling. Deep tendon reflexes are equal. ("blanchers") are down going bilaterally. Coordination is slow but intact from finger to nose, bilaterally. She has no pronator drift; however, her left arm bobs quite a lot on out-stretched hands. Sensation is decreased on the right, especially on the new foot and hands, as well. Romberg is not even testable because she cannot stand straight with her eyes open much less closed.

A lot of the questions you have been
Subject: A lot of the questions you have been

asking are very, very basic.  You might be getting in over your head if these terms are unfamiliar to you.  Maybe you are just nervous about taking a test and are struggling because of that.  I hope that is the case.  However, it is my opinion that asking for others for help on a test is cheating.  I'm sure you probably didn't think of it this way, otherwise you would not have shared at this point that you are testing.  Iknow you are desperate for help, but the company is testing YOU, not us on the word board.  You have to stand on your own skills when testing.  If you don't pass, then it means you are not ready.  Good luck to you.
