Functions of the Nervous System
1. Sensory input – gathering information
To monitor changes occurring inside and outside the body (changes = stimuli).
2. Integration –
to process and interpret sensory input and decide if action is needed.
3. Motor output
A response to integrated stimuli.
The response activates muscles or glands.2

Clinical features of Spinal cord disease
Atriad of symptoms (Sensory level,Spastic
weakness & Bowel and bladder problems)
Distal weakness greater than proximal
weakness (UMN signs below the lesion)
Increased tone (spasticity)
Increased reflexes ,Clonus
Extensor plantar response
Absent superficial reflexes
No significant atrophy or fasciculations

Clinical features of Root diseases (Radiculopathies)
Pain is the hallmark of root disease
Weakness, while asymmetric, may be either
proximal or distal, depending on which roots are
involved
O\ E = LMN findings
Atrophy and fasciculations.
Tone is normal or decreased, and hypo- to a-
reflexia if the root carries a reflex.
Sensory loss occurs in a dermatomal
distribution.

Clinical features of Peripheral neuropathies
Weakness leg, arm : distal predominant
Sensory changes : distal predominant
O\E
Distal, often asymmetric weakness with atrophy,
fasciculations
Muscle tone is often decreased. loss of distal
reflexes, Mute responses to plantar stimulation
Sensory loss

Clinical features of Neuromuscularjunction disease
“Fatigability” “Fluctuation” the hallmark of
NMJ
Proximal symmetric weakness
Weakness is often extremely proximal,
involving muscles of the face, eyes
(ptosis), and jaw.
Muscles are normal in size, without
atrophy or fasciculations, with normal tone
and reflexes.
No sensory loss.
positive response to anticholinesterase.

Clinical features of Muscle disease
Proximal symmetric leg & arm weakness
without sensory loss.
O\E
Muscles : normal in size, without atrophy
no fasciculation;
Tone : normal or reduced;
Reflexes : normal or reduced.
