To evaluate vegetative functions in many cases, a careful analysis of the patient's complaints and anamnestic information about the function of the genitourinary and rectum, the presence of excessive sweating, mandatory urination, urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction (in men) is sufficient in many cases.
In the study of the autonomic nervous system, it is important to determine its functional state. The principles of research should be based on the clinical-experimental approach, the essence of which is the functional dynamic studies of tone, vegetative reactivity, vegetative support of activity.
A deep (miotatic) reflex is an involuntary contraction of the muscle in response to stimulation of the muscle spindle receptors contained in it, which in turn is due to passive stretching of the muscle. Such stretching in clinical practice is usually achieved by a short, abrupt impact of the neurological malleus over the muscle tendon.
The strength of the muscle is a quantitative measure that expresses the ability of the muscle to contract during counteraction to its external force, including gravity. Clinical research of muscle strength first of all reveals its decrease. A preliminary, tentative evaluation of muscular strength begins with finding out whether the subject can carry out active movements in all joints and whether these movements are carried out in full.
In the clinical practice of a neurologist, the evaluation of cognitive functions includes the study of orientation, attention, memory, counting, speech, writing, reading, praxis, gnosis.
Radiation, or imaging, research methods occupy an important place in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of kidney disease. Their role has especially increased in recent years due to the technical improvement of methods, which significantly increased their resolution and safety.
