Women neurological examination

Hi,

i remember when i went to my neurologist i must strip to my underwear and every time i must walk on my heels and toes and then she tickled my feet with reflex hammer. What about women here, did you experience this at your doctor?

Have a nice days!

I'm not a gal, but I did accompany my wife to her yearly neurological visit.. she has a large meningioma, anyway there was no removal of clothing. He did test reflexes, asked a few questions, and that was it.

My wife sees a neurologist at least twice a year. Never had to remove any clothing other than a jacket to get her BP.

I see my neurologist regularly (at minimum once a year, but more if there is a reason to). He or one of his resident fellow doctors does do some neurological testing involving balance and nerve sensitivity. This is done fully clothed. The only time I was ever less than fully clothed was when I had to do a diagnostic spinal tap with another doctor at the neurological clinic or when I was being seen as a patient in the hospital by the neurology team.

Everyone I’ve been to the neurologist or seem my ex girlfriends go. Is always either a gown on or shoes and socks off

It depends on the location of the neurological problem. If it is on the head or face there is no need to remove any clothing. But how can you examine the spine or the legs without removing the clothes? Expecially if you are going to use evoked potentials.
