Examinationof the legs

I’d like to assess your walking. Let me see you walk round. Just slowly, walk20 or 30 feet away from me, and turn around and walk back towards me.
Relax your legs while I move them around slowly, now, let me see the strengthin the muscles. Lift your legs up in the air and hold it straight, now, let melook at the other side. Now put the leg down flat onto the examination table,now the other side.
Bend the knee and keep it bent, stop me from straightening it, now, kick theleg straight against me.
Flex you foot up towards your face and stop me from pulling it down. Now pushthe foot away from you to push me away.
Turn the foot so the sole of the foot is facing the other foot and keep itthere.
Now turn the sole of the foot outwards and keep it there. Stop me fromstrengthening the ankle.

I’m going to touch you with a small piece of cotton wool on the leg, shut youreyes and say “yes” when you feel the touch of the cotton wool. I want tocompare the two sides. Tell me if the touch feels the same on the left leg asit does on the right.
Now, I’m going to test the sensation using a pinprick, tell me whether there’sa clear difference between the touch of the pin and the cotton wool.
Can you feel the vibration of the tuning fork when I press it onto the bones inyour ankle.
I’m going to wiggle your big toe up and down, shut your eyes and say “up” whenI move the toe up, “down” when I move the toe down.
