Nurses use various techniques to assess motor function, including:
1. Observation: Watching the patient perform activities such as walking or moving their limbs. 2. Strength Testing: Assessing the strength of different muscle groups using resistance. 3. Reflex Testing: Checking reflexes to evaluate the integrity of the nervous system. 4. Coordination Tests: Evaluating tasks that require precise movements, such as touching one's nose with eyes closed.
