Motor response can be assessed through various techniques and tools:
Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS): A widely-used metric that includes assessment of motor response (M1 to M6). Muscle Strength Testing: Graded on a scale from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates no muscle contraction and 5 indicates normal strength. Reflex Testing: Utilizes tools like a reflex hammer to evaluate involuntary responses. Coordination Tests: Includes tasks like finger-to-nose and heel-to-shin tests. Range of Motion (ROM): Measures the flexibility and movement of joints.
