A neurological assessment chart

A uniform method of assessing patients with neurological disorders is a growing problem. So often patients transfer from one hospital to another and the progress notes which are forwarded are too scant, non-existent, or meaningless because of differing grading systems for assessment. As more knowledge is gained about neurological disorders it has become more apparent that a uniform chart or grading system would be of great value. During the last two years the Neurological Study Group of the Victorian Physiotherapy Postgraduate Society has compiled this neurological assessment chart in an effort to solve the problem.
