RECTUM & GENITALIA:

Assessment not conducted
BACK & EXTREMITIES: Uneven
weight bearing is evident. Widebased gait is noted. Client cannot
completely stand on his own
because client claims his body,
especially his feet, is still weak.
Posture is erect without exaggerated
curvature of cervical, thoracic and
lumbar spine. Spine is straight.
Client was able to perform full ROM
on his both lower extremities and on
his left upper extremity but with sligh
but with slight difficulty.Upper and
lower extremities are symmetric.

NEUROLOGIC ASSESSMENT
Mental Status/ Cerebral Function:
Client is awake, responsive, alert,
and cooperative, appears to be
relaxed, and maintains eye contact.
Client states nickname Marky

when asked, states Lawaan

Elementary School when asked for
the name of his school and states
Grade 3 when asked for his grade
leve. Client listens and can follow
directions.

scores 15 observed by as follows:
eye
opening
response
is
spontaneous (rated 4); oriented
verbal response (rated 5); obeys
verbal commands (rated 6).
