CNS: Materializing deficits
Subject: CNS: Materializing deficits
I'm doing an H&P and under CNS, the doctor dictates something that sound like "no materializing deficits." He most commonly uses no focal deficits or no focal neurological deficits if things are as they should be.

She finally got fitted for her s/l motor brace and is learning how to get this on and attached in a reasonable fashion. She is having to try to negotiate both wheelchair and a walker in order to fill all of her needs.
I keep hearing motor axenopathy
Subject: I keep hearing motor axenopathy
which is related to motor neuron disease. What comes up when I do a search is adenopathy but that "x" keeps being used. Could it be one word instead of the two words that I seem to hear?
Thanks.
Motor-sensory question
would this transcribed as Motor-sensory: 5/5 or as a clipped sentence Motor-sensory 5/5.
Under the physical examination
not sure about motor. I keep hearing moni uni. Thanks anyway.

It could be motor unit but he is slurring and this is my first EMG so I better send with blanks. Better safe than sorry.

5/5 sounds like normal motor strength...but sm
Subject: 5/5 sounds like normal motor strength...but sm
...i have no idea about your s/l... "overall motor strength"? there's also an OMA score (or OMAS)=Olerud & Molander Ankle Score but 5/5 power doesn't match that...?? =(

Motor Exam: s/l diminished tone, normal (sm)
Subject: Motor Exam: s/l diminished tone, normal (sm)
no atrophy.
the patient had a stroke and has no residual except for dysarthria. Can a motor exam show diminished tone and still be considered normal?
recruitment = ok. Also, could it be "normal motor unit waveforms"

Is this correct- motor strength is 4+/5-. The more I read the BOS the more confused I am. TIA nm

I found a Bromage scale used for nerve/motor blocks. Maybe that's it.

When patient's have seizure disorder or passing out episodes, etc. most states want physicians to fill out a "Confidential Morbidity Report" (or name similar to that) and send to the DMV letting them know the patient has been diagnosed with condition that can cause loss of control of the vehicle -- did doctor say he counseled patient on not driving until seizures under control for x-amount of months or something like that?
