EXTREMITIES: Strength is 5/5, normal motor strength in lower extremities including proximally and distally. Tone is normal. No cogwheeling. Deep tendon reflexes are equal. ("blanchers") are down going bilaterally. Coordination is slow but intact from finger to nose, bilaterally. She has no pronator drift; however, her left arm bobs quite a lot on out-stretched hands. Sensation is decreased on the right, especially on the new foot and hands, as well. Romberg is not even testable because she cannot stand straight with her eyes open much less closed.
