Title: Motor Exam: Normal Exam: Upper Extremities - Testing for Pronator Drift
Description: The patient extends their arms in front of them with the palms up and eyes closed. The examiner watches for any pronation and downward drift of either arm. If there is pronator drift this indicates corticospinal tract disease. NeuroLogic Exam has been supported by a grant from the Slice of Life Development Fund at the University of Utah, the Department of Pediatrics and the Office of Education at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Viewing the video requires installation of the free QuickTime Plug-in.

Context Description: The first principle of neurologic diagnosis is regional or anatomical localization. In order to become skillful the student must understand how structure relates to function of the nervous system. The neurologic examination permits "dissection" of the nervous system and localizes the disease when present. Instead of simply memorizing the components of the exam, a logical and systematic approach to problem solving evolves from repeatedly asking, "Where is the lesion?"
