Detailed explanation-1: -Stereognosis is tested by placing some familiar object (eg, ball, cube, coin) in the patient’s hand while his or her eyes are closed and asking the patient to identify the object. Inability to recognize the size or shape is referred to as astereognosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Extraocular movements (EOMs) are controlled by cranial nerves III, IV, and VI, which you’ll test together.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you’re having muscle weakness or losing muscle mass, your doctor may test your reflexes and discover areflexia. If you have it, your doctor will figure out how much nerve damage you have and explain what treatments could help.
Detailed explanation-4: -Trigeminal motor function is tested by palpating the masseter muscles while the patient clenches the teeth and by asking the patient to open the mouth against resistance.
