Overview
Your child’s healthcare provider will talk to you about your child’s medical history and perform a physical examination. As part of the exam, your child’s provider will observe how your child walks. They’ll look for any issues with your child’s feet or legs. They’ll also check for any limitations with your child’s range of motion.
Your child’s provider may perform neurological tests to see if your child has a problem with their nervous system. These tests may include:
- Checking your child’s reflexes.
- Measuring their ability to feel sensations in their arms or legs.
- Testing their muscle strength.
