Review Of Related Diseases (RRD) 10 – Disorders Of The Neurological System Practice Test

Normal sensorimotor findings mean the patient has intact sensation, normal muscle tone, and symmetric movement on both sides. This reflects no focal deficits and coordinated function across the body. When everything is working normally, there shouldn’t be unilateral weakness, sensory loss, or abnormal reflex patterns. If you see asymmetric facial weakness, that points to a cranial nerve or corticobulbar tract issue rather than a normal finding. Hyperactive reflexes on one side suggest an upper motor neuron lesion affecting that side of the brain or spinal cord. Loss of sensation in a limb indicates a disruption of sensory pathways. These are signs of pathology, not baseline normalcy. So the best choice captures the idea of a healthy, balanced sensorimotor exam: intact sensation, normal tone, and movement that is symmetric bilaterally.
