    1. Examination of meningeal excitement (nuchal rigidity, Kernig's and Brudzinski's sign)
    2. Lasegue's sign
    3. Examination of the pupil reflex
    4. Examination of commanded and guided eye movements
    5. Examination of facial nerve (separation of central and peripheral facial palsy)
    6. Examination of muscle tone (detection of pronounced hypotonia/flaccidity, rigidity and spasticity)
    7. Latent paresis tests (Mingazzini-test, Barre-test)
    8. Detailed examination of proximal muscle strength (Shoulder belt, Hip belt, Shoulder flexors and extensors, Thigh flexors and extensors)
    9. Detailed examination of distal muscle strength (median nerve, radial nerve, ulnar nerve; peroneal nerve, tibial nerve)
    10. Degrees of muscle strength (knowledge of BRMC: 0-5/5 scale)
    11. Triceps and biceps reflex induction
    12. Patella and Achilles reflex induction (recognition of clonisation)
    13. Hoffmann and Trömner signs
    14. Babinski's sign
    15. Oculocephalic reflex
    16. Corneal reflex
    17. Heel-to-knee test, finger-to-nose test (finger-to-finger test)
    18. Examination and evaluation of Romberg's position
    19. Gait examination (ataxic gait, paretico-spastic gait, stepping gait, Parkinson-type gait)
    20. Examination of vibrational sensibility
    21. Sensory tests (protopathic and epicritic sensibilities)
    22. Literal knowledge of normal neurological state
