Abstract:
There are four parts to this film. Part I shows a general neurological examination and clinical signs of disorders of the pyramidal system; Part II, disorders of the extrapyramidal system and the posterior columns; Part III, cerebellar disorders involving the lower motor neurons and convulsive states, and Part IV, functional syndromes with physical symptoms. At the beginning of each section, the affected part of the nervous system is pointed out on casts or schematic diagrams. The patients are male, nude to the waist, and wearing pajama bottoms rolled up above their knees to display their gait or lower limb involvement. Some of the attendants (all male) are wearing Public Health Service uniforms. This film was shot at the U.S. Marine Hospital, Neuropsychiatric Service, Ellis Island, N.Y.
