In this video, titled "Neuromuscular Exam, Sensory Modalities and Reflex Testing," Dr. Divpreet Kaur, the Division Chief for Neuromuscular Division at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, along with Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner, Ms. Kim Vesic, demonstrate a sensory neurological examination and reflex testing on a patient with neuropathy. They start with a light touch and fingerprint examination, then move on to temperature, vibration, and proprioception tests on both upper and lower extremities.

They use a tuning fork to test vibration sensation and perform proprioception tests by asking the patient to close their eyes and identifying movements of their toe.
