Sophisticated technology for neurodiagnosis supplements, but does not replace, the neurological examination. Physical examination remains the standard for assessing the normal or abnormal function of the nervous system, the localization of neurological injury, and the severity of impairment. An experienced examiner can rapidly perform this assessment and then exercise the best judgement in selecting laboratory investigations.
