Difficult and poorly cooperative children remain the most challenging group to examine accurately and completely. In this situation, the physician becomes less confident about the neurological findings and clinical evaluation. Several factors were found predictive of difficult behavior during the evaluation including anxiety when meeting unfamiliar people, short time to adjust to the medical situation, previous hospitalization, fear of injections, and parental anxiety. Limited neurological literature addresses the issues relating to the examination of difficult and poorly cooperative children. In this review, I present some practical tips and techniques that can be utilized to improve the likelihood of obtaining accurate information about the neurological status of young and difficult children. Certainly, repeated examinations and experience play an important role; however, solid knowledge, strong communication skills, accurate observation skills, and use of proper techniques are crucial for eliciting and interpreting neurological signs in difficult children. Finally, a patient and empathetic physician and supportive guiding parents are needed for a successful neurological assessment.  ISSN : 0749-8063  Journal Name : Journal of Child Neurology  Volume : 10  Issue Number : 22  Publishing Year : 2007 AH 2007 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Saturday, March 13, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email محمد جان jan, Mohammed Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  25900.doc doc   Back To Researches Page
