Can we do proprioception and vibration only in LL?
Should we have to do heelpad test for cerebellar function?
Is it mandatory to use snellen's chart -If not , Should we have to stand 10 feet away and ask them to count the fingers???
Pls drop in ur suggestions!Thanx!

If you have time, do proprioception in both UL and LL.
If the patient is presenting with CC of Incontinence for example and you don't have enough time, then only do proprioception anc vibration in the LL.
By "heelpad test" do you mean testing gait and asking the patient to walk on his/her heels? If you have time, do it, if not, ask the patient to walk in a straight line away from you a few steps and then back toward you.
Use the small snellen chart. Stand about an arm's length away from the patient. Ask him to cover one eye and read the smallest line. Then cover the other eye and read the smallest line again.

Thank you Dr.Virgo!I really appreciate it!
I was mentioning the hell-lnee test .Sorry for the typo!Is it ok if we could do only the finger-nose and dysdiadochokinesia?
Thanx for letting me know about snellen's chart. Is there a small and a large one?
In a case of dizziness, If the patient has no visual complaints, Can we do pupillary reflex and Exra-ocular movements test alone with respect to 2,3,4,6 CN ?
Thanx again drvirgo!
