A graphical method for the description of the spatial extension and temporal development of muscular weakness in neurological disorders implemented on a personal computer is described. Different degrees of paresis of individual muscle groups are represented by distinct grey tone values or colors in a semi-anatomic scheme. This representation provides a rapid recognition of essential features of the clinical syndrome, such as the pattern of muscular weakness and its temporal development. In parallel to the results of force testing, the results of other investigations in the same muscle groups can also be presented by the graphical method. | A graphical method for the description of the spatial extension and temporal development of muscular weakness in neurological disorders implemented on a personal computer is described.
