Lower extremity peripheral nerve assessment.
Lower extremity peripheral nerve function is essential for normal mobility and protection of the feet and legs from further trauma. The common causes of such injuries predispose the patient to a more serious injury and prolonged morbidity. It is therefore essential that a careful assessment be done as often as necessary to protect the patient from complications that may cause long-term disability.
