Good day.
I'm Dr. Dimitris Malamos,
an oral medicine specialist
who works in the Oral Medicine Clinic
at the National Organization
Health Service in Athens, Greece.
I'm very happy to present to you my topic
about sensory and motor deficits.
Dear colleagues, since the pioneering work
of Sir Henry Head
at the turn of the 19th to 20th century,
a great number of studies
have been conducted around the world
trying to understand the various
sensory and motor deficits.
However, clinicians
have difficulties even now
to recognize the pathophysiology
of these deficits
as they do not have enough knowledge
about various sensory and motor pathways
that are involved with these conditions.

The purpose of this lecture
is to provide an overall view
of the sensory and motor deficits
will enable the clinicians
to treat them in a more objective
and effective manner.
This lecture was designed
to provide useful information,
easily understandable among the undergraduate
medical and dental students,
clinicians, nurses, and all medical staff
that are involved with patients
with sensory and motor deficits.
This lecture presents the definition,
the pathogenesis,
the clinical and laboratory characteristics,
any possible complications
that the treatment plan of various
sensory deficits in part one
and motor deficits in part two
where special information is given
into the acute facial paralysis.

Let's begin my lecture
with the definitions of sensory deficits.

Sensory deficits characterized
by the clinicians the conditions
where a defect in reception, or perceptions,
or even both in one or more senses
are recorded.
