A stethoscope is also used to listen if the heart is beating properly.
Abdomen
The doctor or nurse specialist examines the abdomen by feeling, patting and listening with a stethoscope.
Blood pressure
Blood pressure is measured. Your child receives a band that encircles the upper arm. The band is inflated until it is tight and then slowly deflated. On a screen, the doctor or nurse specialist reads the blood pressure.
Ears
The doctor or nurse specialist examine the ears with a small light (otoscope) to detect potential abnormalities or infections.
Throat and mouth
While your child keeps sticks out his/her tongue, the doctor or nurse specialist examines the throath en mouth to see if it looks healthy.
Movement
The doctor or nurse specialist asks your child to perform certain movements so they can determine how your child walks and moves.
Neurological examination
Your child's vision, hearing, smell and touch are checked. By gently tapping knees, elbows and ankles with a hammer, the doctor or nurse specialist will see how the reflexes are. Muscle strength and muscle control are also examined. Finally, your child will be asked to walk a bit, hop and stand with their eyes closed.
