Quick Neurological Screening Test, 3rd edition

Assesses motor coordination and sensory integration.

The QNST-3R is an individually administered, empirically based assessment of the development of motor coordination and sensory integration (both of which have been shown to relate to learning aswell as to general daily functioning), seen as neurological soft signs (NSS). NSS are minor irregularities that include poor motor coordination, sensory perceptual changes, and difficulty sequencing complex motor tasks.


The presence of NSSs can therefore indicate neural trauma and is often a harbinger of learning difficulties (with or without trauma). The QNST-3Rasks examinees to perform a series of motor tasks adapted from traditional neurological and neuropsychological exams. These tasks are nonthreatening and requires no equipment other than a pencil. These tasks include figure recognition and production, palm form recognition, eye tracking, sound patterns, finger to nose, thumb and finger circle, rapidly reversing repetitive hand movements, arm and leg extension, tandem walking, standing on one leg, skipping, left-right discrimination, and behavioural irregularities.
