Why Might a Physical Therapist Want to Examine Sensory Function

Why might a physical therapist want to examine sensory function prior to motor function?

A) The sensory exam takes less time and therefore it is the most time-efficient way to perform the exam.
B) The sensory exam does not cause any discomfort and therefore the patient can stay alert for the motor exam.
C) The sensory system is more sensitive to fatigue and should be examined before the patient becomes fatigued.
D) The sensory system influences movement and therefore examination first may direct the examination of motor function.
