Definition & Operational Usage
The Glasgow Motor Score is a component of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) that assesses a patient’s motor response to stimuli, ranging from no motor response to obeying commands. It helps quantify neurologic function by evaluating purposeful movements, withdrawal, abnormal posturing, or absence of movement.
