The video presents a complete pediatric physical exam, carried out in a structured, respectful, and age appropriate manner. The doctor begins with clear communication: she introduces herself, explains the procedure, and maintains a calm and empathetic tone, which helps create a trusting environment from the start.

The exam follows the classic “head to toe” approach and covers all major systems: neurological, ENT, cardiopulmonary, abdominal, musculoskeletal, and dermatological. Key techniques such as inspection, palpation, auscultation, and basic functional tests (reflexes, strength, coordination, and balance) are used appropriately. The doctor also integrates playful elements like arm wrestling or heel to toe walking, which is ideal in pediatrics as it reduces stress and encourages cooperation.

Another strong point is the indirect assessment of motor and neurological development, even if not explicitly stated something essential in pediatric evaluation. The child actively participates throughout the exam, allowing observation of not only her physical state but also her level of understanding and developmental maturity.
