Medical (general)
neurological examination
This is from the neurological evaluation of a patient admitted for possible stroke. Part of the report says:
"... non asimmeria rima, lingua psorta [sporta] dritta, nuca libera, *lieve main creuse mano dx* ma bene l apresa, solleva bene aa inf." (The misspellings are in the report ... not mine).
This is an evaluation of the patient's grip? I think "bene l apresa" should be "bene la presa" = good grip. But I don't understand "lieve mani creuse mano dx" (if those are the correct words ... lots of misspellings). How would you translate this?
Thanks again.

Note from asker:
| Grazie. So "main creuse" is correct, not a misspelling. I would not have known that, since I thought it was all Italian. |
| I used the French version in my translation and put the English in brackets after it. |
