For example, walk for 5 or 10 minutes every day. Or increase your number of steps by 300 to 500 each day. After you've made walking a habit, set a longer-term goal. You may want to set a goal of walking briskly for at least 30 minutes a day or work up to 10,000 steps a day. You can try to do this 5 days a week or more. You can use a phone app or wear a pedometer to track your steps each day. To stay motivated, find a walking partner, such as a family member, friend, or coworker.
The following symptoms are encountered with lesions producing third cranial nerve dysfunction. 1  The most common lesions to affect the third cranial nerve involve the fascicular portions of the nerve at some level.
Chapter 7 - Lower cranial nerve function. The lower cranial nerves are involved in pharyngeal and laryngeal function as well as in movements of the neck and tongue. Damage usually manifests as problems with speech and swallowing.These nerves arise from the medulla and, in the case of the accessory nerve (CN XI), the spinal cord.These nerves are commonly affected by conditions damaging the medulla, but bilateral damage to corticobulbar connections can create motor problems that affect tongue and pharynx movement and speech.oth the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves (CN IX and X) have taste and somatic sensory functions that are not routinely examined. However, the taste function in the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) can be examined if there is suspicion of damage to the nerve (vagus nerve taste function cannot be tested).
