Q

jaw reflex test for what cranial nerve? how is it performed?

A

trigeminal nerve (CN V)
masseter reflex is a stretch reflex
The mandible is tapped at a downward angle just below the lips at the chin while the mouth is held slightly open.
+ masseter muscles will jerk the mandible upwards. upper motor neuron lesions the jaw jerk reflex can be quite pronounced.

Q

how to mobilize scapula out of UE flexion synergy?

A

synergy pattern - scapular retraction/elevation or hyperextension.

  • PROM to lateral (external) rotation and distraction of the humerus, especially as ranges approach 90° of flexion or more.
  • scapula should be mobilized on the thoracic wall with an emphasis on upward rotation and protraction to prevent soft tissue impingement in the subacromial space during overhead movements of the arm.

23
Q

Intervention patient with rheumatoid arthritis neck pain

to try? avoid?

A

rheumatoid arthritis linked to cervical ligament laxity
- cervical stabilization exercises in neutral are appropriate for managing neck pain in patients who have rheumatoid arthritis

Avoid

  • mobilizations: high risk for subluxation and significant complications from cervical mobilization
  • Cervical traction
  • thermal agents: application of heating modalities to an area with potential ligamentous laxity or acute inflammation
24
Q

what condition?

  • chronic neck pain
  • marked ulnar drift in both hands at the MCP joints
A

rheumatoid arthritis

cervical spine ligaments can be affected in this population, ligament laxity

25
Q

what is spastic (reflex) bowel function

A

SCI above spinal segments S2–S4, leaving spinal defecation reflexes intact

  • neurogenic bowel - loss of normal bowel function, can’t voluntarily relax the anal sphincter
  • reflex that triggers a BM still works, may not feel it coming, leads to unplanned BM can happen when the rectum is full
  • signal between brain and colon disrupted
26
Q

what is Flaccid bowel problem

A

SCI at or below spinal segments S2–S4 result in
flaccid bowel dysfunction with loss of spinal defecation reflexes
- reduced movement in the colon, less peristalsis, and the sphincter is looser than normal.
- lead to constipation with frequent leaking of stool.

27
Q

what are these movements?

  • long history of taking antiparkinsonian medications
  • random, rapid, and jerky movements.
A

chorea- type of dyskinesia

common side effect of antiparkinsonian medication especially after prolonged

28
Q

what is dysmetria? what part of brain associated with Dysmetria?

A

cerebellum

- problems in judging the distance or range of movement

29
Q

what is dystonia? what part of brain associated with dystonia?

A

basal ganglia
co-contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscles
Segmental dystonia involves two or more adjoining body regions dominated by sustained muscle contractions, causing twisting and repetitive movements and abnormal postures.

30
Q

what part of brain associated with abnormal synergies?

A

motor cortex deficits and lesions in the corticospinal centers
result in the emergence of mass movement patterns

31
Q

order of donning PPE?

A
  1. gown
  2. face mask or respirator (makeup)
  3. goggles or face shield
  4. gloves
    - the order cinderella would dress for a ball
32
Q

what muscle is weak?

  • trunk leans away from the involved side to avoid potential buckling of the involved knee
  • circumduction of the involved leg
A

quads

33
Q

what muscle is weak?
excessive lateral trunk lean during gait due to the decreased to stabilize the pelvis while in stance phase on the contralateral leg

A

gluteus medius

34
Q

what muscle is weak?

  • high steppage to allow clearing of the ankle and foot during gait and to avoid tripping over the foot
  • foot drop
A

tibialis anterior - decrease in ankle dorsiflexion

35
Q

what muscle is weak?

  • posterior thrust of the trunk at heel strike (initial contact) to help obtain hip extension of the stance leg.
  • anterior tilt of the pelvis to help maintain posture.
A

gluteus maximus

36
Q

what condition?
Pain symptoms anterior shoulder in the area of the biceps tendon.
Pain occurs with full extension of the shoulder and elbow

A

bicipital tendinitis

37
Q

what shoulder diagnosis?

“popping out” or “slipping” during overhead activities and is more common in athletic adolescents or young adults

A

glenohumeral instability

38
Q

what shoulder diagnosis?
usually occurs as a result of a trauma
pain associated with this condition is more localized to the AC joint

A

Acromioclavicular joint sprain

39
Q

how to test for bowler’s thumb? what is bowler’s thumb?

A

direct pressure to the base of the thumb (1st digit) is digital nerve compression test for bowler’s thumb

  • Bowler’s thumb is a rare, traumatic neuropathic condition involving the ulnar digital nerve of the thumb. due to chronic frictional irritation when an avid bowler repeatedly compress the ulnar digital nerve by the thumbhole of a bowling ball.
  • symptoms: thumb numbness, pain on the inner part of the thumb and the web that goes between the index finger and the thumb, weak pinch
40
Q

what test is described
Compressing the cervical spine with ipsilateral rotation and extension - apply downward pressure?
what other tests are it used with?

A

Spurling, Maximal Cervical Compression, or Foraminal Compression Test
test for cervical radiculopathy cluster:
- Spurling’s Test
- Upper limb tension 1
- Quadrant test
- Distraction test

41
Q

how to perform distraction test?

A

for cervical radiculopathy
- Patient lies supine and the neck is comfortably positioned. Examiner securely grasps the patient’s either by placing each hand around the patient’s mastoid processes, while standing at their head, or place one hand on their forehead and the other on the occiput. Slightly flex the patient’s neck and pull the head towards your torso, applying a distraction force
+ positive test is the reduction or elimination of symptoms with traction

42
Q

how to perform Cervical Flexion-Rotation Test (CFRT)?

A

assess dysfunction at the C1-C2 motion segment, high sensitivity and specificity to detect the presence or absence of cervical joint dysfunction in neck pain and headache patients
- Patient is relaxed in supine
- Examiner fully flexes the cervical spine with the occiput resting against the examiners abdomen
- The patient’s head is then rotated to the left and the right
If a firm resistance is encountered, pain provoked, and range is limited before the expected end range, then the test is considered positive, with a presumptive diagnosis of limited rotation of C1 on C2

43
Q

what is Chylous drainage?

A

milky, white drainage that occurs after abdominal surgeries where there is trauma to the cisterna chyli (sac at the lower end of the thoracic duct where lymph from intestinal trunk and two lumbar lymphatic trunks flow) or adjacent lymphatic trunks.
