Q

technique for CFT capillary fill time

A

apply firm digital pressure to the tip of a toe for 3 sec

after releasing your finger, the skin blanches white

a delay beyond 3 sec of return to normal skin color indicates decrease arterial flow into the capillary bed

avoid pressing over toenail to cause blanching due to frequency of thick nails which makes evaluation of the CFT difficult

any delay in CFT can be associated with either vasospasm or structural changes to the lg vessels supplying the microcirculation

10 eversion

44
Q

45
Q

46
Q

movement against gravity but not against added resistance

A

47
Q

movement at joint, but not against gravity

A

2/5

48
Q

b/c normal pod msk exam occurs in sitting position with feet elevated, active movement of the foot and ankle against resistance implies that the muscle strength rating is at least..

A

2/5

49
Q

early loss of strength is usually seen in

A

extensor digitorum brevis

weakness is normal after 65 yo

50
Q

more sever m. strength loss seen with

A

ankle dorsiflexion

most severe loss seen with ankle plantarflexion

51
Q

mediate voluntary movement, particularly fine, discrete, conscious movement

A

corticospinal or pyramidal tract

problem could be CVA

52
Q

helps to maintain m. tone and to control body movements, especially gross automatic movements such as walking

A

extrapyramidal tract

problem could be parkinsons

53
Q

receives both sensory and motor input and coordinates muscular activity - maintains equilibrium and helps control posture

A

cerebellar system

problem could be seen as a loss of the sense of balance

54
Q

after entry into the dorsal (posterior sensory) spinal cord, the sensory impulse proceeds along one of two courses:

A

posterior column

lateral spinothalamic tract

55
Q

pt complains of burning, cramping

A

lateral spinothalamic tract

56
Q

sharp and dull pain
temp
crude touch

A

lateral spinothalamic tract

57
Q

composition of lateral spinothalmic tract

A

aka small tract

C and Adelta fibers

58
Q

composition of large fiber tract

A

a alpha fibers

aka posterior column

59
Q

position
vibration
fine touch

A

posterior column

60
Q

patient complains of pins and needles or electric shock sensation

A

posterior column

61
Q

SWM tests which tract?

A

lateral spinothalamic

62
Q

describe how to use the SWM

A

using a 5.07 SWM apply pressure to 1st, 3rd,5th metatarsal heads and toes, the plantar arch, the plantar hell, beneath the 5th metabase and the dorsal midfoot

inability to detect the pressure in more than 3 areas suggests the potential for neurotrophic ulceration, especially in the diabetic

63
Q

describe the sharp dull test

A

use th cotton tip and opposite end to test dull vs. sharp along at least 2 dif dermatomes

ask pt to close eyes then touch asking “which is sharper the first touch or the second touch or are they same?”

64
Q

sensory tests for posterior column

A

vibration
position sense
2pt discrimination

65
Q

describe the vibration test

A

use a 128 cyc/sec tuning fork over IPJ of hallux, ask pt to tell you when it stops vibrating

place tuning fork over DIPJ of your index finger - vibration should extinguish withing 10 SECONDS

if sensed found to be decreased, proceed more proximally over bony prominences until vibration felt and note area of normal pallesthesia

66
Q

normal minimal distance at which the pt can discriminate one from two pts on the tip of great toe

A

5-6 mm

67
Q

when is an absent achilles reflex normal?

A

after 80 yo

68
Q

using reinforcement to facilitate observation of reflexes in LE

A

jendressic maneuver

document as “reflex with reinforcement”

knee: L2,3,4
ankle: S1,2

69
Q

deep reflexes are dependent on 5 things. They are NOT dependent upon higher levels of motor function in brain and cord.

A
intact sensory n.
functional synapse in spinal cord
intact motor n. fiber
NMJ 
competent m.
70
Q

normal reflex grade

2/4

4/4 may be associated with clonus and indicates UMN disease
0/4 no response, LMN disease

71
Q

A

flexing

fanning and dorsiflexion is abnormal and indicates UMN disease

74

remove pt socks in bed or after placing bedsheet under heel, pull it out from under heel and over toes

75
Q

if pt can stand on tiptoes but not on heels =
