Question 11

Rhythmic, quick, oscillatory, back-and-forth movement of the eyes

Answer 11

Nystagmus

Question 12

Inability to halt forceful movements after resistive stimulus removed; patient unable to stop sudden limb motion

Answer 12

Rebound phenomenon

Question 13

Generalize muscle weakness

Answer 13

Asthenia

Question 14

Involuntary oscillatory movement resulting from alternate contractions of opposing muscle groups

Answer 14

Tremor

Question 15

Oscillatory movement during voluntary motion; increases as the limb nears target; diminished or absent at rest

Answer 15

Intention (kinetic) tremor

Question 16

Exaggerated oscillatory movement of the body in standing posture or of a limb held against gravity

Answer 16

Postural (static) tremor
