2 Marked increase in tone through entire range but easily moved
3 Considerable increase in tone, passive movement difficult
4 Rigid

36
Q

Sogue’s phenomenon

A

Finger ext and abduction when arm is elevated above horizontal

37
Q

Raimiste’s phenomenon

A

  • Visualize items in home and spell words backwards
  • Imagine the examiner changing posture
  • Improvements lasted at 6 month follow-up
58
Q

Unilateral neglect and prisms/patching
