Q

polyneuropathy

A

many nerves in different parts of the body are involved

33
Q

polyneuropathy distribution

A

this will have a stocking and glove distribution because the longest axons are the most effected - dying back rule

34
Q

ST is responsible for what

A

pain and temp

35
Q

DCML is responsible for what

A

JPS
vibration
kinesthesia

36
Q

what is stereognosis

A

the mental perception of depth or three-dimensionality by the senses

usually in reference to the ability to perceive the form of solid objects by touch.

37
Q

what is testing in cortical discrimination

A

stereognosis
two-point discrimination
touch localization

38
Q

superficial sensations

A

pain perception

temp awarness

39
Q

deep senses

A

JPS
vibration
kinesthesia

40
Q

what is graphesthesia

A

the ability to recognize symbols when they’re traced on the skin

41
Q

what makes up the motor cortex

A

primary cortex
premotor cortex
supplemental motor areas

42
Q

subcortical nuclei

A

BG
dorsal thalamus
red nucleus
vestibular nuclei
reticular nuclei

43
Q

cortical-spinal tract - main influence

A

motor neurons that innervate muscles of distal extremities

motor neuron in the lateral part of the ventral horn

44
Q

CST collaterals

A

modulate and control the indirect BS motor centers that axial and antigravity neurons

this allows for the right amount of supporting tone

45
Q

what is the direct pathway for motor control

A

the CST

46
Q

what is the indirect pathway for motor control

A

brainstem motor control centers

47
Q

what is the function of brainstem motor control centers

A

tonically activate LMN that innervate axial and antigravity muscles

motor neurons that are in the medial part of the ventral horn

48
Q

what are the three brainstem motor control centers

A

rubrospinal tract
vestibulospinal tract
recticulospinal tract

49
Q

what are the parts of the motor

A

tone
PROM
AROM
reflexes
involuntary movement
muscle mass

50
Q

what are the two types of hypertonia

A

spasticity
rigidity

51
Q

what is dystonia

A

characterized by involuntary (unintended) muscle contractions that cause slow repetitive movements or abnormal postures that can sometimes be painful.

52
Q

what is spasticity - UMN or LMN issue

A

UMN

53
Q

what is spasticity due to - what pathway is affected

A

corticalspinal pathways in the cere, BS, or motor pathways in the SC

54
Q

rigidity - presents as

A

resistance to passive movements

55
Q

rigidity is often seen with what

A

parkinsons

56
Q

hypotonia is seen with LMN or UMN issue and

A

LMN
vetsibular center
cere

57
Q

can muscle strength alone tell you about motor function

A

no

58
Q

movement coordination deficits due to hypokinesia

A

altered movement timing and amount

59
Q

what are action tremors

A

tremors that are exaggerated at the end of voluntary movement

can be present at the start or through the entire movement

the tremor with often go away when the affected body part is at rest
