Q

Over ________ canadians sustain a TBI every year

A

160,000

22
Q

Motor vehicle accidents account for over __% of TBI

A

50

23
Q

Signs and symptoms of concussion

A

Confusion, dizziness, fatigue and trouble sleeping, nausea and vomiting, loss of memory, difficulty focusing, behaviour changes, and more.

24
Q

Define stroke

A

Sudden loss of brain function due to lack of oxygen getting to the brain.

25
Q

Stroke is the ___ cause of neurological impairment in Canada.

A

Leading.

26
Q

Ischemic strokes

A

Account for 80% of strokes. A blockage in a blood vessel prevents adequate oxygenation. May be thrombotic, where the clot forms in a brain vessel, or embolic, where the clot forms somewhere else then travels to the brain.

27
Q

Hemorrhagic strokes

A

Caused by bleeding within the brain. Both interrupts regular blood flow and can “flood” and kill brain cells.

28
Q

Transient ischemic attack (TIA)

A

A brief ischemic stroke that causes symptoms temporarily, but vanishes before it can be imaged. Increased risk of full stroke.

29
Q

How will the impacts of stroke differ by brain region?

A

Frontal vs temporal, occipital, parietal, cerebellum, brain stem.

30
Q

Global prevalence of MS

A

1/3000

31
Q

Define MS

A

A neurological disease where the immune system attacks myelin sheaths and oligodendrocytes causing multiple lesions in the brain.

32
Q

Prevalence of autism in children

A

1/68. 5 times as common in boys than girls.

33
Q

Medical perspective of autism

A

Autism is a congenital spectrum neurological disorder that appears in the first 3 years of life, and causes problems with social interaction and communication.

34
Q

DSM-5 5 diagnostic criteria for autism

A
  1. Persistent difficulties with social interaction and communication across multiple settings.
  2. Restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests
  3. Symptoms are present in the early developmental period
  4. Symptoms are significant enough to impair daily activities and functions
  5. Not better explained by intellectual impairement or developmental delays.
35
Q

What fraction of people with autism live independently?

A

1/3

36
Q

Autism and neurodiversity

A

Neurodiversity perspective sees autism as a meaningful part of identity, not a disability.

37
Q

Two components for autism occuring

A

Genetics and environmental toxins

38
Q

4 types of visual supports for autism

A

Sequence supports, procedural supports, rule supports, and temporal supports

39
Q

Definition of intellectual impairement

A

Impairment of general mental abilities with an impact on daily function with symptoms that begin in the early developmental period.

40
Q

3 components of the functional skills assessment of intellectual impairement.

A

Conceptual, social skills, and practical skills.

41
Q

Down syndrome

A

Genetic condition where an extra piece of genetic material is attached to chromosome pair 21. A developmental disability with associated physical and intellectual impairement.

42
Q

Types of down syndrome chromosomal abnormalities

A

Trisomy 21 (95%) - additional chromosome at 21 on most/all cells.
Translocation (3-5%) - additional material from 21 fuses with other chromosomes.
Mosaicism (<2%) - Some cells affected and others not.

43
Q

Atlantoaxial instability with Down Syndrome

A

Joint laxity between the atlas and axis vertebrae. Can lead to SCI injuries

44
Q

Legal blindness

A

Visual acuity of 20/200 or FOV<20 degrees

45
Q

4 major causes of visual impairement

A

Age related macular degeneration, Glaucoma, diabetes retinopathy, and cataracts.

46
Q

Age related macular degeneration

A

Leading cause of vision loss in Canada. Degeneration/thinning of the macula with age causing blurring in the central vision

47
Q

Glaucoma

A

Fluid build up causes optic nerve damage that reduces peripheral vision and moves inwards.

48
Q

Diabetic retinopathy

A

Leaky blood vessels do not adequately oxygenate the retina, so new blood vessels from that block the vision (both peripheral and central).

49
Q

Cataracts

A

Clouding of the vision affecting central vision and leading to glare.

50
Q

Strabismus

A

Inability to focus both eyes
