Q

TREMORS AND INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENTS

absent at rest
appear with activity
disorders of cerebellar pathways like multiple sclerosis

A

intention tremors

17
Q

slower and more twisting than chorea
larger ampiltude
most commonly involve the face and distal extremities

A

athetosis

18
Q

similar to athetoid movements
often involve larger portions of the body including trunk
grotesque twisted postures may result due to:

  1. spasmodic torticolis
  2. phenazolthiazines
  3. primary torsion dystonia
A

dystonia

19
Q

brief, rapid, jerky and unpredictable
occur at rest or interrupt normal coordinated movements
due to sydenhams’s chorea
and huntington’s

A

chorea

20
Q

abnormalities in speech

less severe impairment in volume, quality or pitch of voice

due to: laryngitis, laryngeal tumors, vocal cord paralysis (CN X)

A

dysphonia

21
Q

abnormalities in speech

defect in muscular control of speech
due to motor lesions of central and peripheral n.s.

due to parkinsonism and cerebellar disease

A

dysarthria

22
Q

abnormalities in speech

disorder in producing/understanding language

due to lesions of dominant hemisphere

A

aphasia

23
Q

TYPES OF APHASIA

lesion on post. inferior frontal lobe
inflection and articulation are impaired but words are meaningful
telegraphic speech

A

broca’s aphasia

24
Q

abnormalities in speech

can hear words but cannot relate them to previous experiences
fluent speech, often rapid
sentences lack meaning

A

wernicke aphasia

25
Q

abnormalities in speech

word comprehension is absent or reduced to patient’s name

reading comprehension is severely impaired

spontaneous speech absent or reduced to only few words or sounds

A

global aphasia

26
Q

abnormal breathing

rapid breathing
tachypnea and hyperpnea
air hunger
causes: metabolic acidosis

A

kaussmaul breathing

27
Q

abnormal breathing

periods of deep and fast breathing then becomes shallow the slow

crescendo and decrescendoo

examples: heart failure, uremia, increased ICP, brain damage

A

cheyne stokes breathing

28
Q

abnormal breathing

unpredictable irregularities
periods of apnea occur at irregular pattern

causes respiratory failure
brain damage (medulla) increased ICP
