Impairments and anatomy lecture

Question 1

Medical diagnosis. what it means?

Answer 1

Relates directly to the damaged structure or pathological process

Question 2

Medical diagnosis. how is it used?

Answer 2

ICD-10 Coding:
Codes for diagnoses
Must correlate with billing codes or payment compromised

Question 3

Physical Therapy Diagnosis

Answer 3

It is hypothesis driven. How it is composed is what is the thing we are treating

Question 4

What is the point of impairments?

Answer 4

Confirm diagnosis
Monitor treatment progress or disease progression
Form hypotheses of functional limitation

Question 5

Why do we need a Functional Limitation

Answer 5

Forms PT diagnosis

Creates measurable goals

Question 6

Upper motor neuron tracts

Answer 6

deliver signals to spinal interneurons and lower motor neurons

Question 7

Lower motor neurons

Answer 7

transmit signals directly to skeletal muscles, eliciting the contraction of muscle fibers

Question 8

What is Reflex Testing?

Answer 8

Differentiates Upper vs Lower Motor neuron involvement

Descending Motor tracts vs. spinal level response

Question 9

Phasic stretch reflex

Answer 9

Quick stretch
Activates muscle spindles
Type Ia signaling
Alpha motor neuron stimulated
Appropriate response by muscl

Question 10

Relationship between reflexive and voluntary movements

Answer 10

Voluntary movement is influenced by reflexes

Appropriate levels of the CNS interact to produce context-dependent movement.

Question 11

Babinski reflex

Answer 11

occurs after the sole of the foot has been firmly stroked. The big toe then moves upward or toward the top surface of the foot. The other toes fan out

Question 12

Lateral Corticospinal Tract

Answer 12

motor tract. Axons pass through internal capsule

and crosses in medulla.

Question 13

Babinski Response

Answer 13

Can stimulate activation of step without higher level input
Modulate motor activity
DRG, Interneurons & LMN synapse are intact
No inhibition from UMN
