kahoot: sensory impairments Flashcards
Which sensory spinal tract would be responsible for feeling vibration created by a tuning fork?
Spinocerebellar
Spinothalamic
Dorsal Column
Corticospinal
dorsal column
T/F: the spinothalmic tract senses virbation
FALSE
- dorsal cloumn-medial lemniscuc tract: fine touch, vibration, & proprioception
All of the following are examples of a “deep” sensation EXCEPT:
Deep Pressure
Proprioception
Vibration
Temperature
temp
Difference between allodynia and hyperalgesia?
Hyperalgesia is expected pain yet increased, allodynia is unexpected pain
Trick question. They are the same!
Allodynia is responding to pain that is expected hyperalgesia is unexpected
Hyperalgesia is pain to light touch, allodynia is pain to pinprick
Hyperalgesia is expected pain yet increased, allodynia is unexpected pain
T/F: Cranial nerve 3 has both motor and sensory abilities.
F

Paresthesia
causalgia
T/F: sensation tests are BEST performed from shoulder –> elbow –> wrist and –> hand
flase; start distal
Dysfunction of which cranial nerve could make it difficult to difficulty swallowing and a weakened voice
Facial
Glossopharyngeal
Vagus
Accessory
vagus
A grading sensation of a 3 would mean
The patient was inconsistent with the test
The patient was hyperreactive to the test
This is a normal score.
The sensation was absent
inconsistent with test
