Q

What are components of memory?

A

register, retain and recall

short vs long term, ability to follow multi step commands

23
Q

What is retrograde amnesia?

A

can’t recall past info

24
Q

What is anterograde amnesia?

A

can’t learn new info

25
Q

What are executive functions?

A

awareness, reasoning, planning, judgement, intuition, decision making

26
Q

What are two standardized test and measures for cognition and what scores are needed to “pass”?

A

mini mental state exam- 24/30

Montreal cognitive assessment 26/30

27
Q

What is Wernicke’s aphasia?

A

receptive or unable to understand language

28
Q

What is Broca’s aphasia?

A

expressive, trouble with speaking

29
Q

What is dysarthria?

A

poor articulation

30
Q

Why is somatosensation so important?

A

critical to motor learning and motor performance, guides selection of movement pattern required in a given sensory environment, used by CNS to modify or adapt ongoing movements

31
Q

What is so important about sensory integration?

A

vital to planning and allowing interaction with environment

people can have intact somatosensation but impaired integration

32
Q

What does light touch, pain and temperature assess?

A

anterolateral column in spinal cord, fibers slow and small

33
Q

What does vibration, two point discrimination and proprioception test?

A

dorsal column of spinal cord

large and fast fibers

34
Q

What will be affected in nerve root lesion?

A

dermatomal distribution or abnormal sensation

35
Q

What will be affected in peripheral nerve involvement?

A

distribution of that specific nerve

36
Q

What is will neuropathy affect?

A

stocking glove distribution

37
Q

What do you test for superficial sensation?

A

pain- sharp/dull
temp- hot/ cold
light touch- cotton balls/ swab, monofilaments
pressure- finger tip

start distal to proximal and usually done first

38
Q

How to test deep sensation?

A

kinesthesia- movement sense

proprioception- joint position

vibration perception

39
Q

What are combined cortical sensations?

A

cortical sensory areas that involve both superficial and deep sensation

40
Q

What is agnosia?

A

not knowing

41
Q

What is neglect?

A

lack of awareness or attention

42
Q

What is stereognosis?

A

object recognition

43
Q

What is 2 point discrimination?

A

distinguish between one or two stimuli

44
Q

What is double simultaneous stimulation?

A

apply stimuli to one or both sides or the same body location simultaneously, identify between one or two stimuli

45
Q

What is graphesthesia?

A

identify figures drawn on skin

46
Q

What is barognosis?

A

identify which object is heavier or lighter

47
Q

What is active control of movement?

A

ACOM, assessment of motor control

ability to execute a motor plan and isolate muscle of muscle groups

48
Q

What are two different types of movement seen in neuro patients?

A
  1. selective or isolated

2. abnormal synergistic patterns, occurs with attempt to actively move limb

49
Q

What are you looking for during ACOM?

A

is motion absent? initiated?

complete range of motion? AG or GM?

isolated?

abnormal patterns?

50
Q

When do you use MMT for neuro pts?

A

if movement is isolated even just a little
