Lecture 3-movement disorders Flashcards
a state of restlessness
akathisia
inability to coordinate movements of the trunk or limbs
ataxia
involuntary writhing limb movements
athetosis
flailing, ballistic, involuntary movements in a limb
ballism
quick, involuntary, dance-like movements
chorea
involuntary movements, chorea-like or tic-like
dyskinesias
abnormal muscle tone with sustained posture
dystonia
involuntary, spasmodic, jerky movements
myoclonus
habitual, semi-voluntary, spasmodic, quick, brief movements
tics
involuntary, rhythmic, repetitive movement
tremor
2nd most common neurodegenerative disease following alzheimer’s
idiopathic parkinson’s disease
when do motor complications appear in idiopathic parkinson’s disease
~5-7 years after disease
do you see an overactive or underactive indirect pathway in IPD?
overactive
4 cardinal features of IPD
- rest tremor (unilateral)
- rigidity
- akinesia-bradykinesia
- postural instability (later sx)
unified parkinson’s disease rating scale
I: mentation, mood, and behavoir
II: ADLs
III: motor exam
IV: complications of therapy
drug-induced parkinsonism
- offending drug (anti-nausea, anti-psychotics)
- absence of rest tremor
- SYMMETRIC sxs
vascular disease (diff. from parkinsonism)
- GAIT DISTURBANCE (magnetic gait)
- SPASTICITY
- hyper-reflexia
- pseudobulbar affect
normal pressure hydrocephalus
-APRAXIA OF GAIT
-regidity
urinary incontinence
corticobasal degeneration
- COGNITIVE DISORDER
- limb apraxia
- dystonia or myoclonus
progressive supranuclear palsy
- pseudobulbar affect
- supranuclear gaze palsy
- early falls
- absence of tremor
multi-system atrophy
- falls
- axial dystonia
- resp. stridor
- absence of rest tremor
- prominent autonomic features early on
dementia with lewy bodies
- cognitive disorder
- hallucinations
workup for suspected parkinsonism
- none if typical presentation
- MRI if gait disorder/falling, cognitive disorder
hot cross bus sign
MSA (multi-system atrophy)
hummingbird sign (thinning of midbrain)
PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy)
when should you r/o wilson’s disease?
