lectures Flashcards
ABCs of radiographic evaluation
A: alignment
B: bone density
C: cartilage spaces
S: soft tissues
what are Clinical-based/performance-based (clinician performs) vs. patient centered/self-report
outcome measures
if a response is formated with yes or no questions , asking if you are independent or dependent , able to do or unable to do something this is an example of what format
nominal measures
what response format is Points awarded based onf self report , outcome is measured in rank order
Ex: describe ability to take shower: no difficulty (0), some (1), etc, patient satisfaction
ordinal
what is the difference between interval and ration
interval is real numbers and ratio has to have a 0
if the test does the same thing every time then it is what
reliable
what is face validity
measures what it claims to
what validity is Subcomponents adequately cover entire construct
content validity
what is the difference between ceiling and floor effect
ceiling is to easy and floor is to hard
Minimal clinically important difference: smallest diff in measured variable that signifies an important diff in pt’s condition .. how much does the score change by
10
what Measures overall disability or quality of life

*Functional gait assessment
are example of what perfromance based outcome measures ?
gait
*Tinetti
*Star excursion
*Y-balance
are examples of what performance based outcome
balance
how is gait speed determined
10 meter walk test
Household ambulator:
Limited community ambulator:
Community ambulator:
Household ambulator: <0.4 m/s
Limited community ambulator: 0.4-<0.8 m/s
Community ambulator: >=0.8 m/s
Crude/coarse touch, pain, temp, sharp/dull are all examples of what tract when testing
anterolateral
Light touch, fine touch, vibration, position sense, protective sensation… are all examples of what tract when test neurosensory
posterior
T/F: Rare to have complete loss of sensation bc of peripheral nerve overlap
T
will you have weakness or paralysis when testing for myotomes
weakness
Rapid alternating (forearm sup vs. pron) is part of what coordination test and what is it testing
upper and dysdiadochokinesia
Finger opposition (rapid touch pad of thumb to each other finger) is apart of which coordination testing
upper
Finger to nose eyes closed (alternate nose touches from each arm) and Finger to nose eyes open (alternate nose touches from each arm) is apart of which coordination test and what is it testing for
upper and dysmetria
Rapid alternating (ankle DF/PF) is apart of which coordination testing and what is it testing for
lower and dysdiadochokinesia
what is lack of control of body movements defined as
Ataxia
define dysmetria
error in trajectory
define Dysdiadochokinesia
cant do rapid alternating movements
what test should be performed for UMNL for pathologic relexes
clonus
babinski
hoffmans
pronator drift
shimizu relfex
what is cervical myelopathy
sc is being squeezed in the central region
will have UE , LE and trunk issues
if a patient presents with hyporeflexia , muscle weakness, muscles atrophy, or sensory changes along dermatome or peripheral n distribution then what do they have
LMNL
what is a positive test of clonus
Beats observed into PF
what is positive testing for pronator drift
1 or both arms drop out of flexion &/or sup
*More severe is there’s elbow or finger flexion
*If R arm drops → L lesion (bc this is for UMNL)
what is a positive test for babinski
great toe extends & toes splay or if pt withdraws LE
*Normal in infants
*Suspect opposite side UMNL
what is a positive test for hoffmans
thumb flexes & adducts &/or 2nd digit flexes
Suspect opposite side UMNL
what is the positive finding for shimizu testing
scap elevation or humeral abduction
Lesion @ craniocervical junction or higher cervical levels
what comes first in testing … myotomes or reflexes
myotomes
what comes first in testing … MMT or ROM
ROM
what is done last in testing
MMT
what is inability to recognize familiar objects by touch
Asterognosis
what is the inability to correctly locate sensation
Atopognosis
what is the inability to distinguish b/t diff weights
Abaragnosis:
what is defined as paralysis of lower half of 1 side of body
Hemiparaplegia:
Hemiparesis vs. hemiplegia:
paresis is weakness, plegia is paralysis
what is partial paralysis of LE
Paraparesis:
NDI
ODI
STaRT back tool
Cervical deep flexor muscle endurance test
5x StS
Prone plank endurance
Side plank endurance
Sorensen endurance (functional lumbar index)
all of these are outcome measures for what
the spine
what is the difference between lordosis and kyphosis
lordosis is an anterior curve of C and L
kyphosis is a posterior curve of S and T
Where are the common spinal areas for hinge points?
Transition points (b/t diff spinal levels)
Which areas of the spine are most common for disc pathologies?
Cervical C6-C7
