what is coning?
when tonsils of cerebellum compress on brainstem
end up not breathing and dyeing
if cant lift arms up ..they have what weakness?
prox muscle weakness
if cant open a jar,, they have what weakness?
distal muscle weakness
incresed tone
brisk relfexes
weak extensors in arms
weak flexors in legs
UMN lesion
wasting fasciculation decreased tone decreased or absent reflexes flexor plantars
LMN lesion
in muscle disease what will you see
wasting
reduced tone
decreased or absent reflexes
in a neuromusclular junctuon problem you will see what>
fatuigable weakness
normal or decreased tone
normal tendon relfexes
NO Sensory symptoms
sensory level loss suggest what?
a spinal cord lesion
what type of symtoms are these?
bradykinesia hypomimia hypophionia reduced arm swing impaired postural reflexes assymetry in PD
extrapyramidal/ parkinsonism
