37
What cord syndrome? Damage to the\_\_\_ of the spinal cord, affecting pain, temperature and touch sensation, but leaving some pressure and joint sensation. Often motor function is unaffected.
Anterior cord syndrome
38
MOST COMMON spinal cord injury; incomplete; characterized by impairment in the arms and hands and, to a lesser extent, in the legs. Sensory loss and loss of bladder control may occur.
Central Cord Syndrome
39
Contralateral altered sensation/anesthesia to pain and temperature, ipsilateral loss of proprioception + motor paralysis. Tactile sensation spared.
Brown-Sequard Syndrome
40
The most common type of spinal cord injury. The spinal cord is bruised but not severed. Inflammation and bleeding occurs near the injury as a result of the injury; extended periods of long-term hospitalization and rehabilitation needed for up to six to 12 months.
Spinal Contusion
41
\_\_\_\_ = no motor or sensory function is preserved in the sacral segments S4-S5 below injury
Asia A - COMPLETE
42
sensory ONLY function is preserved below the neurological level and includes the sacral segments S4-S5. This is typically a transient phase and if the person recovers any motor function below the neurological level, that person essentially becomes a motor incomplete
Asia B - Sensory INCOMPLETE
43
motor function is preserved below the neurological level, and MORE than half of key muscles below the neurological level of injury have a muscle grade less than 3 (gravity elimitated)
Asia C - motor incomplete
44
motor function is preserved below the neurological level and at least half of the key muscles have a muscle grade of 3 or more (can move against gravity (3) or with additional resistance (4 & 5)).
Asia D - motor incomplete
45
Both syndromes are neurosurgical emergencies as they can present with back pain radiating to the legs, motor and sensory dysfunction of the lower extremities, bladder and/or bowel dysfunction, sexual dysfunction and saddle anesthesia.
Cauda Equina + Conus Medularris Syndrome

53
Mild/Moderate/severe coma ratings (high to low indicates what?)
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) classifies Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) as Mild (14–15); Moderate (9–13) or Severe (3–8).
54
Brachial Plexus roots and order of structures (roots to ?)
Robert Taylor Drinks Cold Beer from 5 to 1
55
Differentiation between ulnar nerve compression at Guyon canal (wrist) vs. cubital tunnel (elbow) What is ulnar nerve vulnerable to?
guyon = burning pain in the wrist and hand followed by **decreased sensation** in the ring and little fingers Cubital Tunnel = Numbness and tingling in the hand **when the elbow is bent.** **Weak grip** and clumsiness due to muscle weakness in the affected arm and hand. Aching pain on the inside of the elbow. vulnerability = traction, friction and compression.
56
The ? tracts are part of the UMN system and are **a system of efferent nerve fibers that carry signals from the cerebral cortex to either the brainstem or the spinal cord**. It divides into two tracts: the corticospinal tract and the corticobulbar tract.
pyramidal tracts
57
***?? tracts*** are chiefly found in the reticular formation of the pons and medulla, and target lower motor neurons in the spinal cord **serves an essential function in maintaining posture and regulating involuntary motor functions**
58
These tracts originate in the cerebral cortex, carrying motor fibres to the [spinal cord](https://www.physio-pedia.com/Spinal_cord_anatomy) and [brain stem](https://www.physio-pedia.com/Brainstem). They are responsible for the voluntary control of the musculature of the body and face.
***pyramidal***
59
all the neurones within the descending motor system are classed as
upper motor neurones Their cell bodies are found in the cerebral cortex or the brain stem, with their axons remaining within the CNS At the termination of the descending tracts, the neurones synapse with a lower motor neurone
60
* Inhibition of involuntary movements (hyperkinesias), which are particularly evident in ? diseases.
extrapyramidal
61
Cardinal signs of UMN damage/lesion
* Hypertonia – an increased muscle tone * Hyperreflexia – increased muscle reflexes * Clonus – involuntary, rhythmic muscle contractions * Babinski sign – extension of the hallux in response to blunt stimulation of the sole of the foot Muscle weakness
62
Conscious proprioception includes what nerve organs
63
[Tactile mechanoreceptors](https://www.physio-pedia.com/index.php?title=Tactile_Mechanoreceptors&action=edit&redlink=1) include:
* Meissner's corpuscles, which are concerned with a fine touch and two-point discrimination * Free nerve endings on hair follicles, which is concerned with a fine touch, and * Pacinian corpuscles deal with pressure sense and vibration sense.
64
The primary function of the dorsal column pathway is to convey The dorsal column nuclei also transmit
* sensory information regarding fine touch, two-point discrimination, conscious [proprioception](https://www.physio-pedia.com/Proprioception), and vibration sensations from our skin and joints, excluding the head. * visceral nociceptive information to the contralateral ventral posterior lateral (VPL) thalamic nucleus, which in turn relays the information to the somatosensory cerebral cortex
65
* Posterior cord syndrome, also known as posterior spinal artery syndrome- an infraction to posterior spinal artery. This artery supplies the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ how to test?
DORSAL COLUMN PATHWAYS (SENSORY) [Romberg test](https://www.physio-pedia.com/Romberg_Test) is part of a neurological exam used clinically to test for the integrity of the posterior column pathway. ## Footnote Tested features: fine touch, 2-point discrimination, conscious proprioception, and vibration [sensation](https://www.physio-pedia.com/Sensation).
