Treatment considerations: Bells Palsy
damage to peripheral nerve VII
26
Treamtment considerations: Facial weakness due to cortex lesion
lower face on contralateral side is affected
27
treatment considerations: facial weakness due to CN VII nucleus lesions
upper and lower ipsilateral side of face affected
28
Vestibulocochlear - cochlear portion
hearing loss clinical examination - snap, finger rub, whisper - rinne test - weber test
29
Vestibulocohlear treatment considerations
any suddent hearing loss should be reffered to a specialist asymmetrical hearing loss of unknown cause should be assessed with audiogram
30
vestibulococohlear: vestibular portion
observe for nystagmus, head Impulse test, balance
31
Head Impulse Test (HIT)
the examiner quicly rotates the patient's head from 10 degrees to one side back to midline while the patient focuses on a target
32
normal VOR response of HIT test
patient is able to fixate on central target
33
abnormal response HIT test
inability to maintain fixation during rotation of the head requiring a corrective saccade once head has stopped moving
34
Glossopharyngeal

35
vagus
motor - to pharynx, larynx, and soft palate and parasympathetic innervation
36
Lesion of Glossopharyngeal and Vagus could lead to
loss of taste, loss of gag reflex, dysphagia, vocal quality
37
treatment considerations to glossopharyngeal and vagus
swallowing issues should be evaluated by SLP be aware of offering liquids to a patient with suspected swallowing issues
38
Spinal Accessory
Rotate head, Elevate scapula
39
Hypoglossal
eating, speech appearance of the tongue - deviate to WEAKER side
40
the part of the exam that provides us with an awareness of the environment essential part of the assessment examination of conscious sensation
sensory exam
41
which two major sensory pathways that are examined
anterolateral system and dorsal column-medial lemniscus (DCML)
42
sensory deficit from a cerebral or brainstem lesion usually occur in a
unilateral distribution
43
a sensory deficit from a spinal cord injury usually occur in a
paraplegic or tetraplegic distribution
44
a sensory deficit from a spinal nerve lesion will be a
dermatome distribution
45
sensory deficit from a peripheral nerve lesion will be in the distribution of that
peripheral nerve
46
esnory deficit from a polyneuropathy will have a ____ distibution because the longest axons are the most effected
stocking and glove
47
Pain and Temperature
Anterolateral system
48
Joint position sense, pressure tocuh, vibration
DCML
49
light touch is represented in both the ___ and ___ system
ALS and DCML
50
Important part of patient preparation
patient should not be fatigued occlude the patients vision during the testing
51
sequencing of the exam
- superficial, deep, combined cortical sensations - compare bilaterally - organization based on patient presentation/diagnosis
52
Light Touch
cottob ball, tissue demonstrate to patiet close eyes ask to response every time they feel the sensation provide variability by asking the patient when no sensation is being applied
53
Pain perception - superficial exam
share and dull paperchip or reflex hammer demonstrate procedure, defining sharp and dull ask pt to close eyes hold in place several seconds
54
temperature awareness - superficial exam
metal handle of reflex hammer, hot/cold water demonstrate procedure of defining cold ask pt to close eyes
55
vibration Perception - deep
vibration perception examines ability to perveive a vibratory stimulus tuning fork, eyes closed, ask the pt if they feel any vibration
56
pressure touch - deep
not usually assessed formally in PT examination deep vs light pressure semmes-weinstein monofilament testing
57
lateral corticospinal tract - direct connections
signals travel from the motor cortex to the alpha motor neurons of the spinal cord
58
lateral corticospinal tract - indirect connections
bidirectional connections with extrapyramidal motor system (basal ganglia, cerebellum, brainstem)
59
Ventromedial Pathways
controlled by brainstem innervate axial and antigravity muscles and help keep head positioned during dynamic activities
60
motor neurons that are in the medial part of the ventral horn
tectospinal tract vestibulospinal tract reticulospinal tract
61
generally performed prioer to transferring the patient, abnormal findings are identified and lead to a more detailed ROM and strength
motor exam: screen
62
things you can observe/inspect for motor skills
posture.positioning, movement, muscle mass (bulk, contour, symmetry, look for atrophy or hypertrophy)
63
Present when muscles are resting, may go away or become less noticeable with activity of the muscles that are involved, "pill-rolling" temor
resting tremor
64
oscillations that are exaggerated at the end of the voluntary movement, will often disappear while the affected body part is at rest, seen with cerebrallar pathologies
action/intention tremor
65
resistance of muscle to passive stretch when the patient attempts to maintain muscle relaxation
muscle tone
66
flaccidity
a type of paralysis in which a muscle becomes osft and yields to passive stretching
67
hypotonia
reased muscle tone
68
spastic hypertonia
a motor disorder characterized by a velovity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes with exaggerated tendon jerks
69
rigid hypertonia
stiffness separate from the degree of movement
70
dystonia
unintended muscle contractions that cause slow repetitive movements or abdnormal postures that can sometimes be painful
71
Muscle Tone Assessment
can be difficult in proximal muscles, issues with inter-ratr reliability, noticed signs of abnormal tone on observation
72
decorticate rigidity
occurs from disruption of influence from the cerebral cortex, spasticity of the flexor muscles of the upper extremity, extensors of the lower extremity
73
decerebrate rigidity
occurs from disruption of excitatory input to brainstemp nuclei, spasticity of the antigravity (extensors) muscles of the entire body
74
Spasticity
Manifestation of UMN lesion (damage to corticospinal pathways) "catch" or a very stiff limb that cannot be moved passively tone state is velovity dependent MAS
75
Ridigidy/Rigid Hypertonia
"lead pipe or cogwheel" resistance to passive movement seen in Parkinson's Disease
76
Flaccidity and Hypotonia
often seen with LMM lesions and damage to the cerebellum less resistance than expected to passive elongation of the muscle may see temporary flaccidity (days-weeks) after a CVA or SCI due to cerebral or spinal shock
77

smoothness, initiation, cessation, fractionation, vary velocities
78
ability to execute smooth, accurate, controlled movement
coordination
79

Ataxia - dysdiadochokinesia - dysmetria - intention tremor

purposes of coordination examination determine. . .
85

the ability to hold the position of an individual limb or limb segment
fixation/limb holding
89
Finger to nose
Pt is asked to alternately touch his/her nose and tip of examiner's finger observe - reciprocal mvoment -movement composition -time to perform designated amount and number of errors
90
Heel to Shin
heel is placed on opposite shin and run up to the knee and back down to the ankle observe -performed quickly and without interruption or side to side wavering -unsteady movement and unable to maintain contact batween the heel and tibia crest -time to perform designated amount
91
