Q

Favorable prognostic indicators:

A 
Female,
onset before age 35,
monoregional vs polyregional attacks,
and
complete recovery afterattacks

So females are shielded againstt he brunt of this problem, as is their symbol.

If they are young, so they have the ability to recover

If they do recover sfter attacks it shows that they area type of person that can recover well.

Adm finaly if the attack was at one area and not at mulitple areas, this can show that this person has a strong reislience to this disease.

You g strong shielded female, that has it at one area, and did recoverf rom previous attacks.

This shows that they would most likely do well.

Q

Unfavorable prognostic indicators:

A 
• Male,
brainstem symptoms (ataxia, nystagmus, 
tremor, dysarthria),
poor recovery after exacerba-tions
, &high frequency of attacks

So the men are apnot shielded,

If their attacks is on the brainstem, a major area, if they have had attacks and they did not recover well,and they are getting attacked over and over again.

Somwhy are they not recoveri well or getting attacked over and over again? They are very suceptinpble. They would most likely get attacked again.

And men do not have that shield that women have.

So these are not causes, but signs that these types of people are more likely to have a poor prognosis.

Q

• Inc. prevalence in areas farther away from the equator (>400 latitude)

A

So who is more inclined towards being affected by the heat, someone who has not ebeen acclimated to the heat.

Those are the people who are in the cold areas, so they are not used to the heat, and when it does get hot they csn become exacerbated.

But really we are speaking about those who seem to have a predisposition.

But anything that will alpw me to remenpber this.

So colder climates they are more likely to have ms?

Or those who are more likely to get MS live in the cold climates?

Nope, its really a cause, interetingly enough.

Q

The BBB is disrupted and triggers:

A

• Astrogliosis
• Production of a brain antigen called glial fibrillary
acid protein (GFAP)
• GFAP causes further disruption of BBB
• Mobilizes “activated” lymphocytes & macrophages to the scene.
• Macrophages initiate destruction of myelin sheaths & cell bodies of oligodendrocytes.
• Fibrous astrocytes fill the demyelinated areas & form the glial scar or plaque.
• Cytotoxic lymphocytes and macrophages are present in the plaques, leading to edema that can have a masseffect, simulating a tumor

Q

REMYELINATION AFTER EXACERBATION:

A

The survival of oligodendrocytes is the factor behind re-
myelination in early attacks
In later stages of the disease, no oligodendrocytes are
preserved, and remyelination occurs only at the bordersof the plaques, if at all.

If we can promote oglidendrocyte survival, even though the myelin will get destroyed they can get rebuild.

The issue with MS is not that the myelin gets destroyed, that nothing new, but the issue is that new ones do not get rebuilt.

Q

Relapsing-Remitting (RR)

A

Episodes of rapid, abrupt & unpredictable deteriorationwith variable degrees of recovery over time & minimal
residual disability
• Periods btw relapses are characterized by lack of dis-
ease progression
• Most common (85-90%)
• After 10-15 years, will develop into progressive MS in
30-40% of individuals
• 50% need assistive devices 15 yr post onset
• 40% with attacks rendering them nonambulatory
never regain ability to ambulate
• Characterized by clearly defined acute attacks with full recovery (A) or with sequelae & residual deficit upon
recovery (B). Periods between disease relapses are
characterized by lack of disease progression.

Q

Primary-Progressive (PP)

A

Characterized by a steady progression of continuous
worsening with minor fluctuations, but without distinct periods of relapses and remissions
• Plateaus rather than remissions
• Aka relapsing-progressive
• Tends to affect people who are older at disease onset• Approximately 10%
• Characterized by disease showing progression of dis-ability from onset, without plateaus or remissions (A)
or with occasional plateaus & temporary minor im-
provements (B).

Q

Secondary Progressive (SP)

A

Begins as relapsing-remitting (80%), followed by pro-
gression with or w/o occasional relapse, minor remis-
sion, or plateau
• The decline may include new neurologic symptoms,
worsening cognitive function, or other deficits.
• Begins with an initial RR course, followed by progres-sion of variable rate (A) that may also include occa-
sional relapses & minor remissions (B).

Progressive-Relapsing (PR)

A

• Steady progressive deterioration from onset with clear, acute relapses that may or may not resolve
• Periods between relapses are characterized by contin-ued progression
• Pace of deterioration can vary
• The least common of all MS subtypes
• Shows progression from onset but with clear acute re-
lapses with (A) or without (B) full recovery

Q

Relapsing and remitting is?

A

It is like what the classic stock market charts are. The person gets worse, and then gets better, but does not get as good as they were, and then when they relapse they actually now get worse than what they were.
Should really be called remitting and relapsing, or maybe because the person gets worse, they relapse, and then they calm down, they remit. This is why it is called relapsing remitting.

brainstem symptoms (ataxia, nystagmus, tremor, dysarthria), it is central, bad sign, and this can be senses as a polyregional of some sorts, because it is at the root of all issues, even though in the body it is monoregional, but the brain is so so important that it can be mpconsidered multiregional.
poor recovery after exacerbations, & high frequency of attacks, if they are not recovering well then it is bad.

Q

For those who fatigue is it better to rest or is it to work out?

A

To work out,

125
Q

If work out is okay for the person, is there any issue that we show be concerned about?

A

Their core temperature increasing.

126
Q

Why would steroids be able to help the exacerbations of MS?

A

Because they lower the edema and this will not allow the mass effect to be present, and then the local damage will not be had.

127
Q

Can there be remyelination after exacerbations?

A

Yes

128
Q

What cells do we need to make the nerves remyelinated?

A

Ogliodendrocytes

129
Q

Why is there no remyelination after some exacerbations?

A

Because the ogliodendrocytes are gone.

130
Q

The BBB is disrupted and triggers:
• Astrogliosis
• Production of a brain antigen called glial fibrillary
acid protein (GFAP)
• GFAP causes further disruption of BBB
• Mobilizes “activated” lymphocytes & macrophages to the scene.
• Macrophages initiate destruction of myelin sheaths & cell bodies of oligodendrocytes.
• Fibrous astrocytes fill the demyelinated areas & form the glial scar or plaque.
• Cytotoxic lymphocytes and macrophages are present in the plaques, leading to edema that can have a masseffect, simulating a tumor

A

.

131
Q

Typical lesions are in the…

A

periventricular region of thelateral ventricles and the optic nerves (often a 1st lesion)

132
Q

Just gets worse without getting better?

Primary progressive

135
Q

Most common thep of MS.

A

Relapsing-Remitting

136
Q

The classic stock market chart?

A

RR

137

RR

138
Q

When it gets better, it does not get worse progressively on that interim between the exacerbations?

A

Relapsing-Remiting

139
Q

It looks like a stock market chart it is progression but it is not progressive?

A

Once you hear that it is not progressive, you know that it is not Primary progressive or secondary progressive or progressive relapsing, it can only be relapsing-remitting.

140
Q

Secondary Progressive (SP)

A

Begins as relapsing-remitting (80%), followed by progression with or w/o occasional relapse, minor remission, or plateau
• The decline may include new neurologic symptoms, worsening cognitive function, or other deficits.
• Begins with an initial RR course, followed by progression of variable rate (A) that may also include occasional relapses & minor remissions (B).


141
Q

Why is it called secondary progrssive?

A

Because it turns into a primary progressive type, but it does not start off as primary progressive.

142
Q

SP, secondary progressive, it starts off as?

A

Relapsing and remitting

143
Q

After the relapsing remitting what can it turn into?

A

Secondary progressive

144
Q

How does secondary progress advance?

A

After it stops acting like a relapsing remitting it would act like primary progression.

145
Q

What is progressive relapsing?

A

Look at the name, does it progress? Yes, and does it relapse to become worse? Yes.
So progressive relapsing.

146
Q

Can relapsing remitting turn into a progressive form of MS, what?

A

Yes, secondary primary.

Q

What is the percentage of the those who develop secondary progressive from RR?

A

10-15%

148
Q

Tends to affect people who are older at disease onset type of MS

A

The elderly will have it worse than the young, sp this is PP.

149
Q

The least common of all MS subtypes?

A

Progressive-Relapsing, this one has the two types put together, so is it uncommon, to progress and to get worse all of a sudden, may we never have to see this, it is getting worse and then it jumps in the worsening, progressive relapsing.

150
Q

EDSS – Expanded Disability Status Scale

A

Range from 0 (normal) to 10 (death from MS) in 0.5 increments

151
Q

The EDSS is similar to the?

Q

0-10 for the progression of MS’s disability is to use which scale?

A

The EDSS, the Expanded Disability Status Scale

153
Q

What imaging will we make use for in MS?

A

MRI

154
Q

Why would we make use of MRI in the MS population?

To see if any new areas have become more demyelinated, new legions, new scars formed by the body on the. New areas that have become demyelinated.

155
Q

What are evoked potentials?

A

It measures the speed of the electrical conduction, this will allow us to see if there are any areas that have become demyelinated and then scarred.

156
Q

Allows us to see the speed of the electrical conduction.

A

Evoked potentials.

157
Q

What do we take out and measure to test for MS?

A

CSF

158
Q

What do we look for in the CSF to jpknow that there is MS present?

A

gamma globulin & WBCs

159
Q

Why an increase of WBC in the CSF to see if there is MS?

A

Because it tells us that the body has launched its autoimmune attack.

• FSS (Fatigue Severity Scale), how severe is the fatigue.
How severe is the fatigue and how much does the fatigue impact the person’s life.

214
Q

What can decreased electrical conductivity cause?

A

I would think that this can cause many many different things, but one thing that it does for sure is fatigue, because it would make it that the person would need to exert too much energy in carrying out their activities.

215
Q

Is the fatigue of the person with MS correlated to the amount of work they do?

A

No, it is more than what they are used to.

216
Q

What can increase the Ms’s fatigue?

A

Heat

217
Q

When does the person with MS have more fatigue?

A

Late afternoon and evening, this is similar to the non-MS person. That as the day goes on they will get more fatigued.

218
Q

What dompeople with MS think about exercise?

A

That it would cause further fatigue

219
Q

Why are people with MS more prone to forgoe exercising?

A

Because they think that it would promote their fatigue.

220
Q

If done how would exercise help to alleviate fatigue for someone who has MS?

A

Properly and correctly.

221
Q

People with MS when they start exercising they may develop faulty…

A

Movement patterns.

222
Q

tingling, pricking, numbness, pins &needles, “falling asleep”

A

Paraesthesia:

223
Q

abnormal sensations such as burning, itching, electric shock, wetness, tight banding

A

Dysesthesia:

224
Q

L’Hermitte’s Sign

A

• A shock like sensation in the spine or LEs pro-
duced by rapid neck flexion, as in coughing, and is
indicative of dorsal column demyelinating damage
• Not limited to MS only; can be caused by other con-ditions

225
Q

They bend their neck and it causes a tingling going down their spine. This is?

A

Le’rmotte’s sign

226
Q

Is lermittes sign limited to those with MS?

A

No

227
Q

For those with MS what is L’Hermitte’s Sign indicative of?

A

Dorsal column demylenation. Dorsal, posterior, because that is where sensories are at, and demyelination, because this is what happens with MS.

228
Q

What is one cranial nerve that can cause alot of pain?

A

Trigeminnal pain, CN V.

229
Q

tic douloureux is?

A

Trigeminal pain CN V

230
Q

Where in the brain is there demyelination of it would result in muscular weakness?

A

One can say that the periphery are affected, surely, but in the brain the area that is affected to cause muscular weakness for someone who has MS is…motor cortexor pyramidal tracts, the motor cortex of course, this is where the motor activities are planned out, so even though the muscles fibers are strong but their innervations is lacking,

231
Q

Is there decreased visual acuity?

A

Yes

232
Q

The person has a disruption of their vision for 2-3 days,what is this?

A

Optic neuritis

233
Q

Which one of these is not had by some one who has MS? Decrease visual acuity, visual field deficitis, blurred vi-sion, diplopia, transient or permanent blindness, loss of central vision, tracking problems, optic neuritis.

A

They can have any of these.

234
Q

Why is there spasticity in MS.

A

Because it is an UMN condition.

235
Q

When would we not see spasticity in MS.

A

When they have just taken their medications and are at the peak of their medications.

236
Q

Besides for spasticity what else will we see that is part of e UMN issue?

A

We see spasticity, hyper-reflexivity, and relexes that are not proper, like synergies maybe.

237
Q

What kind of heat issues do we need to worry about in those with MS?

A

Their core temperature raising

238
Q

Can exercise raise their core temperature?

A

Yes

239
Q

Uhthoff’s symptom:

A

a condition where small ’s in bodytemp cause worsening of sx (esp. of optic neuritis)

240
Q

What type of modalities is usually contraindicated for those with MS?

A

Heat

241
Q

If cerebellum is affected then what will likely result?

A

Ataxia

242
Q

Ataxia is usually caused by legions where?

A

In the cerebellum

243
Q

Besides for the cerebellum, where else can legions lead to ataxia?

A

Dorsal column

244
Q

Why would dorsal column cause ataxia?

A

Because they will have a lack of sensation and this would cause them to not be able to not feel and then they cannot know how to adjust themselves.

245
Q

What are two types of tremors?

A

Intentional and postural.

246
Q

What is intentional tremors?

A

A shaking when someone attempt tongo and grab something.

247
Q

What is postural tremors?

A

Emerges when pt attempts to maintain a pos-ture & may persist or worsen w/ goal-directed mvt of the limb(s)

248
Q

Which body parts does postural tremors affect more?

A

Affects more proximal ms, head/trunk may be involved

249
Q

In addition to pain from sensory disturbances (Dyses-thesia, L’Hermitte’s sign, trigeminal neuralgia), people with MS may have pain of other origins, for example…

A

Spasms from spasticity

250
Q
  • In addition to pain from sensory disturbances (Dyses-thesia, L’Hermitte’s sign, trigeminal neuralgia), people with MS may have pain of other origins
  • Spasms from spasticity, for example…
A

• Musculoskeletal pain from inappropriate & ineffi-

cient movement patterns due to weakness, disuseatrophy, & contractures

251
Q

Respiratory involvement commonly affects…

A

20% of patients with MS

252
Q

What are some reasons why people get respiratory issues?

A

Primary- loss of motor control to respiratory muscles

• Secondary- deconditioning, postural changes, aspiration pneumonia, medication S/E

253
Q

Can aerobic wxercise help those with MS.

A

Yes

254
Q

What gains will those MS have when they make use of aerobic exercise?

A 
Significant improvements in 
• VO2 max, 
• upper and lower extremity strength,they used resistive machines to get to the aerobic 
• decreases in skinfolds,
• triglycerides, 
• depression, anger, fatigue
255
Q

Can strengthening help those with MS?

A

Yes

256
Q

Would respiratory exercise help those with MS.

A

It did improve the expiratory pressure but Functional impact was not assessed.

So if you work out the respiratory muscles it should help your respiratory muscles, but if thisnwould impact the functionality of the person, this is harder to gauge.

257
Q

When is the body temperature the coolest?

A

In the morning.

258
Q

What are somethings that we can do to help the person with MS to remain cool?

A

A/C, cool clothing, cool immersion, ice packs, ice drinks, fans, all of these are aimed at lowering the body’s core temperature.

259
Q

Doesre-cooling last?

A

One study said no, and one study said upto an hour.

260
Q

Aquatic Therapy

A
  • Buoyancy decreases the amount of work, which may limit fatigue
  • Coolness may reduce thermosensitivity
  • Water may provide a resistive element for dysmetria and ataxia
  • Widely used and advocated, little research has examined its efficacy
  • 11 subjects with moderate disease
  • Effects of aquatic therapy on gait parameters
  • 10 week program of freestyle swimming and shallow water calisthenics
  • Results:
  • No changes in gait parameters
  • Decreases in subjective reports of fatigue
  • Improvements in muscular strength & endurance
261
Q

What is at the core of aquatic therapy?

A

It is less weights since the person is floating, they are cooler, and they are moving still so it does allow them to get stronger aerobically and strength wise.

262
Q

According+to+the+National+MS+Society’s+Medical+Advisory+Board
Rehabilitation+referral+should+be+initiated+
whenever+there+is+an:

A

“abrupt+or+gradual+worsening+of+function+or+
an+increase+in+impairment+that+has+a+signifi5
cant+impact+on+the+individual’s+mobility,+
safety,+independence,+and/or+quality+of+life.”

When they get worse to the point that they cannot function.

263
Q

What thpe of impairment from MS cannot be fixed?

A

Direct CNS impairment.

264
Q

What type of damage incured from MS can be fixed?

A

Indirect)impairments:
Caused)by)evolving)multisystem)dysfunction)))
from)inactivity)and)disuse)

265
Q

What is the three geenral idea of rehab?

A

You need to fix the problems that they have locally, then you need to fix the action that they cannot do, and then address the area of their life that they cannot participate in.

266
Q

What else is there for a PT to do for a person with MS besides improving the impairment, resolving the functional limitation, and allowing the person to return to their participations?

A
  • Assisting+the+patient+in+effective+coping+skills
  • Promoting+acceptance
  • Adjustment+to+limitations+and+disabilities+and+en5hancing+quality+of+life
267
Q

After the idea of restoring their abilities,mwhat must we do?

A

Make sure that they maintain their abilities, with preventative PT?

268
Q

What are some things that we do with preventative PT for those with MS?

A

Secondary!prevention
• Decreasing+duration+and+severity+of+symp5
toms
• Delaying+the+emergence+of+disease+sequelae+through+early+detection+and+intervention,+
termed

269
Q

Preventative is decreasing the symptoms?

A

Yes it is, because if the symptoms are decreased then that is a prevention of worse symptoms.

270
Q

Preventative is delaying the progression?

A

Yes it is, because if you prevent you are trying to not allow it to come about, so you prevent it from coming on now, even if it could come on later.

271
Q

So after restorative PT what is done?

A

Preventative PT.

272
Q

What is a focus of preventative PT?

A

To go and make sure that they have their symptoms less often, and when they have it to last less time, and when it is there to be less severe.

273
Q

Documentation+must+be+clear:Preventative+intervention+focus+on

A
  • Promotion+of+health
  • Promotion+of+wellness
  • Promotion+of+fitness
  • Preservation+of+optimal+function
274
Q

So we have restored and prevented what we can, but there are just somethings that they cannot do, what do we do then?

A

!Compensatory!intervention(

275
Q

What is compensatory that it is different than restorative?

A

Restorative is fixing, this is altering the person, but compensatory is fixing the environment, “nothing is wrong with the person its the world that is mistaken”

276
Q

!Compensatory!intervention(Modifying+the+

A

Task
+ Activity
+ Environment

277
Q

For compensatory Documentation+must+be+clear:

A
  • Reflective+of+compensatory+intervention+focus+on
  • Regaining+function
  • Maintaining+function

But not the most optimal way.

278
Q

What do we do for those who are have sensory deficits?

A

• Increase+awareness+of+sensory+deficits,make them aware that they have a lack of sensation, which ties in with promoting their safety, and then additionally we would want to have them compensate for their sensory loss.

Ex: someone who is hard of hearing must admit that they cannot hear well, and then they will be careful with crossing the streets and their overall surroundings, additionally it can be suggested that they get hearing aids to assist them with their hearing.
Compensate+for+sensory+loss
• Promote+safety

279
Q

If someone has proprioception loss what can they use to make up for it?

A

Visual

280
Q

If a person with MS has trouble seeing, who should they be referred to?

A

A low vision specialist

281
Q

Why would sensory loss lead to pressure ulcer?

A

They just do not feel that there is undo pressure on them, or that they are wet, or that their posture is bad, they may not feel like they need more nutrients, all of these things add up to make it that they will be able to get pressure ulcers.

282
Q

Every how many minutes is one supposed to reposition in bed?

A

Every 2 hours

283
Q

Every how many minutes is one supposed to reposition in the wheelchair?

A

Q15M

284
Q

Where can pain come from from someone who has MS?

A

The MS itself can give the pain, due to the damaged sensory nerve covering, then there is the pain that comes from the damages that results due to MS, back posture, pressure ulcers, walking badly,

So we have discussed more directly that which is with MS, the next one is slightly less to MS but it is still with MS, it is the pain that the medications of MS would cause, maybe the constipation, maybe just pain,

Additionally maybe there is pain just because of something unrelated to MS entirely.

285
Q

Can spasms cause pain?

A

Yes

286
Q

How to relief pain of the person who has MS?

A

Of course we MUST go and see which of our four categories is it that causes the pain.

287
Q

Patients+may+experience+relief+of+pain+with:

A

Regular+stretching
Exercise
Massage

288
Q

Lhermitte’s+sign
Stabbing+pain+with+trunk/cervical+flexion)
May+be+relieved+with+a

A

soft+cervical+collar+to+limit neck+flexion, since it would prevent neck flexion.

289
Q

Management(of(Chronic(Pain

A

Stress+management+techniques
Relaxation training
+ Biofeedback
+ Meditation

These are all things that someone would think is not really PT, but it is just what we can advise them to do.

290
Q

Does TENS work for chronic pain for people with MS?

A

Some it gets them better and some worse.

291
Q

When there is an exacerbation what donwe do to our exercise schedule?

A

We pause it.

292
Q

Strength(and(Conditioning(E(
FITT
Prescription+is+based+on+four+inter5related+elements:+

A

++Frequency+of+exercise
Intensity+of+exercise
++Type+of+exercise
++Time+or+duration, early day could be more possible, since they have not fatigued or have not heated up and that has not have them fatigue.

293
Q

What is an advantage of circuit training?

A

It splits the work between the UE and LE to lower the incidence if fatigue and increasing the time exercising.

294
Q

Cardiovascular(dysautonomia

A

HR(and(BP(responses(may(be(blunted

That the increase does not happen in line with the level of the workout.

295
Q

What tondo for spasticity?

A

Stretch

296
Q

How to stretch for spasticity?

A

Holding at end range: Minimum of 30-60 seconds

Repeated for a minimum of 2 repetitions

297
Q

Does cold therapy reduce spasticity?

A

Yes

298
Q

If a patient has spasticity, what can we prescribe for them?

A

Cold, seeking a physician to prescribe antispastic medications, stretching, PNF patterns.

299
Q

When is cryotherapy contraindicated?

A

Autonomic response increased

HR, RR, or nausea

300
Q

In terms of ESTIM what can we do to lower spasticity?

A

We can use it on the antagonists to the spastic muscles.

301
Q

When cryotherapy a contraindication?

A

When they have Autonomic+responseincreased+HR,+RR,+or+nausea

302
Q

What thpe of stretching is contraindicated?

A

Fast ballistic stretches

303
Q

Why are fast ballistic stretches contraindicated?

A

Because spasticity is velocity based.

304
Q

What type neurological treatments should be avoided for those with MS?

A

Brunstrum, because we do not want them to develop improper movements.

305
Q

Can relaxation exercises help those with MS?

A

Yes

306
Q

Which tone seems to dominate?

A

Extensor tone

307
Q

If extension is predominate, then how would you decrease it?

A

Have them do work when they are in flexion.

308
Q

Give an example of an exercise that would help extensor tone?

A

That they are hook-lying and a ball is between their legs and they are now in hip flexion and knee flexion, and then they are to be able to move their trunk.
