Neuro

Question 1

Brief purposeless, involuntary mvmts of distal extremities and face

Answer 1

Chorea

Question 2

Involuntary, nonrepetitive, but occasionally stereotyped in varies combinations (proximal, distal,axial)

Answer 2

Dyskinesia

Question 3

What results from sustained abnormal postures and disruptions of ongoing mvmts from alternating muscle tone?

Answer 3

Dystonia

Question 4

Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy

Answer 4

Weakness of proximal joints, voluntary muscle weakness
behavioral/learning disabilities

Question 5

Myoclonus

Answer 5

Brief, rapid contraction of a muscle or group of muscles

Question 6

Tics

Answer 6

Brief, rapid, involuntary movements, often resembling fragments of normal motor behavior

Question 7

Tremors

Answer 7

Rhythmic, alternating, oscillatory movements produced by repetitive patterns of muscle contraction and relaxation

Question 8

Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Answer 8

Weakness of voluntary muscles of the shoulders, hips, thighs, and upper back. (Breathing may also be affected)

Question 9

Congenital Myasthenia Gravis

Answer 9

Disorder involving muscle weakness and fatigue

Question 10

Characot Marie-Tooth Disease

Answer 10

Disease involving the peripheral nerves marked by progressive weakness

Question 11

Becker’s Muscular Dystrophy

Answer 11

variant of duchenne’s slower progression, less severe and predictable
loss of motor function of hips, thighs, pelvic area, shoulders
enlarged calves
possible cardiac involvement

Question 12

Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy

Answer 12

involves proximal muscles of the pelvis and shoulder are affected
progresses slowly

Question 13

Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

Answer 13

involves face, upper arms, and scapular region, causing masking, weakness, decreased mobility of the face and limited shoulder ROM

weakness may extend to abs and hip muscles

Question 14

Discrete tasks:

Answer 14

Specific beginning and end of a single movement (flipping switch)

Question 15

Serial tasks:

Answer 15

Continuous discrete motor skills to make a whole activity (typing a letter)

Question 16

Continuous tasks:

Answer 16

Arbitrary beginning and end of the action, repetitive mvmts (walking)

Question 17

Closed tasks

Answer 17

Stable environment and predictable and consistent performance over time (picking up a cup)

Question 18

Open tasks

Answer 18

Require people to make adaptive decisions unpredictable events because objects within the environment are in random motion during the task (walking in a park)

Question 19

Intention tremor

Answer 19

Worsening of action tremor as the limb approaches a target in space

Question 20

Dysmetria

Answer 20

undershooting (hypometria) or overshooting (hypermetria) of a target

Question 21

Dyssnergia

Answer 21

breakdown in mvmt. resulting in joints being moved separately to reach a desired target as opposed to moving in a smooth trajectory

Question 22

Dysdiadochokinesia

Answer 22

impaired ability to perform rapid mvmt alternating mvmt

Question 23

Ataxia

Answer 23

loss of motor control including tremors dysdiadochokinesia, dyssynergia, and visual nystagmus

Question 24

Resting Tremor

Answer 24

Involuntary tremor is an involuntary tremor noted in resting postures

Question 25

Rigidity

Answer 25

increased resistance to passive mvmt throughout the range

Question 26

Bradykinesia

Answer 26

overall slowing of mvmt patterns

Question 27

Akinesia

Answer 27

Inability to initiate mvmt.

Question 28

Athetosis

Answer 28

dyskinetic condition that includes inadequate timing, force, and accuracy of mvmts in the trunk/limbs; mvmts are writhing and worm like
