Q

What is cerebral hemorrhage

A

Abnormal bleeding as a result of a blood vessel rupturing

18
Q

What is Primary Progressive MS

A

disease progression and a deterioration in function from onset.. patients may experience modest fluctuations in neurological disability but discrete attacks don’t occur

19
Q

What is Bulbar palsy

A

Weakness or paralysis of the muscles innervated by the motor nuclei of the lower brainstem

Affects face, tongue, larynx, pharynx

21
Q

What is nystagmus

A

Involuntary, cyclical movement of the eyeball

22
Q

What group of drugs are for MS

A

Interferon

23
Q

How many stages of recovery are there for strokes

A

6

24
Q

What is a focal lesion

A

Contusions, lacerations

25
Q

Describe all stages of recovery for strokes

A

1 - initial flaccidity, no voluntary movement

2 - emergence of spasticity, hyper reflexive, synergies

3 - voluntary movement possible, but only synergies.. spastic

4 - voluntary control in isolated joint movements emerging. DECLINE OF SYNERGIES.

5 - increasing voluntary control out of synergy.. coordination deficits

6 - control and coordination near normal

26
