Neurological Dysfunction Flashcards
D1 flexion LE

ADD
ER
What is encephalitis
Severe infection and inflammation of the brain
What is C in ASIA
Incomplete.. motor function preserved below but have less than 3
What is Parkinson’s Disease
Chronic and progressive disease of CNS it’s degeneration of dopaminergic substantia nigra neurons and nigrostriatal pathways
The Trendelenberg Sign indicates….
Weak abductors
What are the classic symptoms of Parkinson’s
Rigidity
Bradykinesia
Resting tremor
Impaired postural reflexes
What is Relapsing-Remitting MS
Discrete attacks of neurological deficits (relapses) with either full or partial recovery (remission) in subsequent weeks or months
What is Multiple Sclerosis
Chronic, progressive, demyleninating disease of CNS
What is Guillain-Barré syndrome
Polyneuritis with progressive muscular weakness that develops rapidly
What is cerebral embolism
Traveling bits of matter that produce occlusion and infarction in the cerebral arteries
What is D ASIA
Incomplete… motor preserved and most muscles have 3 or more
What is progressive relapsing MS
steady deterioration from onset but with occasional acute attacks.. intervals between attacks are continuing disease progression
What is Myasthenia gravis
Progressive muscular weakness and fatigability on exertion
What is B in ASIA
Incomplete.. sensory but not motor function is preserved below level

ADD

What is D1 flexion UE
Flexion
ADD
ER
What is cerebral hemorrhage
Abnormal bleeding as a result of a blood vessel rupturing
What is Primary Progressive MS
disease progression and a deterioration in function from onset.. patients may experience modest fluctuations in neurological disability but discrete attacks don’t occur
What is Bulbar palsy
Weakness or paralysis of the muscles innervated by the motor nuclei of the lower brainstem
Affects face, tongue, larynx, pharynx
D2 flexion LE
Flexion
ABD
IR
What is nystagmus
Involuntary, cyclical movement of the eyeball
What group of drugs are for MS
Interferon
How many stages of recovery are there for strokes
6
What is a focal lesion
Contusions, lacerations
Describe all stages of recovery for strokes
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
What is A for ASIA Scale
Complete SCI, no motor/sensory function is preserved
What is tetraplegia (quadriplegia)
Involves all four extremities and trunk
Scissoring indicates…
Spastic adductors
D1 extension LE

ABD
IR
Etiology of myasthenia gravis
Autoimmune antibody-mediated attack on acetlycholine receptors at neuromuscular junction
Three etiological categories of Cerebrovascular Accidents
Thrombosis
Embolism
Hemorrhage
What is cerebral thrombosis
Formation of a blood clot or thrombus within the cerebral arteries
What is E ASIA
Normal
Is diffuse anomaly injury a primary or secondary brain damage
Primary
What is paraplegia
LE and trunk affected
What is secondary progressive MS
initial relapsing-remitting purse followed by a change to a press ice course with a steady decline in function, with or without acute attack

What are the scores for the ASIA Impairment Scale
A B C D E
What is diffuse axonal injury
Disruption and tearing of axons and small blood vessels from shear-strain of angular acceleration
