26
Q

What is lateral medullary syndrome

A

a neuro condition caused by a blockage that leads to an infarction of the lateral medulla oblongata. This is an issue for the four cranial nerves that are housed in the medulla oblongata

27
Q

What is Wallenburg syndrome

A

another name for lateral medullary syndrome

28
Q

Which four cranial nerves are housed in the medulla oblongata and can be affected in lateral medullary syndrome

A

glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, hypoglossal

29
Q

What is myasthenia gravis

A

Autoimmune disorder that takes place at the neuromuscular junction.

30
Q

75% of people with myasthenia gravis have abnormalities of the _____. These patients also present with a (decrease/increase) in strength after a period of rest.

A

thymus, increase

31
Q

What are signs and symptoms of myasthenia gravis

A

Dysarthria, dysphagia, diplopia, fatigue, proximal muscles weakness, ptosis and facial weakness.

32
Q

Fill this table out in regards to nerve tension testing

A
33
Q

When using RAS or a metronome to reduce freezing of gait with your patient with parkinson’s disease, how do you know at what pace to set the metronome at

A

it should be 25% faster than the patients average gait

34
Q

In pusher’s syndrome, will the patient lean towards the hemiparetic side or the uninvolved side

A

towards the weaker hemiparetic side

35
Q

If your patient is experiencing pusher’s syndrome, what is likely the cause and prognosis

A

Damage to the posterolateral thalamus from stroke. Good prognosis, the brain can retrain itself

36
Q

Your treating a patient post stroke with pusher’s syndrome. Your student asks if they would benefit from an assistive device or additional manual support during ambulation, what is your response?

A

Using a cane with this syndrome is dangerous because they will only use the cane to push themselves onto the weaker side. The student should stand on the involved side rather than the uninvolved side.

37
Q

What does the glasgow coma scale measure

A

a person’s consciousness immediately post TBI

38
Q

What is the scoring system of the GCS, glasgow coma scale

A

It can be scored 3-15, 3 is most disabled and 15 is least disabled.

mild TBI 13-15
moderate TBI 9-12
sever TBI less than 9

39
Q

What are normal and abnormal values of ICP, intracranial pressure

A

normal is 5-15
abnormal is greater than 20

40
Q

If you suspect your patient has increased ICP, you should avoid (flexion/extension) of the cervical spine as well as vibration, coughing, and the Trendelenburg position.

A

flexion

41
Q

You suspect your patient is developing heterotopic ossification, what diagnostic imaging techniques would be utilized to confirm the diagnosis.

A

Bone scan if in early phases
Ultrasonography can detect HO two weeks earlier than xray
X-ray takes 4-6 weeks to visualize HO

42
Q

Your patient complains of recent hearing changes. He tells you soft sounds are hard to hear, loud sounds are muffled, and high pitched sounds are inaudible. Your patient is most likely experiencing

A. sensorineural hearing loss
B. Conduction hearing loss

A

sensorineural hearing loss

43
Q

Your patient complains of recent hearing changes. He tells you soft sounds are hard to hear regardless of the pitch, but loud sounds are muffled. Your patient is most likely experiencing

A. sensorineural hearing loss
B. Conduction hearing loss

A

Conduction hearing loss

44
Q

What are some common causes of sensorineural hearing loss

A

Ototoxicity
TBI
Meniere’s disease
Normal aging

45
Q

What are some common causes of conduction hearing loss

A

accumulation of wax
otitis media/middle ear infection
otosclerosis/abnormal bone growth in middle ear
Cholesteatoma/abnormal tissue in middle ear

46
Q

which cranial nerve has the protentional of being damaged in sensorineural hearing loss

A

vestibulocochlear

47
Q

What is weber’s test and what do the results indicate?

A

a tuning fork is struck and placed on top of the head and the pt is asked to report which ear the sound is heard louder in

the test is negative if heard equally
the test is positive for conductive hearing loss if the sound is louder on the affected side
the test is positive for sensorineural if the hearing loss is heard louder in the unaffected side

48
Q

What is Rinne’s test and what do the results indicate?

A

it assesses for unilateral bone conductive hearing loss by placing a tuning fork on the mastoid bone after it is struck until the sound is no longer heard. When the sound isn’t heard, the tuning fork is placed next to the auditory canal and asked to report when the second sound goes away.

If the pt cannot hear the tuning fork after it is moved to the canal from the meatus, it is positive for conductive hearing loss

Sensorineural hearing loss is positive if the pt stops hearing the sound next to the canal but the tuning fork is still vibrating.
