Neuromuscular Flashcards
What are the 2 types of CVAs?
- hemorrhage
- blockage resulting in ischemia (most common)
Blood clot
Thrombus
Moving clot
Embolus
Narrowing of blood vessels
Stenosis
Mini stroke with signs of CVA but no residual effects
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
One-sided weakness
Hemiparesis
Most common CVA symptom
One sided paralysis
Hemiplegia
Most common CVA symptom
No residual sensory/motor function found below the lesion (plegia)
Complete lesion SCI
Some distal motor/sensory functions can be prevented (paresis)
Incomplete lesion SCI
-
-
- maintain orientation in space
- control posture
- maintain balance
What is the most common diagnosis for vestibular system?
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo BPPV
Patches of demyelination in the nervous system. Idiopathic
Multiple Sclerosis MS
What are the 4 forms of MS?
- relapsing-remitting
- primary-progressive
- relapsing-progressive
- secondary-progressive
MS goes into remission (benign)
Relapsing-remitting
MS goes into remission and comes back
Primary-progressive
MS. Each episode leaves them worse
Relapsing-progressive
Doesn’t go away MS
Secondary-progressive
Deficiency in dopamine produced in the substantia nigra
Parkinson’s disease PD
PD classic triad
- tremors
- rigidity
- bradykinesia/akinesia
Rapidly progressive neurologic disorder associated with degeneration of motor nerve cells. Idiopathic.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Lou Gehrig’s
Traditional tx using multidirectional movement/patterns and sensory stimuli
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation PNF
Traditional tx. Predicts sequence of movements/activity based on stage
Brunnstrom Approach

- PNF
- Brunnstrom Approach
- Neurodevelopmental Tx NDT
Current Tx
- - - - -
- Motor development
- Neuroplasticity
- motor control/learning
- constraint-induced movement therapy CIMT
- locomotor training
Age-related process of change in motor behavior
Motor development
Ability of neurons to compensate
Neuroplasticity
Process of acquisition/modification of movement
Motor learning
Constrains uninvolved arm and engages affected arm during intensive training
CIMT constraint-induced movement therapy
Uses body weight supported techniques to facilitate automatic walking patterns
Locomotor training
Disruption of blood flow in the brain.
Cerebrovascular Accident CVA (stroke)
