Neuromuscular and Nervous Systems Flashcards
what is preserved for posterior cord syndrome
motor function
what separates the occipital lobe into superior and inferior halves
calcarine sulcus
sensory nerves originate in the ______ while motor nerves originate in ______
sensory: dorsal root ganglia
motor: anterior horn of spinal cord
reflex grade of 4+ indicates
very brisk/hyperactive
the reflex that supports gaze stabilization through eye mnovement that counters movement of the head
VOR
what is lost below the LOI for spinal cord
motor function
pain
temperature
In incomplete lesion usually caused by step one, which produces hemisection of the spinal cord
Brown-Sequard
what type of patient would use the Berg balance scale
one at risk for falling
Treatment focus for Down Syndrome
Maximizing fitness stability
Maximizing respiratory function
Education for caregivers
what strategy is elicited by a greater force, challenge, or perturbation through the pelvis and hips
hip
part of the brain responsible for emotional and social processing, involved with fear and pleasure responses, arousal, processing of memory, and formation of emotional memories
amygdyla
part of the brain that coordinates movement and assists with maintaining balance
cerebellum
Is lordosis excessive for DMD
Yes
Spina bifida type:
Non-fusion of the spinous processes of a vertebrae, but spinal cord and meninges are intact (no associated disability)
Spina bifida occulta
what separates frontal and parietal lobes
central sulcus
cells that cover the nerve fibers within the peripheral nervous system and form the myelin sheath
Schwann cells
Spina bifida type:
Presents with a cyst-like protrusion through the non-fused vertebrae (results in impairment)
Spina bifida cystica
a form of chorea that includes jerks of larger amplitudes
ballism
is motor afferent or efferent
efferent
what reflex allows for head/eye movement coordination
Vestibulaoocular Reflex (VOR)
sensation: ability to identify exact location of light touch on the body using a verbal response or gesturing
localization
brachioradialis tendon reflex
C5-C6
Focus for treatment for Prader-Willi
Postural control
Exercise and fitness
Gross and fine motor skills
sensation: squeeze the forearm or calf muscle
deep pain
Sex affected by Duschennes
Males
sensation: perceive the weight of different objects in the hand
barognosis
a syndrome of sustained muscle contractions that frequently causes twisting, abnormal postures, and repetitive movements
dystonia
purpose of Dix-Hallpike test
to determine if patient has BPPV or central lesion
sensation: identify a number drawn on the skin without visual input
graphesthesia
what makes CSF
choroid plexus
is anterior cord syndrome a complete or incomplete lesion
incomplete
Cranial nerve order
OOOTTAFVGVAH
sensation: identify an object without sight
stereognosis
