parkison from physiotherapy Flashcards
what are the motor symptoms of parkinson?
resting tremor
rigidity
bradykinesia
postural instability
gait festinating
macrophagic
masked facies
retropulsion
hypophonic speech
non-motor symptoms of parkinson
constipation
autonomic dysfunction
impaired olfaction
dementia
depression
sleep disorders
impulse control disorder
psychosis
what are the stages of PD?
prodromal PD
stable PD
unstable PD
advanced PD
palliative stage
what is the primary motor?
tremor
bradykinesia
rigidity
postural instability
what is the secondary motor?
freezing of the gait
lack of facial expression
micrograph
what is the pre-motor?
loss of smell sense
constipation
sleep disorder
mood disorder
low blood pressure when standing
orthostatic hypotention
what are the basal ganglia neclues?
striatum
the globus pallidus
subthalamic nucleus
the substantia nigra
A 70 to 80 percent loss of neurons occurs before symptoms become apparent.
true or false?
true
Direct pathway facilitates BG input to the thalamus and motor areas
true or false?
false, facilitates output
Indirect pathway disinhibits the STN and in turn inhibits thalamus and motor areas
true or false?
true
Loss of dopamine results in an overactive indirect pathway that is thought to underlie Akinesia and Rigidity
true or false?
true
Underactive direct pathway is responsible for tremor
true or false?
false, bradykinesia
It is felt uniformly in agonist and muscle only.
Spinal stretch reflexes are abnormal.
Rigidity is fairly constant regardless of the task, amplitude, or speed of movement.
Both Cogwheel & Leadpipe rigidity are found
true or false?
false, rigidity both agonist and antagonist
stretch reflexes are normal
rigidity affects the shoulders & neck first and later involves muscles of the face & extremities
true or false?
true
what is absent of movement?
akinesia
