Babinski sign indicates a lesion where?
Corticospinal Tract
Chaddock sign indicates a lesion where?
Corticospinal Tract
Oppenheim sign indicates a lesion where?
Corticospinal Tract
Where is the lesion where Gordon sign is present?
Corticospinal Tract
Schafer sign is present when a lesion is in what tract?
Corticospinal tract… I hope you have noticed a pattern by now
What two pathological reflex signs indicate a lesion above C5 in corticospinal tract?
Hoffman sign
Tromner sign
The rest are not specific about segmental level but still all are in corticospinal Tract
What sign could be elicited by a sharp forcible flick of Dr’s thumb against the patient’s middle finger?
Hoffman sign
What sign could be elicited by tapping the ball of the foot or tap the tips of the toe?
Rossolimo sign of the foot
What sign is elicited by stroking anterior tibial surface from superior to inferior?
Oppenheim sign
What sign could be elicited by tapping the volatile surface of the middle finger?
Tromner sign
What sign could be elicited by stroking the plantar foot from heel to metatarsals to big toe?
Babinski sign
What sign could be elicited by stroking the lateral malleolus from heel to toe?
Chaddock sign
What pathological reflex sign could be elicited by squeezing the calf?
Gordon sign
What pathological reflex sign could be elicited by squeezing the Achilles’ tendon?
Schaefer sign
What would be a positive response for Hoffman sign?
Flexion of fingers and adduction of the thumb. UMNL
What response would indicate a positive tromner sign?
Flexion of fingers and adduction of the thumb. UMNL
What response would be a positive rossolimo sign?
Plantar Flexion of the toes. UMNL
What response is normal when testing babinski?
Plantar Flexion of the foot
What response would be abnormal when testing babinski?
Dorsiflexion of great toe and flaring of the other toes. UMNL
When testing for chaddock sign, would no motion of the toes and foot be an abnormal or normal response?
No movement would be normal
What would be an abnormal response when testing for Chaddock sign?
Dorsiflexion of great toe and flaring of the other toes. UMNL
No movement of the toes would be a normal response when testing for what 4 signs?
Chaddock
Oppenheim
Gordon
Schafer
Dorsiflexion of great toe and flaring of other toes would be an abnormal finding for what 5 signs?
Babinski Chaddock Oppenheim Gordon Schaefer
What sign is indicated by planter Flexion of the toes? And what sign is that response considered normal?
Rossolimo sign of the foot is positive with plantar Flexion. UMNL
Babinski would elicit that response as normal.
Hoffman sign indicates a lesion where?
Above C5 in corticospinal tract
