PD Flashcards
Motor BG functions
Initiation (reaction time)
Selection and recruitment (movement time)
Sequence (recruitment order)
Rigidity
resistance to passive movment
hypokinetic
movement doesn’t occur when it should
hyperkinetic
movement occurs when it should not
unknown process; may be indirect effects of BG on reticulospinal tracts
Rigitity
impaired initiation of movement
akinesia
decreased amplitude and velocity of movment
bradykinesia
hypokinetic disorders are usually accompanied by tone changes
rigitity
excessive involuntary movment
dyskinesias
tremor
rhythmic, involuntary, oscillatory movements
athetosis
slow, writing movemnt of extremities
chorea
jerky, random limb and orofacial movements
ballism
violent, large amplitude proximal limb movement
dystonia
sustained postures and slow con-contractions
tic
brief, repetitive, involuntary movements
most common non motor BG function
cognitive
bradyphrenia
speed of mental processing
common cognitive problems
bradyphrenia, executive function, discrimination, memory, motivation and reward, dementia
neurobehavioral symptoms
compulsion, obsessive and addictive behaviors
hyperactive behavior- agitation, isolation, euphoria, or anxiety
hypokinetic behavior -apathy
Non-motor BG functions
cognitive deficits, neurobehavioral symptoms, sleep disorders, loss of ANS control (constipation, blood flow (hypotension) swallowing and speech volume, ED)
Fatigue
Loss of sense of smell
Depression
Average age of PD diagnosis
60
