30
Q

muscle strength scale: normal strength

A

5/5

31
Q

movement against resistance, but less than normal

A

4/5

32
Q

movement against gravity, but not against added resistance

A

3/5

33
Q

movement at the joint, but not against gravity

A

2/5

34
Q

visible muscle movement, but no movement at the joint

A

1/5

35
Q

no muscle movement

A

0/5

36
Q

because the normal pod MSK exam occurs in the sitting position with the feet elevated (gravity eliminated), active movement of the foot and ankle against resistance implies what muscle strength?

A

2/5

37
Q

early loss of strength will usually be seen in which muscle?

A

extensor digitorum brevis

*test by having patient dorsiflex the toes

38
Q

more severe loss of muscular strength will be seen in what motion?

A

ankle dorsiflexion

39
Q

MOST severe loss of muscular strength will be seen in what motion?

A

ankle plantar flexion

40
Q

sensation proceeds along which courses in the spinal cord?

A
  1. posterior column

2. lateral spinothalamic tract

41
Q

if a patient complains of “burning, cramping” pain- what tract is affected?

A

lateral spinothalamic tract- (aka small fiber tract)

42
Q

which tract is for sharp and dull pain (nociception), temp, crude touch?

A

lateral spinothalamic tract

43
Q

which tract is for position, vibration, and fine touch?

A

posterior column

44
Q

if a patient complains of “pins and needles or electric shock sensation”, which tract is affected?

A

posterior column

45
Q

what is considered a normal neurological exam with SWM?

A

at least 7/10 areas detected

46
Q

what is the normal distance for 2-point discrimination?

A

5-6mm

47
Q

an absent achilles reflex after what age is considered normal/

A

after 80 y/o

48
Q

what is the spinal root level for the knee reflex?

A

L2,3,4

49
Q

what is the spinal root level for the ankle reflex?

A

S1,2

50
Q

what are the 5 potential areas of problems if you don’t get a reflex?

A
  1. intact sensory nerve
  2. a functional synapse in the spinal cord
  3. an intact motor nerve fiber
  4. NMJ
  5. competent muscle
51
Q

true or false- deep reflex is not dependent upon higher levels of motor function in the brain and spinal cord.

A

true

52
Q

describe the scale for scoring a deep tendon reflex.

A

4/4- hyperactive, clonus –> indicates UMN lesion
3/4- brisker than average, may indicate disease
2/4- average, normal
1/4- somewhat diminished
0/4- no response –> indicates LMN disease, peripheral neuropathy

53
Q

A

(is a superficial reflex or plantar response, L4, L5, S1, S2) UMN disease- dorsiflexion of the great toe and fanning of the other toes

54
Q

if a patient is able to stand on their tiptoes but not on their heels, what dose this suggest?

A

peripheral neuropathy

55
Q

if a patient is able to stand on heels, but not tiptoes, suggests what?

A

spinal lesion

Q

what is the impression?

A

same as diagnosis

58
Q

if a child is born in the breech position (buttocks first), what problems are more associated with this?
