Proprioceptio & Cerebellar Exam Flashcards
is important for motor learning and timing of motor activity
cerebellum
cerebellar dysfunction results in
decomposition of movements and dysmetria (under or overshooting of movements)
if Romberg test is abnormal with eyes open and closed it could indicate
cerebellar issue
if Romberg test is abnormal with eyes closed only it could indicate
proprioception (dorsal column) issue
if hopping on one foot is an issue with eyes open and closed it could indicate
cerebellar issue
if hopping on one foot is an issue with eyes closed only it could indicate
proprioception (dorsal column) issue
if squatting on one foot is an issue with eyes open and closed it could indicate
cerebellar issue
if squatting on one foot is an issue with eyes closed only it could indicate
proprioception (dorsal column) issue
dysmetria
inaccuracy in measuring distance
hypometria
undershooting
hypermetria
overshooting
if finger to nose test causes dyssynergia or dysmetria it could indicate an issue here
in cord or cerebellum
finger to nose to finger test is specifically testing this area since eyes have to be open
cerebellum
the only test to be performed with eyes open only! (the rest are eyes open and closed)
finger to nose to finger test
finger to nose to finger test is specifically testing this area since eyes have to be open
cerebellum
diadochokinesia test
performed with rapid turning of hands then tapping feet
abnormal diadochokinesia test indicates issue here
cerebellum
