Q

What are the components of the Neuro Screen?

A

•Myotomes
•Dermatomes
•Deep Tendon Reflexes•
UMN signs

We need sensation, movement, reflexes, and to see if the issue is an UMN or a LMN, if it is indeed a UMN then we shall have to refer out.

Q

Purpose of assessing PROM

A
  • Assess ROM
  • Pain Provocation
  • Tone
  • Note difference between AROM vs. PROM
  • May be due to muscle spam/contraction,muscle tightness, neurological deficit, or pain

Q

GU system

A

Shoulder, lower back, or iliopsoas pain

It looks like a U, that shoulders can be an U and the lower back that it goes into the legs, and the iliopsoas they form a U.

So GI forms a form of an I and the GU forms the form of an U.

Q

Purpose of assessing AROM

A 
•Quantity of motion
•Quality of motion1
•Patient’s reluctance to move•
Pain provocation
•Compensations

These are all the things that you would want with proper movement and to see if they have them, or for some to wish to not have them.

Q

What is the purpose of palpating lymph nodes?

A
  • Looking for obvious swelling or redness
  • Cannot ascertain the pathology
  • May be a sign of CA, however it can also be
  • Virus
  • Bacteria
  • Allergy
  • Thyroid conditions
  • Food intolerances
  • It is a sign that the immune system is workinghard

Q

So uou have done the subjective, the pmh the OPQRSTUV and if it makes notice to require inquiry of the constituitional synptoms then we inquire.
And then if it indicates a need to prod more about a specific system, them we will look into a specific system more, and if it ipdoes not hint at a need for a specific visceral system then it is the realm of PT, and if they complained about the T6 and up then wea re interested in performing an upper quadrant screen, but if we are seeing that the dysfunction is from T6 and down, then we do a lower quadrant screen.

A

These screens are all the issues that can arrive and affect the body for its specific quadrant, and there are neuro, muscular, osteo, integumentary, balance, which is an offshoot of neuro,

Q

What is horner’s syndrome?

A 
• Sympathetic innervation of the eye is a 3 neuron arc
• Any compression of the these 
neurons will cause 
miosis, 
ptosis,
anhidroisis (dry skin)
Causes:
• Primary neuron lesion
• Brainstem stroke
• Tumors of the lung apex 
• Dissecting carotid aneurysm

Q

Lymoh nodes are supposed to be moved or are immibile?

25
Q

When would a call to the MD be warranted for muscular dysfunction?

A

When it is very likely that it is due to an UMN issue.

26
Q

What are possible causes of cyanosis?

A
  • High blood iron level, blue iron, its the color of steel
  • Cold exposure, blue ice
  • Vasomotor instability, the blood cannot open enough so O2 is not reaching the tissue, so blue
27
Q

Vertebral Artery Dissection

A

Dizziness, Cervical pain

28
Q

For the skin and nails, look at the integumentary slides.

29
Q

What are possible causes of Gray skin?

A

Increased iron, like war machine, it was gray.

30
Q

How would you distinguish if a patient had a weak elbowextension is due to a weak triceps or it is due to dysfunction of the C7 myotome?

A

C7 does also wrist flexion and it is the dermatome of the forefinger and the middle finger.

You would test those and see if they are with issue.

Same with all other myotome and dermatome matters.

We can also go and look at the reflexes, if it is just an atrophy issue, then why would it give us a dysrelexia?

31
Q

Diabetes

A

Paresthesia hands or feet

32
Q

UMN tests.

A 
Suppinator drift test
Babinski.
Hoffman's
Inverted \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ test.
And hyper reflexia.

All of these tell you that if the issue is UMN or LMN.

33
Q

What size is a lymph node supposed to be?

A

Less than a centimeter.

34
Q

C6

A

elbow flexion and/or wrist extension

These double job myotomes need to have both of their jobs assessed.

35
Q

SprainStrain

A

AnywhereAnywhere

36
Q

If the weakness is due to C7 myotome, is a UMN lesion oran LMN lesion?

A

This is LMN.

37
Q

Balance training
• Pt reports dizziness or balance problem.

Ex?

38
Q

Lymph nodes are tender or not tender?

A

Not tender, they really should not hurt.

39
Q

Vestibular dysfunction

Opiods use

A

Dizziness

Dizzziness

40
Q

Liver dysfunction

A

Right shoulder pain

41
Q

Reflex Testing

• Upper Extremity

A

C4 - Rhomboids, the myo was shoulder shrug
• C5 - Biceps the myo was the shoulder abduction
• C6 - Brachioradialis the myo was elbow flexion
• C7 – Triceps the myo was elbow extension
• C8 – Thumb ext the myo was the same
• T1 – Hypothenar emi-nence the myo was finger abduction

The C4 and C5 and T1 are really different from their myotomes.

42
Q

C8

A

thumb extension, FDP

43
Q

How often should AROM be done?

A 
• Done usually 1-2 times
• However if the PT suspects certain motions to be the pain generator the PT may• 
Repeat 5 to 10 times
• Sustained for 5 to 20 seconds 
• Change in speed
44
Q

Breast Cancer

A

Chest, back

45
Q

C7

A

elbow extension and/or wrist flexion

46
Q

Fractures

47
Q

Why would we look for gait and posture at the UQ screen?

A

Because maybe there is a UMN legion that is causing a problem with balance.

48
Q

Cervical compression/distraction• This is done during the

49
Q

T1

A

Finger abduction

50
Q

What are possiblecauses of pallor?

A 
•Albinism (albino)
•Lack of sunlight
•Anemia
•Internal bleeding•
Chronic GI bleed•
Cancer
•Syncope•
Stress
51
Q

Positive compression can indicate

A

Foraminal compression of nerve root

52
Q

The observation part of the screen is forst to have the therapist to look at what?

A

The gait and posture, wide gait, UMN issues.

53
Q

What are possible causes of yellow skin?

A 
Liver disease
• Gallstone blockage of 
bile duct
• Hepatitis 
• Ingestion of food high 
in carotene and vita-
min A
But really consider liver issues.
54
Q

Are we done with the observation after the standing, gait and posture?

A

Nope.

There is still the sitting observation.

55
Q

C5

A

shoulder abduction

56
Q

Cranial Nerve Assessment
• Difficulty performing any of the functions ofthe cranial nerves
• If the PT suspects Vertebral Artery Dysfunc-
tion

57
Q

Lung cancer

A

Chest pain, but spreads

Imagine that the very air burns, so as one breathes in the air spreads out and this burning breathe hurts.

58
Q

Cardiac dysfunction

A

Chest, neck, upper trapezius, left shoulder or arms

59
Q

Headache

A

Brain tumor

60
Q

What colors of the skin, should aPT observe for?

A
  • Pallor (pale)
  • Cyanosis (blue)
  • Yellow
  • Gray
