Q

Why do a neuro eval?

A
  1. identify if disease process or impairment is impacting the nervous system
  2. localize the lesions: recognize patterns and deduce pathology

Q
NAGI Model: Pathology
-what is it
-give 4 examples:
Stroke
TBI
Parkinsons
MS
A

underlying disease/defect occurs at the cellular level
1. Stroke: impaired blood supply to CNS bc thromboembolsim or bleeding – bld supply lost

  1. TBI: acute trauma to the brain - damage can be diffuse
  2. Parkinsons: specific damaged substantia nigra -tremor, rigidity
  3. MS: autoimmune CNS demyelination (lesions can be anywhere in nervous system)

Q

Lesion localization

  • focal
  • diffuse
  • multifocal
  • multifocal and diffuse
A

based on characteristics of lesion can assume location

  • focal: in one spot (specific sx) [parkinsons]
  • diffuse: many regions [MS]
  • multifocal: many foci [alzheimers in various lobes]
  • multifocal and diffuse: TBI (force through frontal lobe and forced to other side of the brain and diffuse in btwm)

Q

Non-myotomal/non-dermatomal

Q

Specificity vs Sensitivity

A

specificity: able to pick up various signs and sx of pathology

Sensitivity - able to rule out other pathologies

28
Q

motor exam to test?

A

muscle strength (force output), motor function (tasks), motor control (nervous system with muscle relationship) - motor force and timing

locate the lesion

examine for symmetry, hypertrophy Psuedohypertrophy in duchennes), atrophy

29
Q

what is muscle tone

A

normal resting state of muscle, normal tension of muscle, created by ongoing activities of Motor Unit recruitment

30
Q

Types of Decreased/Increased Tone

A

Decreased: hypotonia, flaccidity

Increased: hypertonia, spasticity, rigidity

31
Q

Spasticity

A

velocity dependent reaction to stretch

  • increased “gain” of the stretch reflex
  • hallmark of the UMN syndrome
  • hyperactive reflex to stretch
  • must be CNS (motoric involvement) [not PNS]

A

Modified Ashworth Scale
0: no increase in tone
1: slightly increased tone/ catch and release/ min resistance at end of ROM
1+: slightly increased tone/ a catch/ minimal resistance throughout the remainder of ROM (less than 1/2)
2: More marked increase in muscle tone through most of the ROM, but affected part(s) easily moved
3: Considerable increase in muscle tone, passive movement difficult
4: Affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension

33
Q

exertional spasticity

A

increased spasticity with exertion

34
Q

provocative testing

A

to see if spasticity under any conditions - spasticity is never normal (if a pt with CNS involvement does not show spasticity then rev them up to see what fatigue will do)

35
Q

Rigidity

  • cogwheel
  • led pipe
A

rigidity: non velocity dependent rxn to stretch
- cogwheel: successive catches and releases (parkinsons)

-lead pipe: stiff and not flexible that remains uniform throughout the range of passive movement (alzheimers)

36
Q

T or F: Spasticity indicates CNS involvement

A

T

37
Q

T or F: CNS involvement indicates spasticity

A

F

38
Q

flaccidity

A

minimal or absent muscle tone
minimal or absent muscle contractions to command or reflex
absent or diminished stretch reflex
—-if do a quick stretch no resistance will be felt

39
Q

What are the causes of flaccidity?

A
  1. Normal
  2. LMN lesion
  3. muscle damage
  4. component of spinal or cortical shock
40
Q

Can flaccidity be due to CNS involvement?

A

flaccidity can be do to CNS involvement = cortical spinal shock (stroke, SCI)

nervous system shuts down and get flaccidity below the level of the lesion for hours to months

rehab: work on rom dont let a contracture on involved side

41
Q

Diaschisis

A

shock

  • can be cortical or spinal (following cortical spinal injury)
  • period of flaccidity immediately following lesion, can last hours to months
  • unable to prognose until shock is resolved
42
Q

Upper Motor Neuron Syndrome-dx

A

TRIAD of symptoms following CNS lesions comprised of

  1. spasticity
  2. hyperreflexia
  3. pathological reflexes (clonus, babinksi)

Upper motor neuron syndrome (UMNS) is the motor control changes that can occur in skeletal muscle after an upper motor neuron lesion.

43
Q

Lower Motor Neuron Syndrome

A
  1. flaccidity
  2. hyporeflexia/arreflexia
  3. occasional fasiculations (muscle twitch)
44
Q

AROM Test

A

(see notes)

45
Q

Spasticity Eval

A

prom slowly to assess range limits then do quickly

may need to provacative testing by repeating

46
Q

Deep Tendon Reflex

A
  • –monosynaptic stretch reflex
  • –stimulus quick stretch of tendon with reflex hammer
  • -response: muscle contraction: visible motion with palpable or observational contraction
47
Q

DTR Technique

A
  1. locate and expose tendon
  2. tendon should be on relative stretch
  3. strike sharply with hammer at a 90 degree angle to the tendon
  4. use Jendrassik manouvre to reinforce (interlock fingers)
  5. alternate: strike muscle belly

A

0-ABSENT-no visible contraction

but not in parkinsons, no spasticity in parkinsons, have rigidity

55
Q

Babinski

what indicates UMN?
what indicates LMN?

A

plantar response
blunt probe down across sole of foot from heel to toe

  • negative: toe flexion an adduction, angle plantarflexion
  • positive sign: toes fan an extend, ankle dorsiflexion - indicates UMN
  • equivocal response: toes go up and down
  • no response: LMN lesion
  • triple flexion response: ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, hip flexion (so flexion x 3)
56
Q

Clonus

what indicates UMN?
what indicates LMN?

A

rhythmic beating of jt in response to sustained stretch-bring ankle from plantarflexion to full dorsiflexion and hold at end range.

normal: 1-1.5 beats
abnormal: 2-5 beats or sustained more than 5 beats (UMN)

absent: LMN or normal and just toned
