quiz 1: motor Flashcards
PT Diagnosis Vs. Medical Diagnosis
PT Diagnosis: effect of pathology on movement (L sided w R hemiplegia w gait balance)
medical diagnosis: look at pathology (L. sided ischemic stroke)
Why do a neuro eval?
- identify if disease process or impairment is impacting the nervous system
- localize the lesions: recognize patterns and deduce pathology
NAGI model of Disablement
Pathology –> Impairment –> Functional Limitations –> Disability
NAGI Model: Pathology -what is it -give 4 examples: Stroke TBI Parkinsons MS
underlying disease/defect occurs at the cellular level
1. Stroke: impaired blood supply to CNS bc thromboembolsim or bleeding – bld supply lost
- TBI: acute trauma to the brain - damage can be diffuse
- Parkinsons: specific damaged substantia nigra -tremor, rigidity
- MS: autoimmune CNS demyelination (lesions can be anywhere in nervous system)
NAGI Model: Impairment
- what is it
- give 5 examples:
Disruption of motor, sensory, or cognitive process
spasticity, sensory loss, bradykinesia, fatigue, thermosensitivity
NAGI Model: Functional Limitation
Limitation of performance at the level of the whole organism or person
inability to walk, balance, reach, stand, etc.
gait, balance, transfer, bed mobility, ADL, IADL
NAGI Model: Disability
decreased ability/inability to perform social roles
-unable to participate in society as did before
QOL
PT Exam for Impairment
sensory, motor, spasticity, ROM, etc
PT Exam for Functional Limitation
balance, transfers
PT Exam for Disability
QOL measures, self report measures
Lesion localization
- focal
- diffuse
- multifocal
- multifocal and diffuse
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)
coup countrecoup
coup injury is under site of impact
contrecoup is on side opposite impacted area
What makes up CNS
-what if lesion here?
brain, brainstem, spinal cord
lesion here is UMN lesion
What makes up PNS
-what if lesion here?
once nerve exits from the spinal cord
lesion here is LMN lesion
UMN Lesion
motor damage involved in CNS
LMN Lesion
motor damage involved in PNS
if clear that there is UMN damage, what do we know about the sensory system?
nothing, it is motor and not sensory
Dermatomal/Myotomal
if lesion in C1, everything that C1 mediates, motor and sensory, will be involved
myotomal–motor
dermatomal–sensory
C1 Myotomal LMN involvement
anything motorically innervated by C1 is involved
C1 Dermatomal LMN involvement
anything sensorically innervated by C1 will have sensory involvement
Peripheral Myotomal/dermatomal (c1)
only in the myatome or dermatome of that C1
CNS myotomal/dermatomal (c1)
it is not only that myotome or dermatome but everything below that level if it is in the cord itself
Non-myotomal/non-dermatomal
above the cord stroke: it is not a myatome or dermatome pattern but instead it is a diffuse weakness because it is above the cord.
lesion localization:
- CNS
- PNS
CNS: cortical, subcortical, cerebellar, basal ganglia, spinal cord
PNS: anterior horn cell, nerve root, plexus, in peripheral nerve itself
Validity vs Reliability
validity: does test measure what it claims to measure
reliability: repeatable: inter-rater reliability, intra-rater reliability
berg balance scale
test of falls (not of balance) 56= low risk of falls
<42 high risk of falls
