29
Q

characteristics of muscle tone assessment can be one of three things

A
  • normal
  • decreased
  • increased
30
Q

if the muscle tone assessment shows muscle tone to be increased in tone what does that indicate

A

UMNL

31
Q

if the muscle tone assessment shows muscle tone to be decreased what does that indicate

A

LMNL

32
Q

two types of increased muscle tone

A
  • spasticity

- rigidity

33
Q

increased muscular resistance felt by the examiner during quick joint movement

A

spasticity

34
Q

what is the term for when spasticity is present but then is quickly fades away

A

clasped knife

35
Q

spasticity is associated with a lesion in which pathway

A

cortical or pyramidal (UMNL)

36
Q

an involuntary muscular resistance felt when moving a resting joint and persists as the joint is moved through its entire ROM

A

rigidity

37
Q

gooseneck

A

rigidity

38
Q

rigidity is associated with a lesion in which pathway

A

extrapyramidal (UMNL)

39
Q

could be related to muscle spindle mechanism interference from diseased extrapyramidal structures

A

rigidity

40
Q

causes or indications of hypotonia

A
  • neurological damage at level of reflex arc (LMNL)

- cerebellar disease causing diffuse hypotonia

41
Q

may occur following acute, severe upper motor neuron damage in either the brain or the spinal cord

A

neural shock

42
Q

neural shock is a phenomenon that is related to vascular shock

A

FALSE

43
Q

what is the initial examination finding for neural shock

A

peripheral neurological findings

44
Q

loss of neurologic function

A

deficit phenomena

45
Q

exagerations or perversions of normal neurological function and are due to a loss of cortical inhibition

A

release phenomena

46
Q

hyper-reflexia, hypertonia, and pathological reflexes are examples of what

A

release phenomena

47
Q

all neurological signs can be divided into what

A
  • deficit phenomena

- release phenomena

48
Q

LMNL can produce both deficit and release phenomena

A

FALSE; only deficit phenomena

49
Q

when a muscle is passively stretched and its fibers actively resist the stretching and enter into an entire state of increased and sustained tension

A

the stretch reflex

61
Q

the proper way to perform the muscle tendon reflex if it does not work when striking the tendon is to strike the muscle belly

A

FALSE; never strike the muscle belly

62
Q

reinforcement may be carried out according to which method
