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

31
Q

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

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

37
Q

gooseneck

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

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

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

50
Q

biceps

A

C5, musculocutaneous

51
Q

brachioradialis

A

C6, radial

52
Q

triceps

A

C7, radial

53
Q

finger flexion

A

C8, median, ulnar

54
Q

what is the wexler scale

A

grading system for reflexes (0, +1, +2, +3, +4)

55
Q

reflex grading system: absent with reinforcement

56
Q

reflex grading system: hypoactive with reinforcement

57
Q

reflex grading system: normal

58
Q

reflex grading system: hyperactive

59
Q

reflex grading system: hyperactive with transient clonus

60
Q

reflex grading system: hyperactive with sustained clonus

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

A

jendrassik

63
Q

give an example of a jendrassik method

A

when testing the patellar reflex the patient is asked to hook their fingers and try to pull them apart at the time the reflex is being tested; as a distraction
