Sensory Powerpoint Flashcards
Presbycusis means? associated with these 3 things?
sensorineural hearing loss
slower gait, mortality, and poor cognition
Conductive hearing loss happens where? pattern?
dysfunction of external ear, middle ear, all frequencies
Conductive hearing loss
+ weber which ear does it lateralize to
+ Rhines test is
+ Weber: lateralize to bad ear
+ Rhine: BC > AC
sensineural hearing loss
+ weber which ear does it lateralize to
+ Rhine test is
+ Weber: lateralize to good ear
+ Rhine: AC> BC
slope for aging- x and y axis, 4 fs
x axis = age
y axis = vigor
fun, functional, frail, failure
What is sarcopenia?
age-related decline in MUSCLE MASS
What is Dynapenia?
age-related decline in STRENGTH
loss of this muscle fiber will affect strength and power
type 2
what is Cachexia?
decline in muscle/body wasting that does not respond to nutritional support
what is the difference between cachexia and sarcopenia
SARCOPENIA: strength training exercise can help patients increase strength
CACHEXIA: dietary and strength training doesn’t cause change * prevent this condition
how to calculate max HR
220 - age
how to calculate heart rate range for aeorabic activity
(HR max - resting heart rate x % range ) + RHR = range high and low end

Pudding consistency
liquid is cohesive enough to hold its shape on the spoon.
cannot drink through a straw or from a cup, need to use a spoon.
Thinning of skin causes
Decubitus injuries
True or False - Loss of touch, pressure, temperature, pain, proprioception most often due to disease process rather than normal aging process
True
Meissner’s corpuscles do what
touch / texture
Pacinian corpuscles do what
pressure / vibration
Krause corpuscles do what
temperature
A loss here will cause reduced sensory interpretation
cerebral cortex
