stroke Flashcards
anterior cerebral artery
- contralateral hemiparesis in LE
- contralateral hemisensory in LE
- urinary incontinence (ACA-ABCD-baby/kids-diapers=pee=UI
- problems with imitation, bimanual tasks, apraxia
- slowness, delay motor inaction
- contralateral grasp reflex, sucking reflex
think of LA (low on the map, thereferoe LE) and babies
middle cerebral artery
- contralateral hemiparesis in UE
- contralateral hemisensory loss in UE
- Language speech impairments - brocas, wenickes, global aphasia
- Perceptual disorders - unilateral neglect
- contralateral homonynous hemianopsia
think MCA=MPH (miles per hour), mph= mouth, perceptual disorder, homonymous hemianopsia
most common
where is broca’s aphasia located
frontal lobe
non fluent aphasia =
brocas aphasia,
broken speech
where is weknicke’s aphasia located
temporal lobe
receptive aphasia =
wernicke’s aphasia
speech is intact; they canot understand what is being said
if the superior division of the MCA is affected, what kind of aphasia do you see
brocas
if the inferior division of the MCA is affected, what kind of aphasia do you see
wernickes
unilateral neglect is seen with which CVA
R MCA
posterior cerebral artery (syndrome)
peripheral territory
- - contralateral homonymous hemianopsia
- visual agnosia - prosopagnosia (cant identify faces/recognize)
- dyslexia WITHOUT agraphia
cant read but can write
- memory deficits
- topographical disorientation
everything is a maze
central territory
- central post stroke
- thalamic pain syndrome
posterior - occiptal lobe - o SEE pi tal — visual defecits is common
R hemisphere CVA
- L hemiparesis and hemisensory loss
- visual - perceptual impairments (neglect)
- difficulty with visual cues
- quick, impulsive, safety risk
- rigidity of thought
- diffculty with negative emotions
- homonymous hemianopsia
think baby
L hemisphere CVA
- R hemiparesis/hemisensory loss
- language impairments (aphasias)
- difficulty with verbal cues
- slow and cautious
- highly distractible
- difficulty with positive emotions
- homonymous hemianopsia
Think old people
compare R v L hemisphere CVA
difference between synergy and spasticity
spasticity - rest - PROM
synergy - energy - AROM
synergy is compensatory movement
