WEEK 1 Flashcards
EPIDEMIOLOGY MEANS?
Incidence/ prevalance
impact means?
burdens on individuals + society
Etiology means?
cause/ pathophysiology
clinical presentations means?
signs, symptoms, change, progression
clinical assessment means?
assessment tools
theraputics mean?
treatments/ rehab
what are the 4 types of burden?
- financial
- health care
- personal
- caregiver
_______: the proportion of people who have a condition at a given time
prevalence
this is an example of incidence or prevalence?
______ of a stroke in canada is ~ 2% but for > 65 its ~ 10%
prevalence
________ the rate or proportion of people who will develop a condition during a time period
incidence
this is an example of incidence or prevalence?
_____ of a stroke is ~14% of population per year
incidence
what are the hallmarks/ criteria of healthy movement control
- successful
- smooth (co-ordinated)
- efficient (minimal energy used)
- adaptable
- avoid injury
movement control requires control of __________
posture
two forms of adaptability
- rapid
solve immediate challenges (min, sec, msec) - longterm
learning new skill/ solution (hours, days, months)
what are some characteristics of parkisons gait?
- hard to initiate movement
- small movements (looks penguin like)
what are some characteristics of post-stroke gait?
- ipsilateral paralysis
affected leg:
- little to no hip flexion + knee flexion
so… they move foot out to side and push forward making a circle motion (circumduction)
unaffected:
- > risk for OA (knee and hip)
Arm:
affected:
-hypertonicity:
- alway bent
- fingers + wrist
rounded
- constant
contraction
- flaccidity:
- straight
- limp
- hangs loosely
what consists of a motor unit
alpha motor neuron + all muscle cells it connects to
is this upper motor neuron or lower motor neuron
- cell bodies located in cortex
- axon travels via corticospinal tract + synapses in brain stem
upper
is this upper motor neuron or lower motor neuron
- cell bodies located in spinal cord or brainstem
- sends out axons that directly innervate skeletal muscle
lower
