Q

Neuro exam saying

A

18
Q

Parkinson’s classic triad

A

Bradykinesia- hard to initiate movement

Rigidity- Increased muscle tone- cogwheel, Jack-knife, monotone- swallow issues- face emotionless

Tremor at rest -pill rolling- prominent at rest/aggravated by stress/concentration

19
Q

Early signs of Parkinson’s

A

Unilateral
Mild tremor
Slight limp
Arm swing

20
Q

Later stages of Parkinson’s

A

Bilateral
Shuffle
Propulsive gait
Loss of postural reflexes
Speech pattern changes

21
Q

Dopamine is responsible for

A

Trunk support
Voluntary motion
Posture

22
Q

Complications of neuromuscular disorders

A

Respiratory - aspiration PN and respiratory failure b/c impaired swallow = aspiration= chest infection/PN

Nutrition - malnutrition and dehydration

Skin - pressure sores, infection, contractures

Elimination - urinary retention, incontinence , uti, constipation

Safety - falls

23
Q

What is significant about T6 level?

A

SCI above T6 decrease SNS
Bradycardia and vasodilation occur. =BP and venous return drops
Blood pools in legs
*Shock *

24
Q

What is significant of high Cervical SCI?

A

Above C4= respiratory loss
Phrenic nerve must function for below C4. Still affects ventilation (diaphragm muscles impaired).

25
Q

Injuries at thoracic level impact this

A

Abdominal muscles= can’t cough (protective )

26
Q

Post SCI assess these systems

A
  1. CNS - pain (spasm)
  2. Resp. - lung collapse (atelectasis), PN, etc
  3. Cardio - Brady, hypotension, DVT
  4. GI - hypomotility =constipation
  5. GI- retention, UTI, incontinence
  6. Skin- sores/ ulcers
  7. Musculoskeletal- atrophy, contractures
  8. Mental health - depression
27

Q

Which cranial nerves are motor

A

29
Q

Which cranial nerves are both sensory and motor

A

3 - occulomotor
5- Trigeminal
7- facial
9- glossalpharhyngeal
10- vagus
