Multiple Sclerosis
This early sign of MS is often described as overwhelming, debilitating, and disproportionate to activity level
What is fatigue?
What is bradykinesia?
This involuntary movement disorder is the hallmark motor feature of Huntington Disease.
What is chorea?
ALS involves degeneration of which type of neurons?
What are upper and lower motor neurons?
This MND is characterized primarily by lower motor neuron dysfunction.
What is Progressive Muscular Atrophy?
GBS is an immune-mediated illness affecting these structures.
What are peripheral nerves and nerve roots?
This motor impairment is characterized by incoordination of movement.
What is ataxia?
Neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques are characteristic of this disease.
What is Alzheimer Disease?
Diagnosis of MS requires lesions in this many CNS locations and at this many different points in time?
What are two CNS locations and two separate episodes at least one month apart?
This PD phenotype generally has slower progression and a better prognosis
What is Tremor Dominant PD?
In late-stage HD, these two motor features often. replace chorea.
What are bradykinesia and hypertonicity?
Muscle twitching visible beneath the skin is known as this.
What are fasciculations?
This MND requires time to differentiate between Spastic Paraplegia.
What is Primary Lateral Sclerosis?
What is ascending?
This learning approach is best for individuals with cerebellar disorders.
What is errorless learning?
Hallucinations, Parkinsonism, and REM sleep disorder suggest this dementia subtype?
What is Dementia with Lewy Bodies?
This phenomenon occurs when increased body temperature temporarily worsens neurologic symptoms
What is Uthoff's Phenomenon
When using external cues for gait training in PD, this type of cue has stronger evidence.
What are auditory cues?
This type of walker may be helpful to improve stability and dampen excessive movements.
What is a weighted walker?
This respiratory measure below 50% predicts orthopnea and ineffective cough.
What is Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)?
What is Progressive Bulbar Palsy?
Dysfunction of this system may lead to blood pressure and heart rate instability.
What is the autonomic nervous system?
Peripheral neuropathy results from this pathologic process involving nerves.
What is demyelination or axonal degeneration?
This dementia is associated with impaired blood flow to the brain.
What is vascular dementia?
A patient with optic neuritis may present with these two visual symptoms
What are vision loss and scotoma?
Dysautonomia and severe orthostatic hypotension are hallmarks of this disorder.
What is Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)?
These changes often accompany cognitive decline in the middle stages of HD.
What are psychiatric changes?
Limb onset rather than this type of onset is associated with a better prognosis?
What is bulbar onset?
Hyperreflexia and muscle stiffness are examples of these signs.
What are upper motor neuron signs?
This modality is commonly used to facilitate motor recovery for individuals with Transverse Myelitis.
What is Functional Electrical Stimulation?
Compression and narrowing of this structure contribute to symptoms of myelopathy?
What is the spinal canal?
(or spinal cord)
Loss of empathy, poor judgment, and inappropriate behavior are hallmarks of this dementia.
What is frontotemporal dementia?
These two disease courses are associated with the fastest progression toward disability.
What are Primary Progressive MS and Progressive Relapsing MS?
An alien limb sign is most characteristic of this syndrome?
What is Corticobasal Degeneration?
Huntington Disease's has this type of inheritance pattern.
What is autosomal dominant?
Progressive resistance exercise should generally be avoided unless this prerequisite is met.
What is full available range of motion against gravity?
Damage to this type of neuron causes atrophy, fasciculations and hyporeflexia.
What is a lower motor neuron?
Following recovery, individuals with GBS may experience this painful/uncomfortable symptom long term.
What is neuropathy?
This intervention is often necessary to stop neurologic progression.
What is surgery?
What is procedural (implicit) memory?
