what is:
Knee hyperextension/extension/flexion: 0/10/120
If a patient's gait speed is measured at 0.6 m/s during a 10-meter walk test, how are they classified in terms of ambulation status?
What is a limited community ambulator?
This condition causes severe, sharp stabbing facial pain in one or more branches of CN V
What is trigeminal neuralgia
What should be isometrically screened before trunk strength testing?
Flexion (rectus and oblique): neck and hip flexors
Extension: neck and hip extensors
This maneuver is used during reflex testing when a pt cannot relax, involving pulling hands apart or interlocking and contracting muscles.
What is the Jendrassik maneuver?
For the Thoracolumbar Flexion, where are you placing the dual inclinometers, and what is the equation for the total range?
What is:
The total range is T1 minus S2 values
Which assessment is described as a comprehensive test of six balance systems (including biomechanical constraints and sensory orientation) but is noted to be time and equipment intensive?
What is the BESTest?
This cranial nerve is screened by asking the patient to raise eyebrows, smile, and puff cheeks
What is the facial nerve
List the goniometric landmarks for trunk rotation (axis, stationary arm, movement arm)
Axis = center of head
Stationary Arm = aligned parallel to a line between the R and L ASISs, pointed towards rotation side
Moving arm = aligned parallel to R and L acromion processes
In a neuro exam, this type of sensory testing is preferred for dermatomal assessment and is typically performed using fingers or a cotton ball.
What is light touch?
Ascending the stairs requires what values of what movements?
What is:
Hip flexion: 93 degrees and ankle dorsiflexion: 10 degrees
Name at least three specific gait tasks included in the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) that evaluate a patient's response to changing demands.
What is Change in gait speed, horizontal head turns, vertical head turns, pivot turns, stepping over obstacles, tandem walking, walking with eyes closed, or walking backward.
This screening involves holding the index finger in front of patients face and look at one finger then the other without moving their head
what is voluntary saccades
What is the normal range of motion for the straight leg raise (hamstring length)?
70-80 degrees of hip flexion
A pt presents w/ sensory loss in the lat. leg and dorsum of the foot and weakness in big toe ext. -- this nerve root is most likely involved.
What is the L5 nerve root?
For the ankle plantarflexion MMT, what are the values and rep numbers for each?
what is:
5/5: 20 reps without rest or fatigue
4/5: 10-19 correct form
3/5: 1-9 reps
2/5: full range in prone
A patient completing the 14-item Berg Balance Scale receives a total score of 18. Based on the source's interpretation, what is this patient’s fall risk level, and what is the recommended clinical action?
What is high fall risk (0-20) and assistive device?
When you shine the light in the right eye, no constriction in either eye but when you shine light in the left eye, both eyes constrict leads to what. What happens at CN2 and CN3
what is CIII normal and CII damaged?
What can be determined if a Thomas Test shows the hip is elevated from the table with normal knee flexion, and when the knee is passively extended, the thigh drops to meet the table?
Tight Rectus Femoris
This neuro condition typically presents bilaterally w/ hyperreflexia, coordination deficits, and possible bowel/bladder changes.
What is spinal myelopathy?
