Parkinson's
Rigidity is an example of
Dystonia
This is the primary exam assessment to determine if a pt has BPPV.
Dix Hallpike
MS is this type of condition, characterized by the body attacking itself.
Autoimmune
Friedreich’s Ataxia has what genetic makeup
Autosomal recessive
Which gait type is a negative prognostic factor?
Postural Instability and Gait Disturbances
In this type of vestibular dysfunction, treatment is focused on training pt to use other systems for balance.
Bilateral vestibular hypofunction
This is a temporary reduction in physical and mental capacity related to an acute inflammatory event and represented by new plaques on imaging.
Exacerbation (or flare-up)
This disorder affects nerves distally before proximally and causes loss of sensation and motor output due to nerve damage
Charcot-Marie Tooth
Which H&Y stage is related to no impairments in balance but presents with bilateral symptoms?
Stage 2
The pathoanatomical cause of this is displacement of an otoconia free floating in the semicircular canals.
BPPV
Name the three stages in the pathophysiology of MS.
Inflammation, Selective Delmyelination, Gliosis
A patient presents to the clinic with an abnormal gait pattern, ptosis, difficulty talking and making facial expressions. What diagnosis are they presenting with?
Myasthenia Gravis
Parkinson's results in loss of dopamine in what area of the BG
Substantia Nigra
During the head impulse test, this is an abnormal response.
Hypoactive VOR: eyes travel with the skull during head thrust, corrective saccade in the direction opposite to head thrust to place eyes back to nose, Suggestive of diminished ipsilateral VOR
Hyperactive VOR: eyes overcorrect for the head impulse test. Corrective saccade is needed in same direction of head impulse. Suggestive of central vestibular dysfunction
In order to diagnose MS, there must be dissemination in…
Time and space
A patient with Guillain- Barre Syndrome has started inpatient rehab. What is something that you should be aware of when treating them?
Overtraining
Hallmark signs of PD
Rigidity, Bradykinesia, and Resting tremor
These conditions are contraindications for physical therapy.
Active Meniere’s, unrepaired canal dehiscence, perilymphatic fistula, uncontrolled migraine.
n this rarer form of MS, the patient may appear to have relapse-remitting MS due to the relapses. However, there is a progressive course with a worsening of neurologic function over time.
Secondary progressive
Progressive disease involving protein aggregates on the motor neurons of the brain and spinal cord
ALS
