Right Hemisphere Disorders
This is the number one cause of Right Hemisphere Disorders.
What is CVA/Stroke?
These include Wernicke's, Transcortical Sensory, Anomic, and Conduction Aphasia.
What are the fluent Aphasias?
This cortical Dementia is the most common type.
What is Alzheimer's disease?
This type of motor deficit related to TBI results from cerebellar damage and causes decreased coordination.
What is Ataxia?
These include
1. Food and Nutrition
2. Physical Exercise
3. Medical Health
4. Socialization
5. Sleep and relaxation
6. Mental fitness
What are the pillars of brain health?
This RHD symptom is the inability to recognize faces.
What is Prosopagnosia?
This Aphasia is characterized by lots of self-correction attempts, fluent output, and impaired repetition.
What is Conduction Aphasia?
This is the second leading cause of Dementia.
What is Vascular Dementia?
These occur when the skull is not open, and meninges have not been penetrated.
What are closed head injuries?
This is when someone always looks the same in terms of their expression, and has difficulty understanding others' expressions/emotions. (symptom of what?)
What is flat affect (RHD symptom)?
This symptom is more of a predictor of reduced recovery than the size of the lesion.
What is neglect?
Symptoms of this include nonfluent & short output, difficulty with repetition, and hemiplegia.
What is Broca's Aphasia?
This type of Dementia is different from others due to the hallucinations that occur as a symptom.
What is Lewy Body Dementia?
These are a secondary mechanism of TBI, and occur when electricity between neurons is not firing properly or too much. They will cause setbacks in recovery, and have a negative impact on prognosis.
What are seizures?
These include: Communication, Visuoperceptual, Attention, and Neuropsychiatric.
What are the deficits and disorders of RHD?
This assessment tests language expression and comprehension, as well as visuospatial construction.
What is the ABCD (Arizona Battery for Communication Disorders of Dementia)?
These include naming, repetition, spontaneous speech, and writing.
What are the expressive language modalities?
Behavioral changes are the hallmark symptom of this disease. Symptoms also include loss of inhibitions, compulsive behaviors, changes in diet, and mouth centered behaviors.
What is Pick's disease?
This mechanism of TBI is when blood is clotted in the brain and takes up space.
What is Hematoma?
This is categorized by a gradual decrease in language ability, and there are 3 types: Agrammatic, Logopenic, and Semantic.
What is Primary Progressive Aphasia?
The implementation of strategies for functions that cannot be regained by the client.
What is Compensatory Treatment?
This intensive approach includes the forced use of affected modalities, with no compensatory strategies allowed, massed practice, and shaping of behavior.
What is Schuell's Stimulation Approach (Restorative Treatment)?
These block the neurons' transport system, harming synaptic communication between neurons and leading to Alzheimer's disease.
What are Neurofibrillary tangles?
Caused by a concussion, this is when there is an imbalance that causes cells to work harder to restore balance, so energy is drained.
What is a Neurometabolic imbalance?
These increase levels of neurotransmitter Acetylocholine, and are important for memory and learning.
What are Cholinesterase inhibitors? (Treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's Dementia)
