What is a limited community ambulator?

200

This condition causes severe, sharp stabbing facial pain in one or more branches of CN V

What is trigeminal neuralgia 

200

What should be isometrically screened before trunk strength testing?

Flexion (rectus and oblique): neck and hip flexors

Extension: neck and hip extensors

200

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?

300

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

300

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?

300

This cranial nerve is screened by asking the patient to raise eyebrows, smile, and puff cheeks

What is the facial nerve

300

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

300

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?

400

Ascending the stairs requires what values of what movements?

What is:

Hip flexion: 93 degrees and ankle dorsiflexion: 10 degrees

400

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.

400

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 

400

What is the normal range of motion for the straight leg raise (hamstring length)?

70-80 degrees of hip flexion

400

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?

500

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

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

500

This neuro condition typically presents bilaterally w/ hyperreflexia, coordination deficits, and possible bowel/bladder changes.

What is spinal myelopathy?
