100

Any damage to what part of the brain (ie stroke, TBI, encephalitis, etc...) can cause visual field loss

What is the posterior region of the brain

T/F: Homonymous hemianopsia resolves overtime with eye exercises

False; unfortunately, the only evidence-based intervention for hemianopsia is compensatory visual scanning as homonymous hemianopsia is typically irreversible

What are saccades?

200

What is the name of a progressive brain disorder that affects thinking, movement, behavior, and mood and is characterized by a buildup of proteins in the brain that disrupt normal brain function?

What is Lewy Body Dementia

200

What assessment specifically utilized for patients post stroke is a performance-based index that is comprised of five domains including motor function, sensory function, balance, joint ROM, and joint pain?

What is the Fugl-Meyer

200

Your patient has an obstruction of the basilar artery. What areas of the brain will be impacted? 

What are the brainstem, cerebellum, and parts of the occipital lobe

200

T/F: When working with patients with dementia, it is more effective for their motor learning to correct them the first time they complete the task as opposed to letting them problem solve the task themselves

True (it is more effective for their motor learning to correct them the first time they complete the task)

What is 20 degrees?

300

What is maintains a positive pressure in the lungs at the end of exhalation to prevent alveoli collapse 

400

You are testing a patient's muscle strength with the pt seated EOB. The patient demonstrates visible or palpable contraction in the muscle being tested however no movement of the limb is observed. What MMT grade do they have in this muscle? 

What is grade 1?

400

What illness has airborne precautions, is caused by rubeola, and symptoms include cough, runny nose, inflamed eyes, sore throat, fever, and a red, blotchy skin rash?

What is measles?

400

Your patient has an ASIA C, T10 SCI. Given the ASIA scale, what are they likely to score on the MMT scale for motor functional below the neurologic level

What is an MMT score of 1-2+


("The impairment is incomplete. Motor function is preserved below the neurologic level, but more than half of the key muscles below the neurologic level have a muscle grade less than 3 (i.e., they are not strong enough to move against gravity)")
