Basic NeuroAnatomy

100

this lobe is responsible for sensory integration

parietal lobe 

200

these are large, myelinated, fast conducting

A fibers

300

Ascending fibers of the spinal cord send information... (type and where)

sensory information from the body up the spinal cord to the brain 

400

cranial nerve III is responsible for 

oculomotor - eye movements, pupil size, eyelid elevation 

500

3 functions of the parasympathetic branch of the ANS

conserve/restore homeostasis, slow HR, reduce BP, increase peristalsis, increase glandular activity 

Signs and Symptoms

100

loss of consciousness, stiffness of body, irregular breathing, drool, skin pallor, sometimes incontinence

tonic phase of seizure

200

UMN lesions (SCI) cause what change in muscle tone

spasticity

300

New onset weakness after years of stability, easily fatigued, atrophy, loss of function, motor neuron breakdown

Post-Polio Syndrome

400

L CVA is associated with

aphasia and language difficulties 

500

exposed sac/pouch consisting of CSF and meninges but not spinal cord

spina bifida meningocele

Scales and Evals

100

Lowest score on the glasgow coma scale 

3

200

GCS 13-15 range

mild TBI // concussion

300

high sensory threshold, active response

sensory seeking

400

motor incomplete, with at least 50-% of key muscle functions below the lesion having grade of greater or equal to 3/5

ASIA D

500

localized response, reacts inconsistently, directly to stimuli

Ranchos Level 3

Cardinal signs

100

unilateral facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulties

Cva/ stroke

200

resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, akinesia are all cardinal signs of this disorder 

Parkinson's disease 

300

rise in BP, pounding headache, sweating

autonomic dysreflexia 

400

continuous seizure lasting for >5 mins; or continuous seizures where the person does not gain full consciousness between them

Status Epileptcus

500

progressive weakness, tachycardia, tachypnea, dysphagia, impaired speech, anxiety, restlessness, decreased respiratory function possibly requiring ventilation 

Myasthenia Gravis Crisis

Interventions

100

this type of orthoses is used for motion prevention, external support, contracture prevention, joint alignment, pain reduction

static orthosis 

200

this stage of oral motor function consists of one's ability to open their mouth, form a bolus, and contain the bolus in the oral cavity

oral preparatory stage 

300

Ayres Sensory Integration creates this type of environment for improved sensory processing

natural, child driven, playful environment with "just right challenges"

400

3 factors promoting generalization of motor learning 

What are: intrinsic feedback capacity, high KP feedback, low KR feedback, variable and random practice, high contextual interference, naturalistic environment 

500

massed practice, restraint of less affected UE, and transfer package are the 3 components of this intervention

Constraint Induced Movement Therapy
