Cat-like Reflexes
Stroking the side of the cheek causing baby to turn to the same side
What is the rooting reflex?
Neural tube defect with no involvement of the spinal cord or meninges
What is spina bifida occulta?
a neurophysiologic phenomenon defined as an increase in activity in related muscles in response to external resistance
What is irradiation?
This level allows for elbow flexion and extension
What is C7?
Most common stroke syndrome. Leads to contralateral sensory loss and weakness in the face and upper extremity and homonymous hemianopia
What is middle cerebral artery occlusion?
When the neck is flexed, the UE extend and LE flex
What is Symmetric Tonic Neck Reflex
Cerebral palsy that affects only 1 side of the body
What is hemiplegia?
In this proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) pattern, the shoulder moves into extension, abduction, and internal rotation while the forearm pronates, the wrist extends, and the fingers open—often described as the motion of pushing something away or preparing to throw an object.
What is upper extremity D1 extension?
Syndrome resulting from flexion injury resulting in loss of motor, pain, and temperature sensation bilaterally below the level of injury.
What is anterior cord syndrome?
TBI caused by high velocity trauma and rotational/translational force to brain tissue
What is a diffuse axonal injury?
DTR score 1+ represents this
What is "present but diminished"?
What is constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT)?
Type of development of motor control that involves movement within a posture
What is controlled mobility?
This spinal level innervates lower abdominals with weak quadratus lumborum
What is T12?
Condition of general unresponsiveness in which the patient is able to be aroused only after significant sensory stimulation
What is stupor?
This reflex helps maintain head position by using signals from the inner ear to adjust posture and balance.
What is the labyrinthine righting reflex?
Pediatric disorder characterized by hypotonicity, joint hypermobility, and intellectual disability
What is down syndrome?
The primary somatosensory cortex that interprets touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception.
What is the parietal lobe?
Ambulation potential for T9-T11 spinal cord injury
What is independent wc or therapeutic ambulation with orthoses and AD?
Cardinal signs of Parkinson's Disease
What are tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability?
Arms abduct the flex when dropped backward quickly
What is the moro reflex?
In children with cystic fibrosis, physical therapy focuses on improving lung function through airway clearance techniques and this type of exercise, which helps enhance cardiovascular endurance and overall respiratory health.
This neurotransmitter influences motor activity, motivation, general arousal, and cognition
What is dopamine?
Breathing technique where patients say "gulp". It is used mostly with SCI C1-C3
What is glossopharyngeal breathing?
A patient presents with a pressure wound covered with eschar and yellow slough. This stage is MOST CORRECTLY classified as this.
