This neurological deficit occurs when a blood vessel in the brain is occluded:
What is ischemic CVA?
100
This process occurs in the brain following a stroke and is defined by the increased use of alternative neurological pathways:
What is reorganization?
100
The beginning of a movement pattern:
What is initiation?
100
Name the 4 standard areas to test reflexes:
What are triceps, biceps, quadriceps, and gastrocnemius?
100
An atypical pattern of function that an individual develops and uses to complete tasks because they cannot access typical movement patterns on the side of the impairment:
What are undesirable compensatory patterns?
200
This can be a manifestation of neurovascular disease and symptoms include paralysis on one side of the body:
What is hemiplegia?
200
This process occurs in the brain following a stroke and involves 'collateral sprouting' of neuropathways around the infarct:
What is regeneration?
200
Evaluating cranial nerve function in CVA is integral for this purpose:
What is: deficits in CN function can determine size and location of the infarct or hemorrhage.
200
A reaction that helps with balance by keeping center of gravity over base of support:
What are equilibrium reactions?
200
Name an objective pain measurement scale:
Visual Analog Scale
McGill Pain Questionnaire
300
This is the name for the type of hypertonia where muscle tone is increased by movement:
What is spasticity?
300
This type of impairment is a direct result of brain damage and is immediately present:
What is a primary impairment?
300
This type of secondary impairment occurs in the shoulder and/or had and includes tenderness, swelling, and pain in the extremity, followed by loss of ROM, and joint contracture.
What is complex regional pain syndrome?
300

What is inferior subluxation?
400
Muscles most likely to experience shortening as a result of CVA:
What are 2-joint muscles?
400
A individual with a CVA who presents with language deficits is most likely to have the infarct in this hemisphere:
What is left hemisphere?
400
Name 2 examples of a primary impairment caused by CVA:
Neurological weakness
Changes in muscular activation
Changes in sensation
Changes in muscle tone

The majority of functional recovery from a CVA occurs within:
What is 6 months?
500
A evaluation tool used to determine an individual's level of consciousness is:
Glasgow Coma Scale
Coma Recovery Scale
500
Name 2 examples of a composite impairment caused by CVA:
Movement deficits
Atypical movement
Undesirable compensations
500
An individual demonstrates evidence of being awake and responds meaningfully to stimuli. This individual is in the state of:
What is awareness?
500
Describe the tone continuum:
What is: hypotonia - normal - hypertonia - rigidity?
