test n measures
reflex/ sensory and spine/ TMJ tests
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| lightly stroke the test area. ask pt if they feel light sensation by saying yes or no,. if yes- is sensation normal, diminished or absent, monafilaments can be used for specific testing of the skin, what test is this? | light touch |
| 2 test tubes with stoppers. one test tube with warm water other one crushed ice. place tube on skin surface area, ask pt if they feel hot or cold. do not use on pts with sensitive skin conditions. | temperture |
| awareness of the joint, joint held in start position. joint moved to new reference and held in position for a few sec. pt repeats position with ipsilateral extremity. pt can use contralateral extremity for alternate position. pt given a test trial 1st. | proprioception/ kinesthesia |
| what is the awareness of the movement of the parts of the body at the joints? | kinesthesia |
| joint held at a start position. joint moved slowly to a new position, pt describes motion. pt given practice test 1st, then test. cation hand placement, avoid excessive tactile stimulation. speech impairment- use contralateral extremity. | kinesthesia test |
| what is the name of the test that tests for the recognition of weight? | barognosis |
| set up weights consisting of small objects of same size/ shape with different weights, pt asked to compare weight of object with previous one. alternative- compare in both hands. which is heavier or lighter. | barognosis |
| what is the name of the test to recognize objects? | stereognosis |
| pt is given objects to recognize. pt tells you what object is. pt with speech impairment- use pictures to identify objects. looking for a diminished sensation. | stereognosis |
| name the test to recognize letter, numbers or designs traced on skin. | graphesthesia |
| use a fingertip or pencil to draw in the palm of the hand. between each drawing a cloth is used to indicate new drawing. pt with speech impairment- use line drawings, | graphesthesia |
| by testing tendons, gives a insight on motor or sensory pathways of the nervous system. what kind of testing is this? | reflex |
| interruption in the sensory pathway that prevents or delays the transmission of the impulse to the spinal chord. this can cause a diminish or absent reflex. | hypo-reflexia |
| an example of an peripheral motor neuron is transected as a result of trauma. this is an abnormal LMN. what type of reflex is it? | hypo-reflexia |
| if the UMN is transected (traumatic spinal cord), the arc receiving the input from the nerve becomes disinhibited resulting in hyperactive reflexes. what reflex test is this? | hyper-reflexia |
| absent, no evidence of contraction, what is the grade of reflex? | 0 |
| decreased, but still present (hypo-reflexic), what grade is this? | 1 plus |
| normal or physiologic, what grade is this? | 2 plus |
| increased; may be normal pathologic, what grade is this? | 3 plus |
| markedly hyperactive with transient clonus , what grade is this? | 4 plus |
| marked hperactive with sustained clonus ( repetitive shortening of the muscle after a single stimulation), what grade is this? | 5 plus |
| weighted heads, so when you swing it 10 cm from target, there will be adequate force on tendon, what size hammer? | large hammer |
| this hammer is swung loosely between the thumb and forefinger. what size hammer is this? | small hammer |

| how many cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral nerves are there? | cervical (8), thoracic (12), lumbar(5), sacral (5) |
| a block of embryonic mesoderm that segmentally develops into blocks of skeletal muscle, what is this? | myotomes |
