| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Inability to recognize weight | Abarognosis |
| Is sensation experienced at a site remote from point of stimulation | Allesthesia |
| Pain produced by a non-noxious stimulus | Allodynia |
| Complete loss of pain sensitivity | Analgesia |
| Inability to recognize the form and shape of objects by touch (synonym: tactile agnosia) | Astereognosis |
| Inability to localize a sensation | Atopognosia |
| Painful, burning sensations, usually along the distribution of a nerve | Causalgia |
| Touch sensation experienced as pain | Dysesthesia |
| Decreased sensitivity to pain | Hypalgesia |
| Increased sensitivity to pain | Hyperalgesia |
| Increased sensitivity to sensory stimuli | Hyperesthesia |
| Decreased sensitivity to sensory stimuli | Hypesthesia |
| Loss or absence of sensibility to vibration | Pallanesthesia |
| Abnormal sensation such as numbness, prickling, or tingling, without apparent cause | Paresthesia |
| Vascular lesion of the thalamus resulting in sensory disturbances and partial or complete paralysis of one side of the body, associated with severe, boring-type pain; sensory stimuli may produce and exaggerated, prolonged, or painful response | Thalamic syndrome |
| Inability to perceive heat | Thermanalgesia |
| Inability to perceive sensations of heat and cold | Thermanesthesia |
| Increased sensitivity to temperature | |
| Decreased temperature sensibility | Thermhypesthesia |
| Loss of light touch sensibility | Thigmanesthesia |
| Generalized muscle weakness | Asthenia |
| Loss of ability to associated muscles together for complex mvmts | Asynergia |
| Increased time required to initiate voluntary mvmts | Delayed reaction time |
| Disorder of the motor component of speech articulation | Dysarthria |
| Impaired ability to perform rapid alternating movements | Dysdiadochokinesia |
| Inability to judge the distance or range of a movement | Dysmetria |
| Movement performed in a sequences of component parts rather than as a single, smooth activity; decomposition | Dyssynergia |
| Ataxic pattern; broad base of support; postural instability; high-guard position of UEs | Gait disorders |
| Decrease in muscle tone | Hypotonia |
| Overestimation of distance or range needed to accomplish a movement | Hypermetria |
| Underestimation of distance or range needed to accomplish a movement | Hypometria |
| Rhythmic, quick, oscillatory, back-and-forth movement of the eyes | Nystagmus |
| Inability to half forceful mvmts after resistive stimulus removed; patient unable to stop sudden limb motion | Rebound phenomenon |
| Involuntary oscillatory mvmt resulting from alternate contractions of opposing muscle groups | Tremor |
| Oscillatory mvmt during voluntary motion; increases as the limb nears target; diminished or absent at rest | Intention tremor (kinetic) |
| Exaggerated oscillatory mvmt of the body in standing posture or of a limb held against gravity | Postural tremor (static) |
| Rhythmic oscillations of the head; axial involvement of the trunk | Titubation |
| Inability to initiate mvmt; associated with fixed postures | Akinesia |
| Slow, involuntary, writhing, twisting, wormlike mvmts; frequently greater involvement in distal UEs | Athetosis |
| Decreased amplitude and velocity of voluntary mvmt | Bradykinesia |
| Involuntary, rapid, irregular, jerky mvmts involving multiple joints; most apparent in UEs | Chorea |
| Mvmt disorder with features of both chorea and athetosis | Choreoathetosis |
| Sustained involuntary contractions of agonist and antagonist muscles | Dystonia (dystonic mvmts) |
| Large-amplitude sudden violent, flailing motions of the arm and leg of one side of the body | Hemiballismus |
| Abnormally increased muscle activity or movement | Hyperkinesis |
| Decreased motor response especially to a specific stimulus | Hypokinesis |
| Increased in muscle tone causing greater resistance to passive movement; greater in flexor muscles | Rigidity |
| Rigidity that is uniform, constant resistance as limb is moved | Lead-pipe |
| Rigidity that is a series of brief relaxations or "catches" as limb is passively moved | Cogwheel |
| Involuntary, rhythmic, oscillatory mvmt observed at rest | Tremor (resting) |
| Thermhyperesthesia |
