Stack #3898967

QuestionAnswer
ASTHENIA generalized muscle weakness
ASYNERGIA loss of ability to associate muscles together for complex movements
DELAYED REACTION TIME increased time required to initiate voluntary movement
DYSARTHRIA disorder to motor component of speech articulation
DYSDIADOCHOKINESIA impaired ability to perform rapid alternating movements
DYSMETRIA inability to judge distance or range of movement
DYSSYNERGIA movement performed in sequence of components parts rather than as a single, smooth activity, decomposition
GAIT DISORDERS ataxic pattern; broad base support ;postural instability; high guard position of UEs
HYPOTONIA decrease in muscle tone
HYPERMETRIA overestimation of distance or range needed to accomplish a movement
NYSTAGMUS rhythmic, quick , oscillatory, back and forth movement of the eyes
REBOUND PHENOMENON Inability to halt movements after resistive stimulus removed; patient unable to stop sudden limb motion
TREMOR Involuntary oscillatory movement resulting from alternate contractions of opposing muscle groups
INTENTION TREMOR (KINETIC) Oscillatory movement during voluntary motion; increases as the limb nears target; diminished or absent at rest
POSTURAL TREMOR ( STATIC) Exaggerated oscillatory movement of the body in standing posture or of limb held against gravity
TITUBATION Rhythmic oscillations of the head; axial involvement of the trunk
AKINESIA inability to initiate movement; associated with fixed postures
ATHETOSIS slow involuntary, writhing, twisting, "wormlike' movements; frequently greater involvement in distal UEs
BRADYKINESIA decreased amplitude and velocity of voluntary movement
CHOREA Involuntary rapid irregular ,jerky movements involving multiple joints, most apparent in UEs
CHOREOATHETOSIS movement disorder with features of both chorea and athetosis
DYSTONIA( DYSTONIC MOVEMENTS) sustain involuntary contractions of agonist and antagonist muscles
HEMIBALLISMUS Large-amplitude sudden violent, flailing motions of the arm and leg of one side of the body
HYPERKINESIS Abnormally increased muscle activity or movement
HYPOKINESIS Decreased motor response especially to specific stimulus
RIGIDITY Increase in muscle tone causing greater resistance to passive movement; greater in flexor muscles
LEADPIPE( RIGIDITY) uniform, constant resistance as limb is moved
COGWHEEL (RIGIDITY) Series of brief relaxations or " catches" limb is passively moved
TREMOR ( RESTING) Involuntary, rhythmic, oscillatory movement observe at rest

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
