automatic responses of the limb as a result of action occuring in some other part of the body, eigther by voluntary or reflex stimulation. | Associated reactions |
term for a category of motor speech difficulties caused by impairment in the parts ot the central or peripheral nervous system the mediate speech production. | Dysarthrea |
a type of speech impairment in which speech flows smoothly, but auditory comprehension may be impaired. (wernicke's/ sensory aphasia) | Fluent aphasia |
the inability to recongnize or make sense of incoming information despite intact sensory capabilities. | Agnosia |
a disorder of voluntary skilled learned movement characterized by an inability to initiate and perform purposeful movements that cannot be accounted for by inadequeate strength, loss of coordination, or abnormal tone. | Apraxia |
loss of vision in the contralateral half of each visual field, the nasal half of one eye and the temperal half f the other eye corresponding to the hemiplegic side. | Homonymous hemianopsia |
stereotyped mass movement patterns associated with neurological deficit; movements are primitive, automatic, reflexive and highly stereotyped; there is a characteristic flexion or extension pattern to the upper and lower extremities. | Synergies |
motor paralysis of one half of the body | Hemiplegia |
temporary interruption of blood supply to the brain. Symptoms of neuro deficit may last a few minutes or hours but do not last over 24hrs. after attack ther is no evidence residual brain damage. | Transient ischemic attack |
neurological status deteriorates after admission to the hospital. | Deteriorating stroke |
motor weakness (partial paralysis)affecting one half of the body. | Hemiparesis |
unusual motor behavior characterized by the patient's strong lateral lean toward the hemiplegic side in all positions. | Ipsalateral pushing |
is sever aphasia characterized by marked impairments of both production and comprehension of language. (sever brain damage) | Global aphasia |
is the general term used to describe an acquired communication disorder caused by brain damaged. | Aphasia |
the flow of speech is slow and hesitanct, bocabulary is limited, and syntax is impaired. (comprehension is good, but speech is not) | Nonfluent aphasia |
used to discribe motor impairments of cerebellar origin. | Ataxia |
refers an inabilty of the patient to produce movement either on command or automatically and represents a complete breakdown in the conceptualization of the task. | Ideational apraxia |
the patient is unable to produce a movement on command but is able to move automatically | Ideomotor apraxia |
A condition in which the deep tendon reflexes are exaggerated. | Hyperreflexia |
inability to sustain a movement. | Motor impersistence |
