inability to recognize symbols, letters or numbers traced on skin

inability to initiate movement (often seen in Parkinson's)

impairment of processing for receptive and / or expressive language

inability to perform purposeful learned movements (no sensory or motor impairment)

inability to recognize objects by touch

difficulty with alternating movements

difficulty judging distances or forces / pressures

homonymous hemianopsia

loss of R or L half of field of vision in both eyes

ability to perceive direction and extent of movement of joint or body part

inability to interpret stimuli on L side of body due to lesion on right frontal lobe of brain

severe hypertonicity where a sustained mm contraction does not allow for any movement at a specified joint

mass movement patterns that are primitive in nature & coupled with spasticity

injury to muscle, tendon or their attachments to bone

balance is dependent on:

somatosensory input, visual input, and vestibular input

Anterior Cord Syndrome

loss of motor function, pain & temp sense below level of lesion

Brown-Sequard"s Syndrome

paralysis & loss position sense on same side loss of pain & temp sense on opposite side

Central Cord Syndrome

greater involvement to UE than LE greater motor deficits than sensory deficits

Posterior Cord Syndrome

loss of pain perception, 2 pt discrimination and stereognosis (motor function OK)

Autonomic Dysreflexia

(lesions above T6) sudden elevation in blood pressure, usually due to distended bladder, kink in catheter line, tight clothing

Orthostatic Hypotension

decrease in systolic blood pressure > 20 mm Hg after moving from supine to sitting (dizziness, light-headedness, nausea)
