Question
Answer
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is AKA?   Complex regional pain syndrome  
🗑
Neuroma   An unorganized mass of nerve fibers resulting from a laceration or amputation in which the nerve regrows in unorganized bundles -- results in sharp, radiating pain.  
🗑
Apraxia   Loss of ability to execute or carry out learned (familiar) movements -- despite having the desire & physical ability to perform the mvmts  
🗑
Oral Apraxia   Difficulty in forming and organizing intelligible words, though the musculature is intact. Differs from DYSARTHRIA because no muscles are affected and speech is not slurred  
🗑
Constructional Apraxia   Unable to produce designs in 2 or 3 dimensions by copying, drawing, or constructing  
🗑
Ideational Apraxia   Disability of carrying out complex sequential motor acts spontaneously or on request -- caused by disruption of the conception, rather than the execution -- loss of tool function knowledge  
🗑
Ideomotor Apraxia   Inability to imitate gestures or perform a purposeful motor task on command -- even though the patient is able to fully understand the idea or concept of a task -- this often assc. with left hemisphere damage  
🗑
Visual Agnosia   Lack of ability to recognize common objects and demonstrate their use in an activity  
🗑
Auditory Agnosia   Inability to recognize sounds, words, and non-words  
🗑
Visual-spacial Agnosia   Affects perception of spatial relationship between objects, or between objects and self  
🗑
Prosopagnosia   Face blindness -- inability to ID an individual by their face  
🗑
Anosognosia   Transient, severe form of neglect -- patient does not recognize the presence or severity of his paralysis  
🗑
Valgus Stress Syndrome   Medial elbow overstress -- occurs as a result of repetitive throwing motions  
🗑
Brachial Plexus Injury   Traumatic (falling) & Obstetrics -- weakness in the arm, diminished reflexes, corresponding sensory deficits  
🗑
Pulled Elbow Syndrome   Dislocation by a sudden jerk upwards of the arm -- common injury in children under 5 years  
🗑
Chorea   Irregular, purposeless, involuntary, quick, jerky, & dysrhythmic mvmts  
🗑
Huntington's Disease   Gentic disease - progressive breakdown (degeneration) of nerve cells in the brain, usually results in jerky movement, dementia and psychiatric disorders -- type of chorea  
🗑
Tardive Dyskinesia   Involuntary movements of the tongue, lips, face, trunk, and extremities that occur in patients treated with long-term dopaminergic antagonist medications -- type of chorea  
🗑
Cerebral palsy   Permanent impairment affecting automatic postural control and movement as a result of a non-progressive brain disorder  
🗑
Types of CP   Spastic, athetoid, flaccid, ataxic  
🗑
Spastic CP - severe   Severe increased tone -- flex/ext cocontraction -- high tone, always -- more proximal than distal  
🗑
Spastic CP - moderate   Near normal tone @ rest -- tone increases w/ excitement, mvmt, emotion, and speech -- more distal than proximal  
🗑
Spastic CP - mild   Normal tone @ rest -- tone increases w/ effort & movement  
🗑
Athethoid CP - pure   Tone fluctuates from low to normal -- no or little spasticity -- no coactivation  
🗑
Athetoid CP w/ spasticity   Tone fluctates from normal to high -- proximal spasticity -- distal athetosis (slow writhing, continuous and involuntary mvmt of extremities  
🗑
Athetoid CP w/ tonic spasms   Unpredictable tone -- changes from low to very high -- all flexion or all extension  
🗑
Choreoathetosis CP   Constant fluctuation from low to high tone -- no co-contraction -- jerky, involuntary mvmt -- more proximal than distal  
🗑
Flaccid CP   Markedly low tone -- seen at birth/toddler -- later classified as spastic, athetoid, or ataxic  
🗑
Ataxic CP   Normal to near normal tone -- increased tone usually involves LE flexion -- most functional form of CP  
🗑
Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PPD)   Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Rett's Syndrome  
🗑
Autism   Impairments of social interaction, social communication, social behavior -- inability to relate to others -- echolia -- flat affect & poor eye contact -- aversion to physical contact -- intolerance to changes in routine  
🗑
Asperger's Syndrome   Similar characteristics to autism -- sometimes referred to as high functioning autism  
🗑
Resting tremors   Occurs at rest, subsides when voluntary movement is attempted -- seen in Parkinson's  
🗑
Ballism   Produced by continuous, abrupt contractions of the axial and proximal musculature of the extremity  
🗑
Dysarthria   Explosive or slurred speech caused by in-coordination of muscles involved in speech -- a neuromotor problem -- often a symptom of Friedreich's ataxia  
🗑
Nystagmus   Involuntary mvmt of eyeballs in up/down, back/forth motion -- interferes with head control  
🗑
Dysmetria   Inability to estimate ROM necessary to meet target -- evident when person tries to reach nose -- often a symptom of Friedreich's ataxia  
🗑
Intention tremors   Occurs w/ voluntary mvmt -- intensified at the termination of the mvmt -- often assc. w/ MS  
🗑
Bradykinesia   Slow movement  
🗑
Adiadochokinesis   Inability to perform rapid alternating mvmts such as pronation/supination  
🗑
Dystonia   Neurologic mvmt disorder characterized by sustained muscle contractions, usually producing twisting & repetitive mvmts or abnormal postures or positions  
🗑
Choreoathetosis   Movement of intermediate speed, fluctuating between the quick, flitting movements of chorea and the slower, writhing movements of athetosis  
🗑
Pes varus   Club foot -- supinated foot  
🗑
Pes valgus   Pronated foot  
🗑
Rotator Cuff Muscles   Supraspinatus - Infraspinatus - Subscapularis - Teres Minor  
🗑
Ataxia   Describes a lack of coordination while performing voluntary movements -- it may appear as clumsiness, inaccuracy, or instability  
🗑
Guillain-Barre Syndrome   Auto-immunue disease in which the peripheral nerves become inflammed -- results in numbness and paralysis in the legs, upper body, and face -- level of I depends on extent of paralysis  
🗑
Agnosia   Lack of recognition of familiar objects as perceived by the senses -- manifests w/ problems in body scheme such as somatognosia & anosgonosia  
🗑
Somatognosia   Unawareness of body parts  
🗑
Anasognosia   Unawareness or denial of a neurological deficit, such as hemiplegia  
🗑
Displacement   Occurs when an individual redirects an emotion from one object (progression of disease) to another (adaptive equipment)  
🗑
Acting-out   Describes behaviors that violate societal norms (sexually provocative behavior, physically assaultive behavior)  
🗑
Passive-aggressive behavior   Characterized by indirect or unassertive aggression (being chronically late when meeting someone you argued with years ago)  
🗑
Reaction formation   Switching of an unacceptable impulse into its opposite (hugging someone you would like to hit)
