Question
Answer
Ataxia   Impaired gross coordination and gait      
🗑
Adiadochokinesia   inability to perform rapid alternating movements...ex forearm supination and pronation      
🗑
Dysmetria   inability to judge the distance between two points      
🗑
Dyssynergia   movements appear jerky (mm have trouble working together.)      
🗑
Tremor   involuntary trembling or shaking   intention tremor: occurs during movement   resting tremor: Occurs during absence of movement...Pill-rolling tremor: appears to be rolling a pill between thumb and index finger(Parkinson's)  
🗑
Rebound Phenomenon of Holmes   The inability to stop a movement already in motion to avoid striking something.      
🗑
Nystagmus   An involuntary movement of the eyeballs that is a normal response to the body trying to regain balance and orientation...(eyeballs move back n forth, up n down or rotating).      
🗑
Dysarthria   incoordination of the speech mechanism...speech is explosive or slurred.      
🗑
Choreiform movements   Uncontrolled, jerky, purposeless movements...often seen during sleep.      
🗑
Athetoid movements...Athetosis   movements that mainly occur in the distal extremities... slow and wormlike, without stability.      
🗑
Spasms   sudden involuntary contractions of a mm or group of mm.   Spinal cord injury, spasms often cause violent and involuntary straightening of the legs.    
🗑
Dystonia   Faulty mm tension or tone....Involves lg portions of the body, w distorted posturing and bizarre writhing movmts.      
🗑
Ballism   Projectile movmts of one side of the body...very rare symptom      
🗑
8 Components of normal postural reflex mechanism   Postural tone...mm tone...integration of primitive reflexes...mass patterns of mvmt...righting reactions...equilibrium reactions...protective extension reactions...voluntary/intentional mvmt.      
🗑
Normal mm tone   A continuous state of mm contraction and readiness      
🗑
Preferred position for assessing mm tone is:   upright, either sitting or standing, since these are positions for occupational performance tasks.      
🗑
3 Types of abnormal mm tone   HYPOtonicity (flaccidity)...HYPERtonicity (spasticity)...RIGIDITY      
🗑
HYPOTONICITY   Result of; peripheral nerve damage...cerebellar disease...or frontal lobe damage (seen temporarily in the 1st shock phase of a stroke or spinal cord injury).      
🗑
RIDIGITY   Both mm groups(agonist &antagonist) contract continually   Lead-pipe rigidity; constant resistance through ROM   Cogwheel rigidity; a rhythmic "give" during the resistance of ROM.  
🗑
Suck/swallow reflex   Onset:28 wks...I:2-5 mo.   Non-integration interferes with eating, due to involuntary protrusion/retraction of the tongue    
🗑
Asymmetrical tonic neck reflex (ATNR)   Onset: 37 wks...I: 4-6 mo.   Interferes with maintaining head & U.E in midline   Interferes w grasping objects in line of vision and bringing objects to the mouth  
🗑
Symmetrical tonic neck reflex   Onset: 4-6 mo...I: 8-12mo.   Interferes w; crawling...supine to sitting...sitting to standing    
🗑
Tonic labyrinthine reflex (TLR)..supine or prone   Onset: +37wks...I: 6 mo.   Severely limited mvmt..interferes w; supine to sitting...rolling supine to prone or vise versa.   difficulty sitting in a w/c for any length of time....can result in increased flexor tone.  
🗑
Positive supporting reflex (PSR)   Stimulus: pressure to the ball of the foot   Response: leg ext. and plantar flexion of ankle.   Difficulty rising from a chair and descending steps, since leg remains in ext.  
🗑
Crossed Extension reflex   Stimulus; flexion of one leg   Response; ext of the other leg   Difficulty w bridging and reciprocal walking  
🗑
Palmar grasp reflex   Onset: 37 wks...I: 4-6 mo.   lack of integration causes inability to release objects from the hand    
🗑
Plantar grasp reflex   Onset: 28wks...I: 9 mo.   Difficulty keeping toes from curling in shoes.   Normal equilibrium responses in the foot do not develop  
🗑
Brunnstrom's 9 Stages of motor recovery for a CVA   1. no motion...2.reflex response...3.associat-ed reactions   4.mass synergistic response...5. deviation from pattern...6. Wrist stability   7. individual finger mvmt...8. selected pattern w overlay...9.Selective mvmt  
🗑
       
🗑
HYPERTONICITY   Deep tendon reflexes and clonus(quick, repetitive, alternate contractions of antagonist and agonist mm)   Occurs in patterns of flexion or extension   Upper motor neuron disorders...ex. MS, CVAs, head injury, brain tumors and spinal cord injury or disease  
🗑
