🗑
Abnormal sensation such as numbness, prickling, or tingling, without apparent cause   Paresthesia  
🗑
Vascular lesion of the thalamus resulting in sensory disturbances and partial or complete paralysis of one side of the body, associated with severe, boring-type pain; sensory stimuli may produce and exaggerated, prolonged, or painful response   Thalamic syndrome

🗑
Disorder of the motor component of speech articulation   Dysarthria  
🗑
Impaired ability to perform rapid alternating movements   Dysdiadochokinesia  
🗑
Inability to judge the distance or range of a movement   Dysmetria  
🗑
Movement performed in a sequences of component parts rather than as a single, smooth activity; decomposition   Dyssynergia  
🗑
Ataxic pattern; broad base of support; postural instability; high-guard position of UEs   Gait disorders  
🗑
Decrease in muscle tone   Hypotonia  
🗑
Overestimation of distance or range needed to accomplish a movement   Hypermetria  
🗑
Underestimation of distance or range needed to accomplish a movement   Hypometria  
🗑
Rhythmic, quick, oscillatory, back-and-forth movement of the eyes   Nystagmus

Inability to half forceful mvmts after resistive stimulus removed; patient unable to stop sudden limb motion   Rebound phenomenon  
🗑
Involuntary oscillatory mvmt resulting from alternate contractions of opposing muscle groups   Tremor  
🗑
Oscillatory mvmt during voluntary motion; increases as the limb nears target; diminished or absent at rest   Intention tremor (kinetic)  
🗑
Exaggerated oscillatory mvmt of the body in standing posture or of a limb held against gravity   Postural tremor (static)  
🗑
Rhythmic oscillations of the head; axial involvement of the trunk   Titubation  
🗑

🗑
Involuntary, rhythmic, oscillatory mvmt observed at rest   Tremor (resting)  
🗑
  Thermhyperesthesia  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
