Neuro: Cerebelar and Basal Ganglia disorders

Question 1

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

asynergia

Answer 1

cerebellar pathology

the loss of ability to associate muscles together for complex movements

Question 2

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

resting tremor

Answer 2

basal ganglia disorder

an involuntary, rhythmic, oscillatory movement observed at rest

Question 3

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Ataxic Gait

Answer 3

cerebellar disorder

Wide - based gait, uncoordinated gait, clumsy and unsteady, zigzag gait

Question 4

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Choreoathetosis

Answer 4

basal ganglia disorder

both chorea & athetosis: slow, involuntary, writhing, twisting, “worm-like” movements (UE>LE & neck, face, tongue, trunk) combined with involuntary, rapid, irregular and jerky movt’s

Question 5

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

hypotonia

Answer 5

cerebellar disorder

Decreased in tone (resistance to passive movement), DTR’s normal

Question 6

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Dyssynergia

Answer 6

Cerebellar disorders

Inability to associate muscles together for complex movements

Question 7

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

chorea

Answer 7

Basal ganglia disorder

involuntary, rapid, irregular and jerky movt’s

Question 8

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Bradykinesia

Answer 8

basal ganglia disorder

-decreased amplitude and velocity of voluntary movement

Question 9

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

akinesia

Answer 9

basal ganglia disorder

inability to initiate movement

Question 10

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

rebound phenomenon

Answer 10

cerebellar pathology

is the loss of the check reflex, or check factor, which functions to halt forceful active movements when resistance is eliminated

Question 11

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Dysdiadochokinesia

Answer 11

cerebellar disorder

Inability to perform rapid, alternating supination pronation movements.

unable to stop ongoing movement

Question 12

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Dysmetria

Answer 12

cerebellar disorder

Underestimation or overestimation of necessary movement toward a target

Question 13

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Nystagmus

Answer 13

cerebellar pathology

is a rhythmic, quick, oscillatory, back-and-forth movement of the eyes

Question 14

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Ataxia

Answer 14

Cerebellar disorder

Voluntary movement is clumsy & uncoordinated

Question 15

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

asthenia

Answer 15

is generalized muscle weakness associated with cerebellar lesions

Question 16

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Intention tremor

Answer 16

cerebellar disorder

Occurs during movement; stops with rest

Question 17

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

rigidity

Answer 17

basal ganglia disorder

increase in muscle tone causing greater resistance to passive move

Question 18

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Dysarthria

Answer 18

cerebellar disorder

speech slow, slurred, hesitant, inappropriate pauses, on-word-at-a-time quality

Question 19

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

Athetosis

Answer 19

basal ganglia disorder

slow, involuntary, writhing, twisting, “worm-like” movements (UE>LE & neck, face, tongue, trunk)

Question 20

Cerebellar of Basal Ganglia Disorder?

hemiballismus

Answer 20

basal ganglia

Large amplitude involuntary movement. Causes large amplitude “flinging” motions of the extremities
