Q

What happens to the aging nervous system

A
  • decreased brain weight - drug toxicities and delirium
  • alteration in NT
  • decreased memory
  • decreased reaction time- decreased IQ
  • altered sleep
  • decreased vibratory sense
  • decreased righting reflex, increased postural instability, altered gait leading to falls

80
Q

How is the sacrum rotated in Piriformis syndrome

A

Anteriorly rotated toward ipsilateral side on contralateral oblique axis; leads to physiologic short leg

81
Q

What are the special tests for Piriformis

A
  • straight leg
  • Freiburg sign: pain during passive internal rotation of hip
  • pace sign: patient is seated and abducts against physicians resistance reproduces pain
  • FAIR test: can perform supine or lateral recumbent with affected side up - flex, adduct and internally rotate patients affected side
  • beatty test: patient lies on unaffected side lifting and holding the superior knee 4 inches off exam table - positive if return sciatic sx
82
Q

What PT can you do for Piriformis syndrome

A

Stretching, strengthening of adductor mm, heat or cold therapy

83
Q

What are systemic causes of neuropathy

A

Pregnancy, hypothyroidism, DM

84
Q

What are the categories of nerve injuries

A
  • 1st degree: neuropraxia; involves focal damage of myelin fibers; connective tissue sheath in tact; limited course
  • 2nd degree: axonotmesis; disruption to axon itself; myelin sheath remains in tact; regeneration possible but moths without recovery
  • 3rd-5th: neurotmesis
85
Q

How do you distinguish 3rd-5th degree nerve injuries

A
  • 3rd: disruption of axons and endoneurium; recovery through axonal regeneration cannot occur
  • 4th: disruption of axon and endoneurium+perineurium (fascicles); no improvement in function; surgery used to restore
  • 5th: disruption of endoneurium+perineurium+epineurium; perineurial hemorrhage; surgery required
86
Q

What does C6 do

A

Wrist extension and elbow flexion

87
Q

What is the most common cause of cervical n root compression

A

Cervical disc dz - bulging (no damage to cartilage rings)or herniated disc

88
Q

What are the types of herniated disc

A

Protrusion - only few cartilage rings torn; no leakage of central material
Extrusion: cartilage rings have torn in small area; nucleus purposes is able to low out of disc space

89
Q

What are the cervical nerve root tests

A
  • spurling
  • adson: have patient elevate chin and rotate head toward affects side while inspiring deeply - look for obliteration of radial pulse on affected side; dx = thoracic outlet
  • Hoffmann: grasp middle finger and quickly snap or flip dorsal surface - look or quick flexion of thumb and index finger; dx = cervical myelopathy (cervical spinal stenosis)
90
Q

What is the treatment of cubital tunnel

A

91
Q

What are the functions of radial n

A

Motor to triceps, anconus, wrist extensors; sensation to dorsum of hand

92
Q

Where can the radial n be entrapped

A
  • high on humerus secondary to fracture - sx wrist drop, weakness of elbow flexion, possible triceps involvement, pain/numbness; function usually returns in 4-5 months
  • radial tunnel: caused by repetitive rotatory movements (rowing, racket sports); sx pain and tenderness 5cm distal to lateral epicondyle wrist drop or pain with supination
  • at the wrist - sup branch binched btw brachioradialis and ECRL during pronation; sensation lost over posterolateral hand
93
Q

What is compression of superficial radial n called

A

Cheiralgia parestheticca aka wartenberg’s syndroem aka handcuff neuropathy

94
Q

What are the functions of median n

A

Forearm flexion and pronation, wrist flexion and radial deviation, thumb abduction and opposition, index and middle finger abduction and flexion

95
Q

What motions would cause pronator syndrome

A

100
Q

What test should you order for suspected thoracic outlet

A

101
Q

What are the nerve roots for the LE nerves at risk of compression

A

Common fib, deep fib and post fib are all L4-S2; lateral fem cutaneous is L2-L3
