Q

etiology of PD

A

degernation of dopaminergic cells in substantial compacta
-oxidative stress
cell inability to remove toxins - free radicals - aptoptosis
programmed cell death
inc level of excitatory AA (glutamate)–> cell death

25
PD: hoehn and yahr stage: 2
bilateral or midline involvement | w/out impairment of balance
26
PD: hoehn and yahr stage: 3
bilateral disease mild-mod disability w/ impaired postural reflex physically indep
27
PD: hoehn and yahr stage: 4
severely disabling disease | still able to walk and stand unassisted
28
PD: hoehn and yahr stage:
confined to bed or W/c unless aided
29
PD poor prognosis if presents w/
``` older age at dx early cog deficits associated co morbidities dec repose to dopamine replacement greater baseline impairment dx of MSA or PSP rigidity and bradykinesia ```
30
PD improved prognosis
right sided tremor is first symptoms
31
progressive supra nuclear palsy
atypical parkinsons -loss neurons and gliosis --> neurofibrillary tangles in cerebral cortex, decreased blood flow (frontal lobe), decreased oxygen utilization in central structures typical onset after 60, M>W severe disability 3-5 years after onset
32
progressive supranuclear palsy most common first complaint
unsteadiness of gait w/ unexplained fallings
33
how is PSP diff from PD
PSP progresses more rapidly, severe speech and swallowing, minimal repose to PD meds, may retropulse lack of vertical eye movements and saccades, eventual loss of convergence, small pupil, saccadic smooth persuit
34
how is PSP like PD
``` age at onset bradykinesia tremor rigid apathy cog impair ```
35
multi systems atrophy includes
striatonigral degeneration shy drager syndrome oliviopontocerebellar degen
36
multi systems atrophy categories
MSA -P: mild tremor, illness begins w/ hypotension MSA-C: cerebellar ataxia, dysphonia w/ stridor present *wheter they are predominately parkinsonism or cerebellar ataxia either: autonomic dysfunction: postural hypotension, bladder, dysfunction, fecal incontinence
37
MSA distinguishable from PD by
symmetry of signs early presence of autonomic dysfunction minimal tremor lack of response and dopamine
38
atypical or parkinson's plus diff dx symptoms
``` eye movements, PSP lack of vertical, or eye tremor tandem balance, bicycle, potential MSA response to meds speed of progression lack of progress sever hypotension w/ postural changes ```
39
PD med tx
1. med 2. deep brain stim 3. PT
40
levadopa
not started till later
41
MAO-b inhibitor
neuroprotective benefits | may prevent breakdown of existing DA
42
dopamine agonist
increase update of existing dopa | side effects include compulsive behavior and hallucinations- alert MD, needs to be altered
43
dopamine replacement therapy
1/2 life = 4 hours, protein interferes w/ binding/absorption side effect: orthostatic hypotension complications: wearing off, dyskinesia, dystonia *motor complications occur in 50% w/ PD after 5 years on levadopa
44
DRT on off effect
on: meds working off: meds not working 15-20% of its have severe motor fluctuations leading alternating periods of dyskinesia and immobility
45
COMT inhibitor
slows breakdown of levadopa | heals w/ wearing off
46
Amantadie
antiviral for dyskinesia (which is result of meds)
47
PD consideration w/ meds and exercise
most commonly prescribed drugs are hypotensive agents
48
aberrant learning and role of medications
if you learn a motor program wrong the first time, it is a lot harder to learn the correct one w/ practice w/out dopa, PD learn wrong first time compared to on dopa
49
DBS
deep brain stim sx implant of pacemaker send electrical impulse to stim brain implanted globus pallidus internen or subthlamic nuclei
50
best candidates of DBS
good response to levodopa but have severe motor fluctuations that can't be controlled w/ meds alone interlate to meds <70 yrs
51
DBS contras
cog/psych problems atypical PD, speech or swallowing progblems frequent falls decreased motor performance when on levadopa
52
PD PT indications
``` prevention decreased fx mobility including gait dev pain (shoulder: posture. back: rigid) posture balance ```
53
falls occur in ___% of PWPD
68%
54
exercise for neuroprotection
increase release of dopamine increased number of dopamine receptors, more efficient w/ exercise **exercise must start early
55
Exercise is med
``` improve cog fx prevent depression improve sleep quality decrease constipation decrease fatigue improve motor performance improve drug efficiency optimize dopaminergic system ```
56
montreal cog assessment
MoCA >/= 26/30 normal use score to justify ST referal
57
dystonia
abnormal sustained muscle contraction | document body part, trigger, how it interferes /w movement
58
retropulsion
tendency to fall backwards
59
dyskinesia
excessive movements, wristhing disorder caused by meds doc where, how if interferes w/ function
60
shoulder pain and PD
common related to postural changes eval thoracic mobility, scapular mobility, SHR
61
which measures of physical function and motor impairment best predict quality of life in PD?
freezing of gait | 6MWT
62
freezing of gait questionnaire
16 items eval 1. gait of daily living 2. freq/severity of FOG 3. freq and festinating gait and rln to falls 4. frequency and severity of alls
63
best question to ask if you only have time for one questions (PD)
"do you feel your feet get glued to the floor while walking, making a turn or when trying to initiate walking?" reliable for ID freezers
64
ways to provoke freexing
``` add turns dual task wake through doorway/narrow space walk over lines in ground or change in floor type add urgency ```
65
gait analysis - PD
``` trunk rotation step length arm swing freezing festination shuffling lack of WS ```
66
10 m walk test
0.88m/s correctly predicted 70% of pts as community walkers ``` MDC value (95%) comfortable gate speed = .18m/s fast gate speed = 0.25 ms/ ```
67
FGA review
22/30 fall risk 15/30 fallers in PD pts score 0-3, severe imp to normal amb
68
mini best review
14 dynamic balance assessments 0 severe, 1 mod, 2 normal <20/28 fall risk if L and R, lower score used for total score
69
4 square step
fall risk for PD | >9.68 seconds
70
phases of PD intervention
1. preclinical - neuroprotection 2. early/mod - neurorepair 3. late - adaption
71
evidence based practice for PD
treatmill training high intensity resistance training cycle aerobic exercise
72
treadmill training and PD
increased gait speed, stride length after 1 session feasible, safe, improve gait speed, stride length improve QOL, UPDRS, long term carryover
73
FE
forced exercise for PD global improvements w/ high intensity aerobic exe cerise on tandem bike improve bimanual coordination 4 weeks decreased tremor, rigidity, bradykineasia
74
high intensity resistance training PD
safe, muscle force production, pain, serum creatine kinase hypertrophy, strength, improved speed w/ stair descent, improved 6MWT decreased brady, improved QOL improved rise from chair for CRE
75
high intensity resistance training: focus on
``` postural extension hip ext, ab knee ext gastric/soleus trunk ext ```
