Q

Why do a neuro eval?

A
  1. identify if disease process or impairment is impacting the nervous system
  2. localize the lesions: recognize patterns and deduce pathology

Q
NAGI Model: Pathology
-what is it
-give 4 examples:
Stroke
TBI
Parkinsons
MS
A

underlying disease/defect occurs at the cellular level
1. Stroke: impaired blood supply to CNS bc thromboembolsim or bleeding – bld supply lost

  1. TBI: acute trauma to the brain - damage can be diffuse
  2. Parkinsons: specific damaged substantia nigra -tremor, rigidity
  3. MS: autoimmune CNS demyelination (lesions can be anywhere in nervous system)

Q

Lesion localization

  • focal
  • diffuse
  • multifocal
  • multifocal and diffuse
A

based on characteristics of lesion can assume location

  • focal: in one spot (specific sx) [parkinsons]
  • diffuse: many regions [MS]
  • multifocal: many foci [alzheimers in various lobes]
  • multifocal and diffuse: TBI (force through frontal lobe and forced to other side of the brain and diffuse in btwm)

Q

Non-myotomal/non-dermatomal

A

above the cord stroke: it is not a myatome or dermatome pattern but instead it is a diffuse weakness because it is above the cord.

25
Validity vs Reliability
validity: does test measure what it claims to measure reliability: repeatable: inter-rater reliability, intra-rater reliability
26
berg balance scale
test of falls (not of balance) 56= low risk of falls | <42 high risk of falls
27
Specificity vs Sensitivity
specificity: able to pick up various signs and sx of pathology Sensitivity - able to rule out other pathologies
28
motor exam to test?
muscle strength (force output), motor function (tasks), motor control (nervous system with muscle relationship) - motor force and timing locate the lesion examine for symmetry, hypertrophy Psuedohypertrophy in duchennes), atrophy
29
what is muscle tone
normal resting state of muscle, normal tension of muscle, created by ongoing activities of Motor Unit recruitment
30
Types of Decreased/Increased Tone
Decreased: hypotonia, flaccidity Increased: hypertonia, spasticity, rigidity
31
Spasticity
velocity dependent reaction to stretch - increased "gain" of the stretch reflex - hallmark of the UMN syndrome - hyperactive reflex to stretch - must be CNS (motoric involvement) [not PNS]
32
``` MAS 0 1 1+ 2 3 4 ```
Modified Ashworth Scale 0: no increase in tone 1: slightly increased tone/ catch and release/ min resistance at end of ROM 1+: slightly increased tone/ a catch/ minimal resistance throughout the remainder of ROM (less than 1/2) 2: More marked increase in muscle tone through most of the ROM, but affected part(s) easily moved 3: Considerable increase in muscle tone, passive movement difficult 4: Affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension
33
exertional spasticity
increased spasticity with exertion
34
provocative testing
to see if spasticity under any conditions - spasticity is never normal (if a pt with CNS involvement does not show spasticity then rev them up to see what fatigue will do)
35
Rigidity - cogwheel - led pipe
rigidity: non velocity dependent rxn to stretch - cogwheel: successive catches and releases (parkinsons) -lead pipe: stiff and not flexible that remains uniform throughout the range of passive movement (alzheimers)
36
T or F: Spasticity indicates CNS involvement
T
37
T or F: CNS involvement indicates spasticity
F
38
flaccidity
minimal or absent muscle tone minimal or absent muscle contractions to command or reflex absent or diminished stretch reflex ----if do a quick stretch no resistance will be felt
39
What are the causes of flaccidity?
1. Normal 2. LMN lesion 3. muscle damage 4. component of spinal or cortical shock
40
Can flaccidity be due to CNS involvement?
flaccidity can be do to CNS involvement = cortical spinal shock (stroke, SCI) nervous system shuts down and get flaccidity below the level of the lesion for hours to months rehab: work on rom dont let a contracture on involved side
41
Diaschisis
shock - can be cortical or spinal (following cortical spinal injury) - period of flaccidity immediately following lesion, can last hours to months - unable to prognose until shock is resolved
42
Upper Motor Neuron Syndrome-dx
TRIAD of symptoms following CNS lesions comprised of 1. spasticity 2. hyperreflexia 3. pathological reflexes (clonus, babinksi) Upper motor neuron syndrome (UMNS) is the motor control changes that can occur in skeletal muscle after an upper motor neuron lesion.
43
Lower Motor Neuron Syndrome
1. flaccidity 2. hyporeflexia/arreflexia 3. occasional fasiculations (muscle twitch)
44
AROM Test
(see notes)
45
Spasticity Eval
prom slowly to assess range limits then do quickly | may need to provacative testing by repeating
46
Deep Tendon Reflex
- --monosynaptic stretch reflex - --stimulus quick stretch of tendon with reflex hammer - -response: muscle contraction: visible motion with palpable or observational contraction
47
DTR Technique
1. locate and expose tendon 2. tendon should be on relative stretch 3. strike sharply with hammer at a 90 degree angle to the tendon 4. use Jendrassik manouvre to reinforce (interlock fingers) 5. alternate: strike muscle belly
48
C5
biceps (musculocutaneous)
49
C6
brachiradialis (radial)
50
C7
triceps (radial)
51
L3, L4
Quadriceps (femoral)
52
S1,S2
achilles tendon (tibial)
53
``` DTR Grades 0 1+ 2+ 3+ 4+ 5+ ``` which have clonus?
0-ABSENT-no visible contraction 1+ hyporeflexia: slight contraction, need reinfocement 2+ normal slight muscle contraction w/ jt movement 3+ hyperreflexia: brisk contraction with mod jt movement 4+ abnormal hyperreflexia: strong contraction w/ 1-3 beats of clonus 5+ abnormal hyperreflexia: sustained clonus
54
UMN
``` CVA TBI SCI MS CP Brain Tumor ALS ``` but not in parkinsons, no spasticity in parkinsons, have rigidity
55
Babinski what indicates UMN? what indicates LMN?
plantar response blunt probe down across sole of foot from heel to toe - negative: toe flexion an adduction, angle plantarflexion - positive sign: toes fan an extend, ankle dorsiflexion - indicates UMN - equivocal response: toes go up and down - no response: LMN lesion - triple flexion response: ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, hip flexion (so flexion x 3)
56
Clonus what indicates UMN? what indicates LMN?
rhythmic beating of jt in response to sustained stretch-bring ankle from plantarflexion to full dorsiflexion and hold at end range. normal: 1-1.5 beats abnormal: 2-5 beats or sustained more than 5 beats (UMN) absent: LMN or normal and just toned
57
MAS 0
0: no increase in tone
58
MAS 1
1: slightly increased tone/ catch and release/ min resistance at end of ROM
59
MAS 1+
1+: slightly increased tone/ a catch/ minimal resistance throughout the remainder of ROM (less than 1/2)
60
