Diabetic Neuropathy tx
Tx DM; monitor blood glucose levels. PT for pain
management, safe EX program, foot care, fitness.

Huntington's dz:
Degeneration/atrophy of the BG and cerebral cortex. NT
become deficient and are unable to modulate mov't.
TERM
Alzheimer's dz etiology
unknown. Hypo that lower levels of NT, higher levels of
aluminum in brain, genetics, AI dz, abnormal processing
of amyloid, virus. Risk increase w/ age and if female.
,TERM
Alzheimer's dz:
Progressive --> deterioration and irreversible damage to
cerebral cortex and subcortical areas. Neurons
normally assoc. w/ Ach transmission deteriorate.
Develop amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.
TERM
Post-polio syndrome PPS: sx and tx
Sx: Vary. Slow and progressive weakness, fatigue, mm
atrophy, pain, swallowing probs.
Tx: No med intervention.
TERM
Alzheimer's dz tx
Meds to - acetylcholinesterase, alleviate cog sx, and
control behavior. Tacrine (cognex), donepezil (Aricept)
, and rivastigmine (Exelon). PT should focus on
maximizing function.
TERM
Epilepsy: etiology
Various classifications of seizures. Many cases are
idiopathic. Genetic, head trauma, dementia, CVA, DS,
autism.
