Introduction to
Neurodegenerative Disorders
Neurodegenerative disorders progressively target and destroy
certain areas of brain function. This leads to tremors, paralysis,
reduced cognitive function, poor memory recall, and speech and/or
language problems. These debilitating conditions may have a
significant impact on friends and family even before a client requires
total care. Dementia and Parkinson’s disease are two examples of
common neurodegenerative conditions.
This learning module focuses on the disease process of
neurodegenerative disorders and enables you to meet the following
course outcomes:
CO 1: Analyze pathophysiologic mechanisms associated with
selected disease states across the lifespan.
CO 2: Examine the way in which homeostatic, adaptive, and
compensatory physiological mechanisms can be supported
and/or altered through specific therapeutic interventions
across the lifespan.
CO 3: Distinguish risk factors associated with selected disease
states across the lifespan.
CO 4: Integrate advanced pathophysiological concepts in the
diagnosis and treatment of health problems in selected
populations.

Characteristics of
Neurodegenerative Disorders
Which of the following is a common characteristic of
neurodegenerative disorders?
Reversible neurological deficits
Rapid progression and immediate onset of symptoms
Progressive loss of structure or function of neurons
Primarily affecting the peripheral nervous system
Neurodegenerative disorders are primarily characterized by the
progressive degeneration of the structures and functions of the
brain (not the peripheral nervous system), especially neurons. This
process is usually gradual and worsens over time (not rapidly),
leading to irreversible (not reversible) symptoms, including memory
loss, impaired judgment, and motor dysfunction.
