NBCE Part 2 Neuromuscular diagnosis
Questions With Verified Answers 2025\2026 A+
Grade
What are the characteristics of action potentials?
- accurate answers-Propagated and nongraded
What are the characteristics of receptor and synaptic potentials?
- accurate answers-Graded and nonpropagated
What is history (OPPQRST)?
- accurate answers-Onset
Palliative
Provokes
Quality
Radiating
Severity
Time/pattern
How do you determine tone?
- accurate answers-Patient relaxed
Passively stretch the muscle group and look for normal resistance
Palpate the muscle
Perform deep tendon reflexes
Findings: normal, decreased tone (flaccid/hypotonia), increased tone
(hypertonic/spastic/rigid)
What is a motor examination?
- accurate answers-More accurate than sensory
Estbalish postural alignment/faults
Identify perceived muscle imbalance
Observe- performance, initiation, speed, and termination of events/action
Observe position of the joints and note any signs of wasting and fasciculation
in the muscles
Perform each test bilaterally and compare the 2 sides. the joint should be
supported and patient moves the joint against the doctors resistance
