1. What are the three compo- - Sensory
nents within a neurological - Motor
assessment? - Autonomic
2. What is the definition of an An injury or lesion to the brain or spinal cord that cause damage
upper motor neurone lesion? to the cell bodies, axons or both of the upper motor neurone,
which extend from the cerebral centres to the cells in the spinal
column
3. What is the definition of a Paralysis result from an injury or lesion that damages the cell
lower motor lesion? bodies or axons of the lower motor neurone which are located
in the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord and the spinal and
peripheral nerves
4. Upper motor neurone lesion - Hypertonia (muscle tone)
presentations can include: - Spastic paralysis
- Reduced power
- Plantar response +ve Babinski
- Increased reflexes
- Clonus (spasm)
5. Lower motor lesion presenta- - Hypotonic
tions can include: - Flacid Paralysis
- Reduced power
- Loss of reflexes
- Fasicullations
6. Is cerebral palsy an upper or Upper motor neurone lesion
lower motor neurone lesion
example?
