Don't know?
Terms in this set (171)
,Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) Failure to supply blood to the brain causing death of
brain cells
Ischemic Stroke Most Common - Blood flow is obstructed due to
clotting causing insufficient blow flow from blood
vessels to brain (Thrombus or Embolism)
Hemorrhagic Stroke More severe - Due to a rupture of blood vessel
(brain bleed); most likely caused by a aneurysms
and arteriovenous malformations
Nonmodifiable risk factors for CVA Age
Gender
Ethnicity
Genetic Factors
Modifiable risk factors for CVA HTN (Hypertension)
DM (Diabetes Mellitus)
Disorders of heart rhythm
High Cholesterol
Smoking
Obesity
Poor Diet
Decreased Physical Activity
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) Similar symptoms like a stroke - short & resolve
completely
TIA can be a warning sign of stroke
Parkinson's Disease (PD) Most common movement disorder & second most
common neurodegenerative condition in aging
Progressive & variable condition
Risk factors for PD Hereditary and environmental
, Common symptoms for PD Tremor
Rigidity
Akinesia
Postural Instability
Tremors Begins as resting only affecting one side
(unilaterally) - can progress to bilateral or to
multibody part
Rigidity Stiffness & inflexibility - increased muscle tone
Akinesia Usually bradykinesia - slow movement & decrease in
spontaneous movement
Postural Instability difficulty remaining/standing upright or when
changing positions, retropulsion (tendency to lean
or fall backwards) - progress to shuffling gait
PD symptoms freezing of gait
micrography (small, cramped & bunched-up
handwriting)
changes in speech
swallow issues
loss of sense of smell
sleep disturbances
"Use it or Lose it" if the neural pathway is not utilized it will weaken
overtime - regular practice of skills to maintain and
strengthen connections
"Use it & Improve it" engaging in challenging activities can enhance
neural connections - potentially increase neural
pathways
Specificity targeted practice for skill to promote and
strengthen relevant neural pathways
