CBMT Questions with Complete Solutions
cerebral palsy set or series of disorders exhibited by difficulty in movement, voluntary
muscle control, or posture resulting from severe brain injury during early childhood (congenital);
conditions categorized according to limb movement (-plegia)
spina bifida open defect in the spinal column caused by abnormal fetal development; caused
by a failure of the back arches of the vertebra to close before birth; many disabilities associated
Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) technique primarily used in neurological
approach/model, used to facilitate rehab of movements that are intrinsically and necessarily
rhythmic, such as gait; practicing walking will improve both timing and speed of movement;
improvements in spatial aspects of gait, such as length of stride, range of motion, trajectory
fluidity, and associated muscle activation patterns, can be observed
tardive dyskinesia neurological disorder side effect of taking certain medications over
prolonged period of time; marked by involuntary facial grimaces, movement of the arms and
legs, rocking motions, and bizarre lip and tongue movements; usually irreversible, but symptoms
can be reduced by taking other medications or by discontinuing or reducing levels of
antidepressants, antihistamines, L-Dopa, and some antipsychotic drugs
,Osteoarthritis characterized by inflammation of joints, cartilage covering, and bone; causes
stiffness, swelling, and pain, making movement difficult; changes are irreversible, so treatment
consists of managing pain and maintaining flexibility
Osteoporosis common condition mainly affecting postmenopausal women; bones lose mass,
become brittle, and are easily fractured
myocardial infarction (MI) also called a heart attack, occurs when blockage of an artery
interferes with blood supply to the heart; symptoms include chest pain, decreased blood pressure,
difficulty breathing, and a weak pulse
cerebrovascular accident (CVA) commonly referred to as a stroke, occurs when blood flow to
the brain is restricted, or when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures (an aneurism)
Glaucoma disease of the eye, progresses slowly, often without noticeable symptoms; caused
by excessive accumulation of fluid in the eye, leading cause of blindness in older adults
, presbycusis most common age-related dysfunction of hearing, an abnormal physiological
deterioration of the auditory system; higher frequencies are first affected, followed by decrease
in ability to hear lower frequencies, which is more serious as it affects the ability to understand
speech
Gastritis and Gastric Ulcers inflammation of the lining of the stomach; symptoms include
pain in upper abdomen, significant weight loss, and dehydration; complications from bleeding
become more frequent with age; treatment involves use of medication during early stages and
surgery for most severe cases
Diverticulitis after age 50, bulges or pockets created by weaknesses in abdominal/instestinal
wall and areas become inflamed; symptoms include pain, nausea, and change in bowel habits;
treatment includes diet modification for mild cases or surgery for more advanced forms
SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) antidepressants that affect levels of a specific
chemical neurotransmitter in the brain
