A patient having experienced a L MCA ischemic stroke will most likely present with:
A. Sparing of tongue motor control
B. Full tongue motor control
C. Pushers syndrome towards weak L side
D. Sparing of the SCM - ANS D
Sparing = pt. will have some motor control
A & B = Tongue is unilateral innervation, so it will not be spared and they will not have full
motor control.
C = the R side will be weak because it was a L MCA
D = SCM is bilaterally innervated, so one side will be ok.

C. apraxis
D. expressive aphasia - ANS C
Apraxia: difficulty with sequencing mm's to produce speech
