NR507 CNS- SENSORY & MOTOR
DISORDERS
_________ involves an implantable device that directly sends electrical signals to
the basal ganglia which counteracts the aberrant signaling in Parkinson's disease
- answer-Deep brain stimulation
A multi - focal neuropathy is purely a motor neuropathy that is characterized by
motor deficits in the distribution of single nerve without associated sensory loss
caused by vasculitis or diabetes - answer-True
An EMG can help determine if the neuropathy is axonal , demyelinating or both -
answer-True
Autonomic neuropathy involves damage to the nerves that regulate body
functions that is within the individual's control - answer-False
Autonomic neuropathy involves damage to the nerves that regulate body
functions that out of the individual's control - answer-True
Can be proximal or distal with primarily motor involvement - answer-Symmetric
Chronic condition with sensory , motor , or mixed involvement that involves
microvascular compression - answer-Focal
Conduction nerve studies can help determine if the neuropathy is axonal ,
demyelinating or both - answer-True
diagnostic tests used to diagnose Multiple Sclerosis - answer-An MRI that shows
multiple CNS lesions called white matter plaque
Cerebrospinal fluid analysis Visual evoked potential
Difficulty or unclear speech that is due to plaques in the brain stem - answer-
Dysarthria
Drugs used to treat restless leg syndrome include : - answer-Dopamine drugs
Benzodiazepines
Opioids
Anticonvulsants
Alpha - 2 agonists
Iron
Identify the types of causes of small fiber neuropathies : - answer-Metabolic
syndrome
Vitamin B - 12 deficiency
Thyroid dysfunction
In Alzheimer's disease , the microtubules become misfolded and tangled which
alters their function - answer-True
Involves involuntary forceful dorsiflexion of foot that occurs every 20-40 seconds
during sleep - answer-Periodic Limb Movement Disorder
