| | | | | | | | | | |
visible
|
2. 25% of normal strength; muscle movement against gravity WITH SUPPORT
| | | | | | | | |
3. 50% of normal strength; normal movement against gravity
| | | | | | |
4. 75% of normal strength; full movement against gravity and minimal resistance
| | | | | | | | | |
5. 100% of normal strength, full movement against gravity, and can push/pull against
| | | | | | | | | | |
resistance
|
4. Rheumatoid arthritis: results in chronic swelling and thickening of
| the joints in | | | | | | | | |
the fingers which can limit the range of motion.
| | | | | | | | |
5. Swan neck: deformities are a hyperextension of the distal interph
| | | | | | | | | alangeal joint. |
6. Osteoarthritis: a degenerative joint disease seen as nodules on t he joints | | | | | | | | | |
(Heberden nodes). It is a bony overgrowth. Flexion and deviation defo
| | rmitiescan | | | | | | | | | | |
develop.
|

8. Thenar atrophy: is a loss of movement in the muscle pad found be in
| | | | | | | | | | | | | low the thumb | |
the palm of the hand. (thumb looks enlarged)
| | | | | | | |
9. Tenosynovitis: is an infection of the flexor tendon sheath in a fing | | | | | | | | | | | er.
10. Hallux Valgus: This is an abnormality in which the great toe is dev andiatedlaterally
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
may overlap the second toe. An enlarged, painful, inflamed bursa form (bunion) may
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
on the medial side.
| | | |
11. gouty arthritis: acute attacks of arthritis, usually in a single joint (
| | | | | | | | | | | especially the |
great toe), caused by hyperuricemia (an excessive level of uric acid i
| | | | | | | | | | | | | n the blood)| |
12. Osteoporosis: "porous bone" occurs when the body loses too m | | | | | | | | | uch bone, |
makes too little bone, or both.
| | | | | |
13. bone density facts based on race/gender: Men have denser bones than
| | | | | | | | | |
women, African Americans have denser bones than Caucasians, Bone density of
| | | | | | | | | | |
Chinese and Japanese individuals is below that of Caucasians.
| | | | | | | | |
14. risk reduction for osteoporosis: increasephysicalactivity,increase calcium &
| | | | | | | | |
vitamin D intake, avoid excessive caffeine, alcohol, steroids, & smoking, & use of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
estrogen replacement drugs
| | |
15. Older individuals risk for osteoporosis bc?: their bone resorption increases,
| | | | | | | | |
calcium absorption decreases, and the production of osteoblasts decrease as well
| | | | | | | | | | |
16. Cerebellum: Balance and coordination; receives information from the sensory | | | | | | | |
systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regul ates motor
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
movements.
The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, b alance,coor-
| | | | | | | | |
dination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular ac tivity.It is also
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
important for learning motor behaviors.

17. sensory cranial nerves: I, II, VIII; includes both "general" sensation such as | | | | | | | | | | |
temperature and touch, and "special" senses such as taste, vision, smell, balance
| | | | | | | | | | | |
and hearing.
| |
18. motor cranial nerves: III, IV, VI, XI, XII; provide movement to specific areas of the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
head and neck area.
| | | |
19. Parkinson's disease (PD): a degenerative, progressive disorder thataffects | | | | | | |
nerve cells in deep parts of the brain called the basal ganglia and the
| | substantia | | | | | | | | | | | | |
nigra.pt have a progressive loss of control over movement, resulting i a n tremors and
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
shuffling gait

| | |
S - Speech difficulty

T - Time to Call 911
| | | | |
interventions to stroke depend on what type it is (blood clot or brain bleed) | | | | | | | | | | | |
21. Reflexes: are an involuntary response to a stimulus.Inappropriate or absence of | | | | | | | | | | |
a reflex response may indicate a motor neuron disorder.
| | | | | | | | |
22. reflex grading scale: 4+ Hyperactive, very brisk; indicative of a disorder 3+ | | | | | | | | | | |
More brisk than normal; not indicative of a disorder
| | | | | | | | |
2+ Normal, usual response
| | |
1+ Decreased, less active than normal 0
| | | | | |
No response
| |
23. Testing for Meningeal Irritation/Inflammation: Kernig's and Brudzinski's signs | | | | | | |
are clinical tests used to assess the integrity and inherent tension residing within the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
spinal cord and it's meninges.These tests are often performed to assess a patient
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
suspected to have meningitis and other spino-cerebellar lesions capable of affecting
| | | | | | | | | | |
the spinal cord.
| | |
24. Kernig's sign:: 1.The patient lies supine. | | | | | |
2. The hip and knee are flexed by the examiner up to 90 degrees..
| | | | | | | | | | | |
3. The examiner then attempts to passively straighten the leg at the k nee.
| | | | | | | | | | |
4. In a patient with a positive Kernig's sign, the patient experiences p ain along the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
spinal cord and the pain limits passive extension of the knee
| | | | | | | | | | |
25. Brudzinki's sign: 1.The patient lies supine in extension. | | | | | | | |
2. The examiner gently grasps the patient's head in the occipital lobe
| region and | | | | | | | | | |
attempts flexion of the neck.
| | | | |
3. Brudzinski's sign occurs when flexion of the neck causes involunta ry flexion of | | | | | | | | | | |
the knee and hip (an attempt by the patient to lessen the stretching of
| | | theinflamed | | | | | | | | | | | | |
meninges).
