neuro 1

• inability to recognize familiar objects with one form of sensation
• ex: visual agnosia

inability to initiate movement

• expressive aphasia
• difficulty with verbal expression, but can comprehend
• R hemiplegia (Broca's area is on the L)

• receptive aphasia
• disturbance in comprehension (auditory, reading, etc)

inability to perform previously doable tasks even though there's no loss of strength, coordination, sensation, or comprehension

lesion in cerebrum

pt can't plan an action, doesn't understand proper uses for familiar tools,

pt can't do a task on command but can do it spontaneously

inability to recognize objects by touch alone

inability to move muscles together in a coordinated manner

• uncoordinated movement, esp gait
• due to lesions in cerebellum

• slow, invol, worm-like, twisting motions
• seen in CP

• painful burning sensation
• often seen w CRPS type 1

10-60 seconds of apnea, then gradually increasing then decreasing depth and frequency of breaths

• depression of frontal lobe and diencephalic function
• seen w TBI and CHF

• rapid, invol, jerky motions
• seen with Huntington's

• rhythmic oscillation of a muscle in response to sustained stretch
• 2/2 UMNL

• extension of UE and LE
• 2/2 injury at brain stem

• flexion of UE with contraction of LE
• seen in comatose pts with lesions above the superior colliculus

• inabliity to judge distances
• esp in cerebellar dysfunction

• polyneuropathy, hits the PNS
• presents distal to proximal

• painful inflammation of psterior root ganglion
• caused by a virus
• results in formation of vesicles (fluid filled sacs) along a nerve/dermatome

• ptosis of eyelid, constriction of pupil, lack of sweat on ipsilat face
• ant inf or post inf cerebellar arteries

excessive pronation --> compression btwn 3rd and 4th metatarsals --> nerve enlarges --> metatarsalgia

inhibition of muscles antagonistic to those being facilitated

loss of balance in standing when eyes are closed

lack of awarenss of rel of one's own body parts or those of others

• deep coma with abnormal posturing
• if it persists, pt may have no rehab potential

• caused by damage to contralat optic tract 
• deficit of R or L half of both eyes
• injury to R side of brain hurts the L field of vision, so now the pt can only see out of the R side of her eyes 
• named for the side that she can't see out of

• optic chiasm
• tunnel vision
• loss of temporal/peripheral visual fields

(binasal -- can't see the medial fields)

• blind in one eye
• damage to optic nerve
