Describe the Color Vision test? |
Cover each eye while looking at a red pen and check for red desaturation and dullness. |
|
One eye deficits in visual fields indicates what? |
Lower Motor Neuron lesions |
|
Where do lesions occur with visual field deficits for both eyes? |
Behind the optic chiasm, and is UMN |
|
In Visual Extinction HEMINEGLECT what side to patients not see fingers? |
In visual extinction hemineglect, patients do not see fingers on the AFFECTED side which is usually the LEFT side |
|
Visual HEMINEGLECT is usually caused by what and where? |
Caused by CONTRALATERAL parietal lesions, neglect is usually more robust in the right hemisphere lesions |
|
Smooth Pursuit and Saccades are associated with what nerves? |
CN 3, 4, and 6 |
|
Describe the Smooth Pursuit drill |
Move a pen horizontally, vertically and then converge in front of the eyes. Then observe the eyes at rest and check for nystagmus, dysconjugate, and diplopia. |
|
What is being tested by the Visual tests? |
abnormalities in individual muscles or in cranial nerves from the brainstem to the orbit. |
|
What cause cause positive Visual tests? |
Spontaneous nystagmus can indicate metabolic condidtions, drugs, or peripheral or central vestibular dysfunction |
|
What CN controls Mastication? |
CN 5 Trigeminal |
|
Weakness of mastication muscles can be due to what? |
UMN lesions when synapsing onto CN5 motor nuceli, or in LMN trigeminal motor nuclei |
|
Describe the hearing test for CN8 |
Place a tuning fork to either ear and check for air conduction sound vs placing the fork on the mastoid process for mechanical sound. The Weber test places the fork at the vertex of the skull at midline |
|
What do individual with normal hearing hear better? If hearing loss is conductive what will they hear better? |
Conduction is heard better for normal folks, conductive hearing loss will better hear mechanical bone placement sound. |
|
What is being tested by CN8? |
Unilateral hearing loss is invariably caused by peripheral neural or mechanical lesions |
|
What nerves control Articulation? |
5, 7, 9, 10, and 12 |
|
What should be checked during Articulation tests? |
hoarse, slurred, quiet, nasal, low or high speech, and always check if it has CHANGED FROM BASELINE |
|
What is being tested during Articulation |
lesions in the motor cortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia, and pathways to the brainstem. UMN |
|
Cn 11 tests what? |
SCM and Trapezius. |
|
What is being tested and can cause CN 11 positive sign? |
Testing for lesions in the muscles, NM junction, and LMN of CN 11. Contralateral weakness can be caused from unilateral UMN lesions |
|
Describe the tongue protrusion test |
Observe tongue at rest in mouth, stick out and move from side to side and force it against cheek. |
|
What is being tested for the tongue? |
Fasciculations (quivering), curling, or unilateral movements.
Fasciculations are LMN lesions. Unilateral tongue weakness are LMN lesions or UMN lesions from the brain stem. |
|
What three sensory Asymmetry tests are being performed? |
Pin Prick, Joint Position, and 2 point discrimination |
|
Explain Graphesthesia and Sterognosis |
G: Draw a letter or number on the palm or finger
S: Close eyes and identify various object with one hand |
|
What is being tested in G and S? |
Somatosensory deficits can be caused by lesions in the PERIPHERAL NERVES
|
|
If Primary sensation is intact but G and S are deficient where would lesions be present? |
Lesions are present in the contralateral sensory cortex, UMN |
|
Describe the DTR Scale |
0 absent relfex 1+ trace reflex 2+ normal 3+ Brisk reflex 4+ Non-sustained clonus 5+ sustained clonus |
|
What is being tested in DTR? |
Abnormally increased reflexes (hyperreflexia) is indicative of UMN lesions |
|
Match the muscle for DTR to the spinal root level |
Biceps C5/6
BRAD C6
Triceps C7
Patellar L4
Achilles S1 |
|
Babinski's sign is associated with what and where? |
UMN along the corticospinal tract |
|
Tennis elbow tests should place hands where and cause stress to what muscle if positive? |
3rd digit dorsal side and proximal to the wrist. Extensor Digitorum muscle will present if positive |
|
Describe Berg Balance from 9-14 |
9 Pick up shoe 10 Check blindspot 11 360 turn both ways 12 Alternate stool stepping 13 Tandem stance 14 Single leg standing |
|
What are the scores for Berg balance? |
0-20 WC 21-40 AD with walking 41-56 Normal function |
|
What two methods are used to measure peripheral edema? |
Digital pressure x 5" for Soft Pitting
Measurement for Non-Pitting |
|
Describe the Edema Scale by depth and time |
1+ No shape change, <1/4" disappears IMD
2+ Pitting 1/4-1/2" for 10-15"
3+ Pitting 1/2- 1" for 1-2'
4+ Pitting >1" for 2-5' |
