Assesses standing balance and risk for falls  3 trails with calculated average at the end  Ranges  20-40 years = 14.5-17 inches  41-69 years = 13.5-15 inches  70-87 years = 10.5-13.5 inches  Below appropriate range of age group = increase risk risk of falling

Assesses visual, vestibular, and somatosensory  Test with eyes open versus close  Compensation of vision will indicate a mild lesion of the vestibular or somatosensory input  Sharpen Romberg can also be done with heel-to-toe stance

Contexto

Assess increased risks for falls (do not confuse this with Berg) First section assesses balance and second section assesses gait  All tasks are scored from 0-2  Max score of 28  As score decreases, risk of falls increases  Score that is lower than 19 is a high risk for fall

Peripheral nerves (PNS)  31 pairs  Contains sensory, motor, and autonomic neurons  Most PNS have a ventral root (efferent[motor]) and dorsal root (afferent[sensory]) component  This is the basic of a reflex since it does not reach the brain to be process only a reactions to the spinal cord  Simple anatomy terms: Axon = part of the nerve where impulses travel away  Dendrites = Area of nerve where impulses are received   Motor unit = all of the muscles innervated by this nerve  Myelin = lipid sheaths that protect neuro-pathways and increase conductivity  Nerve conduction velocity = speed of nerve impulse  Neruons ​​​​​​​= Nerves basically  Nodes of ranvier = a gap between nerves of nerves to tissues where impulses jumps to the next  Saltatory conduction = the action potential when jumping from node to node where decrease salts = increase conductivity  Schwann cells = form of myelin that is only in the PNS Types of fibers  A fibers  Large fibers  Highly myelinated  High conductivity  B Fibers  Medium fibers  Reasonable myelination  Reasonable conductivity  C Fibers  Small fibers  Low myelination  Low conductivity

CNS Brain, spinal cord, and Brain stem  Function: Main control center  Protected by meninges, cerebral spinal fluid, skull and vertebra  Types of matter  White matter is "inside" the brain that are umyelinated neurons  Gray matter is "outside" with myelnated neurons  PNS 12 Cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves (5 cervical, 12 Thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, 1 coccygeal)  Function: Anterior root  Carries info away from CNS in spinal nerves (Efferent)  Posterior root  Carries info towards CNS in spinal nerves (Afferent)  Autonomic nervous system (ANS) Sympathetic division Emergency response  Fight or flight  Norepinephrine neurotransmitter to create a response   Parasympathetic division  Relaxation Restores energy  Acetylcholine neurotransmitter to relax the body

Forebrain  Cerebrum  Contains the corpus callosum which relays info between the two hemispheres  Has sulci and fissures  Frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital lobes  Midbrain Also known as the reflex center for visual, auditory, and tactile responses.  Hippocampus  Responsible for forming/storing new memories  Basal ganglia  ​​​​​​​Made of gray matter  Responsible for voluntary movement  Regulates autonomic movement, posture, muscle tone, and controls motor response  Produces dopamine  Amygdala  ​​​​​​​Responsible for emotional and social processing (fear, arousal, and processing of memory) Thalamus  ​​​​​​​Relay station for all sensory info  Coordinates sensory perception and movement  Hypothalamus  ​​​​​​​Receives and processes info from ANS Assist with homeostasis  Subthalamus  ​​​​​​​Regulates voluntary movement in skeletal muscles  Epithalamus  ​​​​​​​Secretes melatonin which helps regulation involuntary movement  Circadian rhythms (internal clock, hear beats, etc.  Hindbrain  Cerebellum Responsible for coordination of movements, maintaining posture, and balance through muscle tone and positioning of extremities  Damage to this usually indicates issues on the isilateral side  Brainstem   Pons Regulates breathing rate, orientation of head in relation the sound and vision  Medulla oblongata Made up of white matter  Influences ANS with respiratory rate and heart rate Involves with reflexes of vomiting, sneezing, and coughing
