NM1 Exam 1

You are preparing for an initial eval with a new patient. You know he had a CVA, but you can't find in the chart which cerebral artery was involved. During the eval you note the following deficits: Left-sided hemiparesis and sensory loss with mostly LE involvement and mental confusion.

Based solely upon these findings, which artery was most likely involved?

You are preparing for an initial eval with a new patient. You know he had a CVA, but you can't find in the chart which cerebral artery was involved. During the eval you note the following deficits: left-side hemiparesis and sensory loss with mostly UE involvement, Homonymous Hemianopsia, and left-side neglect.

Based solely upon these findings, which artery was most likely involved?

You are preparing for an initial eval with a new patient. You know he had a CVA, but you can't find in the chart which cerebral artery was involved. During the eval you note the following deficits: Right-sided hemiparesis and sensory loss with mostly UE involvement, homonymous hemianopsia, apraxia, and aphasia.

Based solely upon these findings, which artery was most likely involved?

You are preparing for an initial eval with a new patient. You know she had a CVA, but you can't find in the chart which cerebral artery was involved. During the eval you note the following deficits: Transient left-sided hemiparesis and sensory loss and left-sided homonymous hemianopsia

Based solely upon these findings, which artery was most likely involved?

At which Brunnstrom Level is Spasticity at its worst?

Which Motor Control Theory states : "Reflexes are modified to adapt to the task via central commands."

Which Motor Control Theory can be described as "an integrated theory of motor control that allows for flexibility of motor patterns (versus stereotyped movements) that can adapt to the task and the environmental constraints."

Which Motor Control Theory states that "Reflexes are the building blocks of complex behavior."

Typical onset of Multiple Sclerosis begins during which of the following age brackets?

Typical onset of Parkinson's Disease begins during which of the following age brackets?

Which type of Multiple Sclerosis is described below?

• Characterized by discrete attacks of neurological deficits with either full or partial recovery in subsequent weeks to months.
• The periods between relapses are characterized by lack of disease progression.

Which type of Multiple Sclerosis is described below?

• Characterized by an initial relapsing-remitting course, followed by a change in clinical course with progression to steady and irreversible decline with or without continued acute attacks.
• May be the result of progressive axonal loss rather than new lesions.

Which type of Multiple Sclerosis is described below?

• Characterized by disease progression and steady functional decline from onset; patients may experience modest fluctuations in neurological disability but discrete attacks do not occur.

Which type of Multiple Sclerosis is described below?

• Characterized by a steady deterioration in disease from onset but with occasional acute attacks.
• Intervals between attacks are characterized by continuing disease progression.
