USAHS CONDITIONS EXAM 2 FINAL STUDY
GUIDE 2026 COMPLETE SOLVED
QUESTIONS 100% CORRECT
◉_______________ is the capacity of neurons throughout the central
nervous system to change their structure and function in support of
normal development and learning, as well as in response to injury or
disease. Answer: Plasticity
◉Tetraplegia. Answer: Damage to the nervous tissue contained
within the cervical region of the spinal canal causes tetraplegia.
Tetraplegia refers to impairment or loss of motor and/or sensory
function in the UEs and LEs, trunk, and pelvic organs.
◉Paraplegia. Answer: Damage to the nervous tissue contained
within the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions fo the spinal canal
causes paraplegia. Depending on the level of lesion, paraplegia can
involve impairment or loss of motor and/or sensory function in the
trunk, LE, and pelvic organs. Motor and sensory function is normal
in the UEs.
◉The neurological level of injury is defined as the most ______________
level of the spinal cord that exhibits intact sensory and motor
functioning bilaterally.. Answer: Caudal
, ◉Spasticity is likely to be present (above or below) the lesion
ipsilaterally.. Answer: below
◉Compensation. Answer: The use of compensatory movements
and/or adaptive equipment to perform functional activities.
◉Restoration. Answer: The use of therapeutic strategies that
emphasize the development and use of normal movement patterns
to perform functional activities.
◉Bradycardia, bradyarrhythmias, hypotension, and orthostatic
hypotension are usually significant only in people with lesions above
________.. Answer: T6
◉Intervention: Acute Care. Answer: Educating patients and family
- understanding injury
- importance of skin care
- prevention of secondary complications
Basic ADLs
Goals may depend on whether or not the patient has funding to
transfer to inpatient rehab
- This may be the only therapy that the patient receives
