Radiculopathy, Myelopathy, Peripheral Neuropathy,
Headaches
1. Cervical radiculopathy is a descriptive term only (T/F): True
2. Cervical radiculopathy is a pathology of : Nerve root
3. Cause of cervical radiculopathy: Injury or compression
4. AKAs for cervical radiculopathy: Nerve root impingement, nerve entrapment, "pinched nerve"
5. Cervical radiculopathy can identify: Cervical disc, cervical spondylosis, cervi- cal stenosis
6. Cervical radiculopathy symptoms: Neck pain w/ radiating pain Tingling/numbness
Decreased sensation Hand movement
7. Optimal treatment for cervical radiculopathy: Has not been established
8. Etiology of c-spine canal stenosis: Multiple factors / combo
-congenitally narrow canal
-trauma
-disc lesion
-disease, hematoma, arthritis, etc.
-degenerative change
9. Most common cause of stenosis?: Degenerative changes Due to bony or soft tissue
changes
10.Canal stenosis involving one nerve root: Monoradiculopathy
11.Canal stenosis involving several nerve roots: Polyradiculopathy
12.Canal stenosis involving the central cord itself: Myelopathy

Headaches
13.Myelopathy age presentation: Geriatric patient
14.Progression of symptoms in myelopathy: Slow
15. may be the first sign of a myelopathy: Gait disturbance (clumsiness)
16.Progression of myelopathy: Arthralgia —> radiculopathy —> myelopathy
17.Later s/s of myelopathy: -Loss of fine motor skills
-lower extremity pain & paresthesia
-numbness , weakness
-loss of bowel & bladder control
18.Definition of cervical myelopathy: Compression of spinal cord that results in gradual loss of strength and
coordination
19.Myelopathy caused by: Spinal stenosis due to arthritis, osteophytes, tumor, disc hernia Timon
20.Spinal cord compression can be caused by any condition that puts pres- sure on the spinal cord (T/F): True
