What is peripheral neuropathy? - correct answer -- Caused by
damage to peripheral nerves and may be caused by:
* Trauma
* Infection
* Metabolic disorders
* Heredity
* Toxin exposure
- Peripheral nervous system: Main components: Axons, Myelin.
Peripheral neuropathy classifications: Axonal degeneration.
Segmental demyelinization. Damage to peripheral nerves can
interrupt communication between brain, body.
- Polyneuropathies (Most common): Bilateral sensory disorders.
Most common types associated with diabetes. Appear first in toes
and feet, progress upward.
- Mononeuropathies (Ex: carpal tunnel): Isolated, affected a single
nerve. Causes: injury, trauma, repetitive motions.
What are the risk factors for peripheral neuropathy? - correct
answer -- Diabetes
- Alcohol abuse
- Vitamin deficiencies, especially B vitamins
- Immune system suppression
, Page | 3
- Autoimmune diseases
- Exposure to toxins
- Kidney, liver, thyroid disorders
- Age
- Height
What are the motor symptoms of peripheral neuropathy? - correct
answer -- Weakness in arms or legs
- Difficulty walking or running
- Stumbling
- Dropping things
- Tiring easily
- Clumsiness, lack of coordination
What are other clinical manifestations of peripheral neuropathy? -
correct answer -- Depend on nerves affected, amount of damage
- Polyneuropathy: Distal paresthesias. Aching, burning, or
shooting pain. Cold feet. Impaired sensations of pain, temp.
- GBS: Stocking-glove pattern.
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT): Most common inherited
peripheral neuropathy. Slowly progressive degeneration of

between adolescence, young adulthood.

What are preventative measures for peripheral neuropathy? -
correct answer -- Controlling medical conditions
- Healthy diet of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains
- Intake of Vitamin B12
- Avoid triggers: repetitive motions, smoking, toxic chemicals,
cramped positions.
What are diagnostic tests for peripheral neuropathy? - correct
answer -Electromyography
Thyroid function tests
