(humpback)
|


2.



2. Lordosis: abnormal curvature of the lumbar spine; common in pregna
| | | | | | | | | nt women
|




3. Muscle strength scale: 0. 0%, complete paralysis
| | | | | |


1. 10% of normal strength, no movement but muscle contraction is palpable and
| | | | | | | | | | |


visible
|


2. 25% of normal strength; muscle movement against gravity WITH SUPPORT
| | | | | | | | |


3. 50% of normal strength; normal movement against gravity
| | | | | | |


4. 75% of normal strength; full movement against gravity and minimal resistance
| | | | | | | | | |


5. 100% of normal strength, full movement against gravity, and can push/pull against
| | | | | | | | | | |


resistance
|


4. Rheumatoid arthritis: results in chronic swelling and thickening of
| the joints in | | | | | | | | |


the fingers which can limit the range of motion.
| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | alangeal joint. |

(Heberden nodes). It is a bony overgrowth. Flexion and deviation defo
| | rmitiescan | | | | | | | | | | |


develop.

| | | | | | | | | | | especially the |


great toe), caused by hyperuricemia (an excessive level of uric acid i

12. Osteoporosis: "porous bone" occurs when the body loses too m | | | | | | | | | uch bone, |


makes too little bone, or both.
| | | | | |




13. bone density facts based on race/gender: Men have denser bones than
| | | | | | | | | |


women, African Americans have denser bones than Caucasians, Bone density of
| | | | | | | | | | |


Chinese and Japanese individuals is below that of Caucasians.
| | | | | | | | |


14. risk reduction for osteoporosis: increasephysicalactivity,increase calcium &
| | | | | | | | |


vitamin D intake, avoid excessive caffeine, alcohol, steroids, & smoking, & use of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


estrogen replacement drugs
| | |


15. Older individuals risk for osteoporosis bc?: their bone resorption increases,
| | | | | | | | |


calcium absorption decreases, and the production of osteoblasts decrease as well
| | | | | | | | | | |


16. Cerebellum: Balance and coordination; receives information from the sensory | | | | | | | |


systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regul ates motor
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


movements.
The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, b alance,coor-
| | | | | | | | |


dination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular ac tivity.It is also
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


important for learning motor behaviors.

17. sensory cranial nerves: I, II, VIII; includes both "general" sensation such as | | | | | | | | | | |


temperature and touch, and "special" senses such as taste, vision, smell, balance
| | | | | | | | | | | |


and hearing.
| |


18. motor cranial nerves: III, IV, VI, XI, XII; provide movement to specific areas of the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


head and neck area.
| | | |


19. Parkinson's disease (PD): a degenerative, progressive disorder thataffects | | | | | | |


nerve cells in deep parts of the brain called the basal ganglia and the

| | | | | | | | |

23. Testing for Meningeal Irritation/Inflammation: Kernig's and Brudzinski's signs | | | | | | |


are clinical tests used to assess the integrity and inherent tension residing within the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


spinal cord and it's meninges.These tests are often performed to assess a patient
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


suspected to have meningitis and other spino-cerebellar lesions capable of affecting
| | | | | | | | | | |


the spinal cord.
| | |


24. Kernig's sign:: 1.The patient lies supine. | | | | | |


2. The hip and knee are flexed by the examiner up to 90 degrees..
| | | | | | | | | | | |


3. The examiner then attempts to passively straighten the leg at the k nee.
| | | | | | | | | | |


4. In a patient with a positive Kernig's sign, the patient experiences p ain along the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


spinal cord and the pain limits passive extension of the knee
| | | | | | | | | | |


25. Brudzinki's sign: 1.The patient lies supine in extension. | | | | | | | |


2. The examiner gently grasps the patient's head in the occipital lobe
| region and | | | | | | | | | |


attempts flexion of the neck.
| | | | |


3. Brudzinski's sign occurs when flexion of the neck causes involunta ry flexion of | | | | | | | | | | |


the knee and hip (an attempt by the patient to lessen the stretching of
| | | theinflamed | | | | | | | | | | | | |


meninges).
|


26. cranial nerve I: Olfactory (smell) | | | |
