1

afferent

sensory information sent to posterior/dorsal roots

New cards
2

efferent

motor information sent from the anterior root

New cards
3

reflex arc

one way street within the spinal cord. not sent to the brain

New cards
4

nerve injuries

compression or tension

New cards
5

types of nerve trauma

invasive (laceration/puncture) noninvasive (repetitive motion) impingement

New cards
6

order of symptoms in nerve root injury

  1. sensory loss

  2. motor loss

  3. reflex loss

New cards
7

in case of nerve root injury

SPINE BOARD ASAP

New cards
8

myotome

motor- muscle or group of muscles supplied by a specific spinal nerve

New cards
9

dermatome

sensory - Area of skin supplied by a single spinal nerve

New cards
10

grading of dermatome test

hypoesthesia: diminished sensation hyperesthesia: increased sensation anesthesia: total loss paraesthesia: abnormal (tingling/numbness)

New cards
11

how dermatomes are tested

sharp/dull discrimination 2-point discrimination light touch

*5 stimuli in 3 different regions of dermatome

New cards
12

myotome grading

positive (not firing) negative (firing)

*nerve sends a signal or it doesn't

New cards
13

types of myotome testing

Break testing (put patient in position and try to break them out of it (resistance)) manual resistance exercises

New cards
14

New cards
20

C7

29

L5/S1 myotome

planar flexion

New cards
30

New cards
40

Reflex Grading

0 = none 1+ = hyporeflexia 2+ = normal 3+ = hyperreflexia 4+ = hyperreflexia w/ clonus

New cards
41

Jendrassik maneuver

technique to distract patient to better relax LE reflex = hook fingers and pull apart UE reflex = cross ankle and pull apart

New cards
42
