Important Things for Exam 1

2 categories of stroke

hemorrhagic and ischemic

define ischemic stroke

blood flow is blocked to the brain

more common than hemorrhagic

associated with permanent brain infarction

define hemorrhagic stroke

sudden bleeding in the brain

what is the function of the CSF

transports nutrients and waste

shock absorption

label the venous system of the brain

label the ventricles of the brain

label the arteries of the brain

what does the basilar artery supply

brainstem (controls alll major body functions)

ACA stroke is more likely to affect what body parts

lower extremities

MCA stroke is more likely to affect what body parts

hands and face

TIA (transient ischemic attack)

focal brain ischemia that causes sudden transient neurological deficits and is NOT accompanied by permanent brain infarction

will have negative results on imaging

ABCD2 score of what indicates high risk of stroke

>4

ABCD2 score determines what

likelihood of stroke after TIA

what are the common causes of ischemic stroke

thrombosis

embolism

systemic hypoperfusion

cerebral venous sinus thrombosis

define the difference between the ischemic core and the penumbra

penumbra is salvageable while the ischemic core is not

F.A.S.T

face drooping

arm weakness

speech difficulty

time to call 911

wernicke’s aphasia

comprehension of spoken words is impaired

broca’s aphasia

speech output is severely reduced

tPA

tissue plasminogen activator

clot buster medication; needs to be given within a certain amount of time to reverse or negate a stroke

TNK

tenecteplase

faster and more benefits than tPA

principles of neuro rehab

1. ICF

2. teamwork

3. person-centered care

4. prognosis

5. neural plasticity

6. motor control

7. functional movement re-ed

8. skill acquisition

9. exercise prescription

10. health promotion

11. self management

12. mindset

13. behavior change

what are the levels of consciousness

coma

stuporous

somnalent

lethargic

alert

name the cranial nerves, their function, and whether or not their sensory, motor, or both

go over cranial nerve assessment

levels of sit to stand

flexion momentum (start to lift off)

momentum transfer (lift off —> max DF)

extension (max DF —> end hip ext)

stabilization
