Study Notes
Neurocognitive Disorders
- People are not born with a neurocognitive disorder
- Alopecia areata is not a neurocognitive disorder
- Corticosteroids can cause fluid retention
- Therapeutic Recreation Ontario is not an Educational/Advocacy Organization for Neurocognitive Disorders
- Neurocognitive disorders can be caused by environmental risk factors
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Multiple Sclerosis affects the central nervous system
- If myelin is damaged, nerve impulses are delayed or blocked
- Women are more likely to be diagnosed with MS than men
- There is no cure for MS
- Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) is the most common form of MS
Heart Disease
- Physical inactivity is a modifiable risk factor for heart disease
- Jogging or brisk walking is most beneficial for heart health
- Adults should engage in physical activity for 150 minutes per week for heart health
- Increased energy is not a symptom of heart disease
- Recreational therapy in heart disease treatment helps patients return to daily activities and improve quality of life
Amputation
- Diabetes is the most common reason for needing an amputation
- Toe amputation the most common
- Increased blood circulation is not a secondary problem after an amputation
- Phantom limb sensation does not occur only when experiencing an amputation below the waist.
- Energy conservation techniques are a primary focus post-prosthesis for recreation therapy intervention.
Parkinson's Disease
- Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder
- The basal ganglia is the part of the brain most affected
- Dopamine is the primary neurotransmitter involved
- Muscle rigidity is a common symptom
- Excessive sweating is not typically considered a symptom
Anxiety
- The vagus nerve is responsible for emotional responses
- Causes for anxiety can be genetics, life events, and brain chemistry
- The sympathetic nerve causes anxiety
- Women are more likely to have anxiety
- There was a 3.6% jump in women aged 15-24 between 2012-2022
