Study Notes
Cerebral Stroke Therapy
- Undifferentiated therapy of cerebral stroke involves the use of antihypertensives and diuretics, aminocaproic acid, heparin, and low molecular weight dextran
- Other treatment options include blood volume expansion and osmotherapy
Bulbar Palsy Symptoms
- Aphonia, dysphagia, dysarthria, muscle atrophy, and absence of the pharyngeal reflex
- Paresis of the muscles of the tongue, ptosis, and dysphagia
- Aphonia, paresis of mimic muscles
Tendon Reflexes
- Increase in tendon reflexes is noted in cases of pyramidal pathway damage
- Damage to the anterior horns of the spinal cord can also cause an increase in tendon reflexes
- Myelitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the spinal cord
Nucleus of the Facial Nerve
- Located in the medulla oblongata
- Responsible for controlling facial expressions
Reflex Arcs
- The cremaster reflex arc closes at the level of L2
- The knee jerk reflex arc closes at the level of L2-L4
Trigeminal Neuralgia
- Characterized by sudden attacks of pain in the face
- Pain is often observed at night and is not associated with chewing or talking
- Symptoms include paroxysmal pain, extremely intense pain, and shooting pain
Physiotherapy Procedures
- Treatment of trigeminal neuralgia involves the use of acupuncture, electrophoresis, and phonophoresis
- Antineuralgic agents and B group vitamins are also used to treat neuralgia
Meningitis
- Divided into acute, subacute, chronic, toxic, and fulminant forms
- Clinical signs include headaches and dizziness, paresthesia in one half of the body, and weakness of the limbs
Parkinson's Disease
- Characterized by muscle stiffness, muscle weakness, muscle atony, and incoordination
- The most common symptom is muscle stiffness
Multiple Sclerosis
