Rehab II Stroke

What are the most common sites for plaque formation leading to a stroke

Contralateral hemiparesis, sensory loss with greater LE involvement than UE are typically seen in this syndrome of a stroke

This artery supplies the medial aspect of the cerebral hemisphere: frontal & pareital lobes, subcortical structures to include the basil ganglia, anteroir fornix and the a large majority of the corpus callosum

Which artery is the most common site of occlusion leading to a stroke

This syndrome results in contralateral spastic hemiparesis, sensory loss of the face, and the UE & LE. Face and UE are are more involved than LE

A patient is unable to see from the rights side of either eye what is the diagnosis of this patient relating to a stroke

A complete occlusion produces massive effects of the regions supplied by medial cerebral and anterior cerebral arteries, what syndrome is this

If blockage is _______ to anterior communicating artery there are ____ deficits, if more _______ to the anterior communicating artery there are ______ deficits

Which stroke is more common hemorrhagic or ischemic and what is the percentage

There are 3 causes for ischemic stroke cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolus and low systematic perfusion, which of these 3 has a global affect on the cerebrum and is catastrophic with bilateral neuro deficits

This is a congenital defect of tangled arteries and veins, which results in bleeding often leading to death in 50% of cases

Viable but metabolic lethargic cells are

What are the 4 management categories for a stroke

An increase in PaCO2 or a decrease in PaO2 will cause ___________ and an increase in ____

An decrease in PaCO2 or an increase in PaO2 will cause ___________ and an decrease in ____

This branch of the internal carotid artery supplies the entire lateral aspect of the cerebral hemisphere(frontal, temporal,
parietal lobes), subcortical structures (basil ganglia, anteriror formix &
anterior 4/5s of the corpus callosum

This syndrome frequently results in coma and death

Branches of this artery supply the occipital lobes and medial and inferior temporal lobes

Contralateral sensory loss (thalamic sensory syndrome) or thalamic pain will be caused when this branch of the posterior cerebral
artery is occluted

Occlusion of this artery results in minimal deficits due to collateral blood supply

What type of infarction produces homonymous hemianopsia and visual agnosia

Decreased consciousness, widened pulse pressure (difference of 65 between systolic and diastolic), increased HR, Cheyne-Stoke respirations, vomiting,
un-reacting puppils/ CNIII, papillaedema (swelling of the optic disc are all signs of an increase in

Secondary brain damage and shifting of the brain to one side or distally as seen in brainstem herniation is caused by

What is the most frequent cause of death in acute stroke, caused by large infarctions in the
middle cerebral artery and the internal carotid artery

A ________ in pH (increase acidity) produces a __________ and therefore an increase in bloodflow

A ________ in pH (decrease acidity or rise in alkalinity) produces __________ and therefore a decrease in bloodflow

Perceptual deficits such as unilateral neglect anosognosia, apraxia, and spatial disorganization, homonymous hemianopsia are produce by a lesion to what hemispere of the brain

This is a small vessel disease deep in the cerebral white matter associated with Lacunar Syndrome

Pure motor lacunar stroke, pure sensory lacunar stroke, clumsy hand syndrome, sensory/motor stroke and dystonia are all types of this type of syndrome

Ischemia in the temporal lobe will result in what syndrome

A complete occlusion of this artery is a catastrophic event: outcomes are  
occipital HA, diplopia, progressive quadraplegia,
bulbar paralysis, coma and death

Quadraplegia and anarthria with preserved consciousness and sensation with the only voluntary movement being vertical eye movement is known as what syndrome

Aphasia (impairment of language comprehension, formulation and use) is caused by a lesion in what region of the brain

Aphasia (impairment of of language comprehension , formulation and use) is caused by a lesions in what area of the brain

A lesion in which area or lobe will create emotional changes

A patient shows with decreased
spatial-perceptual task or grasping the whole activity, they are  quick and impulsive and tend to overestimate their own abilities. What area of the brain may be damaged

A patient has difficulties processing information in sequential, linear manner. They are often cautious, anxious and disorganized. What hemisphere may be damaged

An associated reaction in hemiplegia in which resistance to hip abduction or adduction in the uninvolved extremity evokes the same motion in the invloved extremity is known as what phenomenon

A mutual dependency between hemiplegic limbs such as flexion of the UE elicits flexion of the LE on the same side is known as

If a patient has finger extension on the hemiplegic side when the extremity is is raised to 90 of shoulder flexion or extension is known as what phenomenon

What are the grades for spasticity on the ashworth scale

A lesion to the Lft lateral temporal lobe will cause what type of aphasia

A lesion to the premotor area of the Lft frontal lobe will cause what type of aphasia

Which aphasia is the most severe type of aphasia

A lesion to the dominant hemisphere (left side)
will cause what type language disorder

This disorder affects 50% of CVA patients
