Decreased UMN firing
27
RMP moves closer to threshold
Decreased inhib of LMN
28
Decreases facilitation of LMN Tap tendon see more LMNs fire to muscle Hypereflexia
Decreased UMN firing
29
The most common nontraumatic condition and usually affects the upper plexus and shoulder girdle muscles
Neuralgia amyotrophy
30
Stretch injuries to the upper trunk may be combined with a C5 C6 root avulsion which is?
erb's palsy
31
weakness of the shoulder and upper arm and sparing of hand
upper trunk lesions
32
Weakness occurs in the general territory of the radial nerve with partial involvement of the triceps and other C7 innervated muscles and sparing of the brachioradialis  Numbness or loss of sensation occurs in the D3 and sometimes D2 Triceps reflex may be reduced
middle trunk lesions
33
Weakness in all intrinsic hand muscles and sparing of the shoulder and brachial muscles  The finger flexors and extensors in the forearm are weak  Numbness or loss of sensation occurs in the medial brachium, medial antebrachium and median hand, involving D5 and medial half of D4
lower trunk lesion
34
pain begins abruptly and more severe at night and after 3-10 days weakness begins in the shoulder and upper arm
neuralgia amyotrophy
35
T or F? In saturday night palsy triceps are not weak
T
36
internal capsule thru brainstem
Corticospinal
37
80% of corticospinal fibers that decussate in the medullary pyramids and descend in the posterior lateral white columns
Lateral Corticospinal
38
20% of corticospinal fibers that do NOT decussate in the medullary pyramids and descend in the anterior white columns
Anterior Corticospinal
39
descends to the spinal cord, where it facilitates ipsilateral extensor muscle tone of the trunk and limbs.
lateral vestibulospinal tract
40
gives rise to fibers that ascend to the occulomotor nucleus via the MLF and fibers that descend to the cervical and upper thoracic spinal levels
medial vestibular nucleus
41
Arises from the superior colliculus, crosses in the dorsal segmental decussation, and descends to influence muscles of the neck and upper back. - It functions to move the head in response to external stimuli and to maintain head position in relation to body position
Tectospinal tract
42
arise from the oral and caudal pontine reticular nuclei and facilitates extensor muscles, especially of the trunk and proximal limbs.
uncrossed pontine (medial) reticulospinal tracts
43
arises from the gigantocellular reticular nucleus and is primarily uncrossed but with a small crossed component. - It inhibits antigravity muscles and is involved in autonomic function.
medullary (lateral) reticulospinal tract
44
Hyperreflexia Hypertonia in flexors of upper limb and extensors of lower limb Spasticity - hypertonia in above pattern Clonus
Signs of UMN (cortex) lesion
45
Hyporeflexia Hypertonia in all muscles Rigidity - decreased recipricol inhibition so agonist And antagonist co-contract decreasing amplitude of movement
Signs of UMN (brainstem) lesion
46
where are lower motor neuron cell bodies?
Ventral horn of cord
47
hyporeflexia Hypotonia Weakness Atrophy Twitches (fasciculations) - spontaneous depolarization of a motor unit
LMN lesion
48
Cell body lives in the ventral horn of the spinal cord | • Axon travels out of ventral horn via the ventral root to join the sensory fibers to form the mixed spinal nerve

49
Cell body in ventral horn • Project out to intrafusal fibers of nuclear chain and extrafusal fibers • Project out to intramural fibers of the nuclear bag and extrafusal fibers • Poorly characterized in humans

50
lives in the ventral horn • Axon leaves the ventral horn in the ventral root and joins the mixed spinal nerve • Axon travels to the skeletal muscle and innervates the intrafusal muscles
