The document discusses neurological suffixes and types of ataxia. It covers the following:
- The suffix "-taxia" refers to order, arrangement, or coordination. Ataxia is a lack of muscle coordination during voluntary movements.
- There are three main types of ataxia: cerebellar ataxia caused by lesions in the cerebellum; vestibular ataxia caused by brainstem lesions; and sensory ataxia caused by abnormal position sensing.
- The suffix "-plegia" means complete paralysis caused by damage to the motor pathway from brain to spinal cord. Types of paralysis are classified by the affected body region, such as monoplegia, diplegia
Treatment for neurology
Neurology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. It has two major divisions: Central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord.
The Nervous System
The document discusses the nervous system and defines two medical suffixes: -plegia and -esthesia. -Plegia refers to paralysis, such as monoplegia which is paralysis of one limb, or paraplegia which is paralysis of the lower body and legs. -Esthesia refers to sensation, such as paresthesia which is an abnormal sensation like tingling, or hyperesthesia which is an excessive sensation that may involve feeling things that are not present. The nervous system coordinates all body activities by sending and receiving information.
the nervous system
The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (cranial and spinal nerves). The central nervous system processes sensory information and sends motor commands to the body. The peripheral nervous system carries sensory information to the central nervous system and motor commands from it to the muscles and glands. The document then discusses two suffixes: -plegia, meaning paralysis, and -ataxia, meaning disorder. It provides paraplegia and ataxia as examples, describing their symptoms which result from damage to different parts of the central nervous system.

This document discusses medical suffixes related to the nervous system. It describes the suffixes -plegia, -esthesia, and -taxia. For -plegia, it defines paraplegia as paralysis of the legs and lower trunk, and quadriplegia/tetraplegia as paralysis of all four limbs and the trunk. For -esthesia, it defines hyperesthesia as abnormal increased sensitivity and tactile hyperesthesia as a common symptom of neurological disorders. For -taxia, it defines ataxia as a lack of coordination, and notes cerebellar ataxia relates to cerebellum dysfunction while sensory ataxia relates to loss of sensitivity in joints and body parts.
Chapter 12 ppt to post
This document discusses medical terminology related to the nervous system. It defines terms ending in -plegia, meaning paralysis, and -esthesia, meaning feeling or sensation. Specific terms discussed include paraplegia (paralysis of the lower half of the body), quadriplegia (paralysis of the arms and legs), and hyperesthesia (excessive sensation). Causes of paralysis include strokes, spinal cord injuries, and neurological diseases. Treatments for conditions like hyperesthesia include analgesics, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants.
Nervous system, bio 120
The nervous system coordinates voluntary and involuntary actions through the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (nerves). Damage can cause paralysis or ataxia. Paralysis results from loss of muscle function and is caused by stroke, head injury, or spinal cord injury. Ataxia is a lack of muscle coordination usually from cerebellum damage and can result from conditions like alcohol abuse, stroke, or genetic disorders. Treatments may include physical, occupational and speech therapy or assistive devices.
Chapter 12
This document defines and provides details on several speech and language disorders:
Aphasia is a disorder caused by brain damage that makes it difficult for a person to communicate through speech, writing, or comprehension. Dysphasia involves difficulties swallowing due to issues in the brain, throat, or esophagus. -Paresis suffixes indicate types of weakness, such as hemiparesis affecting one side of the body, monoparesis affecting one limb, paraparesis affecting the lower limbs, and quadriparesis affecting all four limbs. The document provides links to further information on aphasia.

The document discusses diseases of the nervous system in animals. It describes how veterinary neurologists treat problems of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Neurological issues in animals can be caused by medication reactions, inherited disorders, infections or trauma. Common conditions include seizures, brain/spinal tumors, meningitis, congenital disorders, and disk problems. A neurological exam involves taking a patient history and doing palpation, percussion and image analysis. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include surgery, medications, antibiotics or chemotherapy. The document also discusses various neurological signs like changes in behavior, physical changes, involuntary movements and abnormal posture/gait.
The nervous system
This document discusses three conditions that affect the nervous system:
Paraplegia is a condition that causes paralysis in the legs and lower body due to an injury to the spinal cord in the thoracic region. It cannot be cured but physical therapy can help improve motor and sensory skills.
Ataxia is a result of damage to the cerebellum which controls muscle coordination. It affects movement, speech, eye movement and swallowing. It can be caused by various conditions like alcohol abuse, stroke or be inherited. Physical therapy can help manage the disease.
The nervous system is controlled by the brain which branches nerves through the spinal cord to the body. Damage to parts of the brain can affect functioning and control of
Cerebellum and afferent ayaxia
Ataxia is a syndrome of imbalance and incoordination involving gait, limbs, and speech that is caused by disorders of the cerebellum and/or its connections. The document discusses the clinical features, causes, diagnostic approach, and classification of different types of ataxia such as cerebellar ataxia, sensory ataxia, and psychogenic ataxia. Genetic causes of ataxia include autosomal recessive and dominant disorders as well as mitochondrial diseases.
Ataxia&vertigo
Ataxia and Vertigo can be caused by disorders of the peripheral or central nervous system. Peripheral causes include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, and vestibular neuronitis. BPPV is treated with particle repositioning maneuvers like the Epley maneuver. Meniere's disease causes episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Vestibular neuronitis causes sudden, intense vertigo that lasts for days. Central causes of ataxia and vertigo include lesions in the cerebellum or brainstem. Physical exams can help distinguish peripheral from central etiologies.

Causes and types of ataxia
Ataxia is a condition used to refer to poor or uncontrolled muscle coordination in the body. It can
affect motor skills and movement in patients. Most of those who have this disease have no or
little control of their movements. This disease affects daily activities such as walking, eye
movement, speech, ability to swallow, picking up objects and other voluntary movements.
Ataxia can be hereditary or non-hereditary depending on its cause. Most of the patients who get
ataxia suffer from an ataxic gait. This disease can also be an underlying symptom of other
ailments affecting the body. The day for ataxia is celebrated every year on 25th September.

Motor neuron disease
Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that affects the motor neurons in the brain. It results in progressive weakness and stiffness in the legs, slow movement, balance problems, and difficulty breathing. PLS specifically impacts the neurons in the brain's motor cortex that connect to the spinal cord and regulate voluntary muscle movement. The author's aunt has PLS and experiences symptoms like weakness in her legs, slow movement, and trouble balancing. This course has helped the author better understand their aunt's condition by learning about neurobiology and different central nervous system disorders.
Cerebral palsy presentation for edu 290
Cerebral palsy is an abnormality of motor function that is acquired before or during early childhood and affects movement, posture, and balance. It can be caused by events during pregnancy like premature birth, genetic disorders, infections, strokes or lack of oxygen to the brain. The main types of cerebral palsy are spastic, which affects muscle tone, ataxic which affects coordination, and athetoid with involuntary movements. Treatment involves physical, occupational and speech therapy as well as medications to address symptoms, with the goal of helping those with cerebral palsy to lead full lives.

Cerebral palsy is an abnormality of motor function that is acquired before or during early childhood and affects movement, posture, and balance. It can be caused by events during pregnancy like premature birth, genetic disorders, infections, strokes or lack of oxygen to the brain. The main types of cerebral palsy are spastic, ataxic, athetoid, and mixed. Treatment involves physical, occupational and speech therapy as well as medications to address symptoms like spasticity and seizures. While cerebral palsy has no cure, many children are able to lead full lives with support from caregivers and medical professionals.
Paralysis
Paralysis is the complete loss of muscle function for one or more muscle groups and often includes loss of feeling in the affected area. It can be caused by damage to upper motor neurons, which convey signals from the brain to the nervous system, or lower motor neurons, which connect to muscles. Signs and symptoms depend on the location and severity of damage and may include numbness, tingling, pain, vision problems, speech difficulties, and breathing issues. Treatments focus on physical and occupational therapy to regain mobility, muscle strength, and independence through techniques like range of motion exercises and home modifications.
Nervous system ppt presentation
This document defines and describes two medical terms: hemiparesis and paresthesia.
Hemiparesis is defined as weakness or loss of motion on one side of the body, which can be caused by conditions affecting the brain or spinal cord such as stroke, brain tumors, or cerebral palsy. It results in reduced muscle strength on one side of the body, unlike hemiplegia which causes total paralysis.
Paresthesia is defined as an abnormal burning or tingling sensation, usually felt in the hands, arms, legs or feet. It can be caused by neurological disorders or nerve damage and may indicate an underlying condition such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Chapter 12 presentation
Paraplegia is an impairment of motor or sensory function in the lower extremities, usually caused by spinal cord injury or a congenital condition like spina bifida. It affects the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions of the spinal canal. Paraplegia can result from traumatic spinal cord injury, inflammation/swelling, or non-traumatic factors like tumors, scoliosis, or spina bifida. Spinal cord injuries causing paraplegia are classified as complete or incomplete based on the retention of feeling or function below the injury point.
Ataxia
Ataxia is a neurological sign that refers to lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements. It is caused by abnormalities in the cerebellum or proprioceptive pathways. The document defines and classifies ataxia, describes the clinical presentation and diagnostic process, and outlines treatment approaches including physiotherapy. Physiotherapy focuses on improving gait, balance, coordination and reducing fall risk through exercises targeting these areas, use of assistive devices, and addressing any spasticity issues.
Hereditary spastic paraplegia
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of inherited neurological disorders characterized by the progressive stiffening and weakening of the lower limbs. The most common symptoms are difficulty walking and lifting the toes. HSP results from degeneration of nerve fibers in the spinal cord that control the lower body, and can be caused by mutations affecting axonal transport, mitochondria, or myelin. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on physical therapy, medication to reduce spasticity and pain, and addressing complications like contractures.
Motor Neuron Diseases
Motor neuron diseases are a group of neurological disorders that cause the motor neurons responsible for voluntary muscle movement to deteriorate or die. This leads to muscle atrophy and weakness as messages from the brain can no longer reach the muscles. Several types of motor neuron diseases are described, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), progressive bulbar palsy (PBP), pseudobulbar palsy, dysarthria, dysphagia, progressive muscular atrophy (PMA), and spinal muscular atrophy. The document provides details on the symptoms and characteristics of each disease.
Cerebral palsy presentation for edu 290
Cerebral palsy is an abnormality of motor function that is acquired before or during early childhood and affects movement, posture, and muscle tone. It is caused by damage to the developing brain, which can occur during pregnancy, birth, or shortly after. The main types of cerebral palsy are spastic, ataxic, athetoid, and mixed. Treatment focuses on physical, occupational, and speech therapy as well as medications to manage symptoms, while the ultimate goal is for children with cerebral palsy to lead full and happy lives.
