Stroke

Question 1

CVA

Answer 1

cerebrovascular accident

Question 2

stroke

Answer 2

acute onset of neurological deficit
lasting more than 24 hours
caused by vascular

Question 3

TIA

Answer 3

transient ischaemic attack
mini stroke

acute onset of neurological deficit
lasts less than 24 hours

Question 4

Pathophysiology of stroke/ 2 types of strokes

Answer 4

ischaemic

haemorrhagic

Question 5

causes of ischaemic stroke

Answer 5

block artery to the brain due to
1. build up of plaque
2. from a clot

where atherosclerosis plaque is formed causes a blood clot- thrombus
this blocks the blood flow

blood clot breaks away from artery wall- embolus
this then travels further to smaller vessels

Question 6

haemorrhagic stroke cause

Answer 6

rupture of an artery
blood is released into area sorrounding brain is in the subarachnoid space

from aneurysm

intracerebral haemorrhage- tiny arteries burst
causes increased pressure on brain caused by hypertension

Question 7

risk factors of stroke

Answer 7

older age
hypertension
diabetes
increased blood lipids
obesity
smoking
family history
male gender

Question 8

impairments classification of stroke

Answer 8

primary=
1. sensori- motor
2. non-motos

secondary=
1. motor and muculoskeltal
2. non- motors

negative:
decrease in a function

positive:
increase in a function/ added e.g spasticity

Question 9

primary sensori-motor impairments of stroke

Answer 9

negative:
decrease strength
decrease coordination
decrease senation

positive:
spasticity

Question 10

primary non-motor impairments of stroke

Answer 10

decreased vision
decrease speech and language
decrease perceptual function
decrease cognitive function
apraxia
behaviour
emotion

Question 11

secondary motor/ musculoskeletal impairments of stroke

Answer 11

decrease mm length/ joint stifness
decrease fitness
decrease strength
learned non-use
swelling
pain
shoulder subluxation
soft tissue damage

Question 12

secondary non-motor impairments

Answer 12

depression
fatigue
