Question

9? The part ofthe spinal cord that is most susceptible to trauma is the A) Cervical region B) Thoracic region C) Lumbar region D) Sacral region 10. Spasticity in the legs after a spinal cord injury A) Is associated with not enough inhibition of motor neurons to leg muscles B) Can be reduced by baclofen which blocks GABA receptors C) Can be reduced by strychnine D) Only occurs in people who have cervical spinal cord injury 11. After a complete thoracic spinal cord injury A) Leg reflexes cannot be stimulated B) Sensation in the hands is reduced C) Voluntary movement of the legs is not possible D Spasticity never occurs 12. Which of the following is consistent with the Descending Brain Theory control of walking? A) Pyramidal neurons play a role in the voluntary control of walking B) Motor ncurons play a role in walking C) The brain controls walking movements D) All of the above 13. Which of the following statements is supported by the theory of central pattern generation? A) Without the brain's input, walking is impossible B) A person with a spinal cord injury will never walk C) The spinal cord can only control simple reflexes, but not complex behaviors like walking D Circuitsofinterneurosint espinal crdare responsible orgenerating walking- 14. Body weight supported treadrmill training for people with spinal cord injuries involves A) Trainers who assist leg movements B) A device which lifts the person C) A treadmil D) All of the above 15. Body weight supported treadmill training can help people walk on the treadmill because A) Connections between the brain and the spinal cord are strengthened B) Connections between sensory pathways and the central patern generator are C) It reduces activity in spinal neurons D) It causes repcoeration of pyramidal ncuroos that were destroyed 6 Based os evidence shown in class, it is possible for a person with a spinal cord injury to walk over ground using which of the following A) Body weight supported treadmill training a) body weight supported treadmill training D) Spinal stimolation

Explanation / Answer

9)c lumbar region

This region has very less structural support and it endures theaximum amount of strain.this region is so often traumatized by injuries patient suffer from low back pain.

10)A associated with not enough inhibition of motor neurons tto leg muscles

Excitability of both motorneurons and interneurons play a crucial role.which increase s muscle stretch.it causes loss of mobility produces pain in muscles.

11)a legs reflexes cannot be stimulated.

Thoracic spinal cord injury it prevents motor signal from reaching the lower limb.complete injury means no signal travel to the area.

14)d all of the above.

treadmills are required the assistant help the patient to move rheir legs.a weight supporting device is used which helps rhe patient to regain its motor activity.
