Question

What connects bone to bone? Describe the Tandem walk. Ischemic vs Hemorrhagic (CVA) stroke Muscle strength grading Staging pressure ulcers What part of the brain controls balance? Tension headache vs migraine headache What does a GCS (Glasgow coma scale) of less than 7 implies? Vertigo

Answer 1

Answer: A fibrous connective tissue known as ligament which connects bone to bone.

The Tandem walk is used by the healthcare professionals to assess the patient walk as it involves the walking in a straight alignment by keeping the front foot as the heel touches the toe of the other resting foot.

Ischemic stroke is caused when there is blood clotting which usually block the blood vessels present in the brain. This causes brain cells which starts to die. Whereas the hemorrhagic stroke is usually caused when the vessels that gets ruptures and bleeding starts in the brain.

Muscle strength grading:

1. 0/5: no contraction
2. 1/5: muscle flicker, but no movement
3. 2/5: movement possible
4. 3/5: movement possible against gravity, but not against resistance by the examiner
5. 4/5: movement possible against some resistance.
6. 5/5: normal strength
