| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| dyskinesia | distortion or impairment of voluntary movement resulting in fragmented or jerky motions |
| hyperkinesia | abnormally increased muscle function or activity |
| myasthenia gravis | chronic autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular junction and produces serious weakness of voluntary muscles |
What term refers to a condition of abnormal muscle tone that causes the impairment of voluntary muscle movement?
Muscular dystrophy (MD) refers to a group of more than 30 genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles used during voluntary movement.
Is the lack of muscle coordination during voluntary movement?
Ataxia describes a lack of muscle control or coordination of voluntary movements, such as walking or picking up objects.
What causes the impairment of voluntary muscle movement?
Loss of muscle function may be caused by: A disease of the muscle itself (myopathy) A disease of the area where the muscle and nerve meet (neuromuscular junction) A disease of the nervous system: Nerve damage (neuropathy), spinal cord injury (myelopathy), or brain damage (stroke or other brain injury)
What is the term meaning the degeneration of muscle tissue?
The term muscle atrophy refers to the loss of muscle tissue. Atrophied muscles appear smaller than normal. Lack of physical activity due to an injury or illness, poor nutrition, genetics, and certain medical conditions can all contribute to muscle atrophy. Muscle atrophy can occur after long periods of inactivity.
Which term means the movement that bends the foot upward at the ankle?
dorsiflexion. Movement that bends the foot upward at the ankle.
When a foot bends upward at the ankle this movement is known as?
Dorsiflexion is the action of raising the foot upwards towards the shin. It means the flexion of the foot in the dorsal, or upward, direction. People use dorsiflexion when they walk.
What is the loss of sensation and voluntary muscle movements in a muscle through disease or injury to its nerve supply?
paralysis paralysis Paralysis is the loss of sensation and voluntary muscle movements in a muscle through disease or injury to its nerve supply. This is not correct. Try again. Paralysis is.
Is the movement that bends the foot upward at the ankle?
Plantar flexion bends the foot upward at the ankle.
Which term means the loss of sensation and voluntary muscle movement through disease or injury to the nerve supply?
pathol. impairment or loss of voluntary muscle function or of sensation (sensory paralysis) in a part or area of the body, usually caused by a lesion or disorder of the muscles or the nerves supplying them. a disease characterized by such impairment or loss; palsy.
