![Page 2: Neurologic System The Motor System and the Cerebellar Function.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649de35503460f94ada379/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Motor Pathways & Type of Movements
• Corticospinal or Pyramidal Tract– Voluntary, skilled, discrete, purposeful (writing)
• Extrapyramidal Tracts– Maintain muscle tone and control body movements
(walking)
• Cerebellar System– Coordinates movement, maintains equilibrium and
posture….Operates on subconsious level

Question for Thought
• Describe 3 major motor pathways in the CNS including the type of movements mediated by each?

• Cerebral Cortex
![Page 5: Neurologic System The Motor System and the Cerebellar Function.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649de35503460f94ada379/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Upper and Lower Motor Neurons
• Upper motor neurons• All descending motor neurons that impact on the
lower motor neurons
• Located in the CNS
• Convey impulses from motor areas of cerebral cortex to lower motor neurons in the cord
• Diseases = CVA, Cerebral palsy, Multiple sclerosis
![Page 6: Neurologic System The Motor System and the Cerebellar Function.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649de35503460f94ada379/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Upper and Lower Motor Neurons
• Lower motor neurons• In the peripheral nervous system
• 12 cranial nerves
• 31 pairs of spinal nerves and all branches
• Final direct contact with the muscles
• Movement translated into action
• Reflex arc
• Examples = cranial nerves, spinal nerves
• Diseases = spinal cord lesions, poliomyelitis, ALS

Muscle Tone
• A relaxed muscle maintains a slight residual tension referred to as muscle tone.
• Hypo tonic, Flaccidity.
• Spasticity.

![Page 19: Neurologic System The Motor System and the Cerebellar Function.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649de35503460f94ada379/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Muscle Strength
• Test muscle strength by asking the client to move actively against your resistance or to resist your movement.
• A muscle is strongest when shortest and weakest when longest.

Grading Muscle Strength
• Scale 0-5
• 0 - no muscular contraction
• 1 – slight contraction
• 2 – Full ROM, gravity eliminated
![Page 22: Neurologic System The Motor System and the Cerebellar Function.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649de35503460f94ada379/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Grading Muscle Strength
• 3 – Full ROM against gravity• 4 – Full ROM against gravity, some
resistance• 5 – Full ROM against gravity full resistance
without evident fatigue = Normal Muscle Strength

Cerebellar Function
• Balance tests– Gait
• Observe normal walk
• Tandem Walking ( heel – to- toe )
• Romberg Test (stand, feet together, arms at side, close eyes)
• Shallow knee bend or hop on one leg
