Question 8

Question
"A number of specific motor impairments that affect coordinated movement are associated with [blank_start]cerebellar[blank_end] pathology. Many of these impairments either directly or indirectly influence the patient's ability to execute accurate, smooth, controlled movements." -O'Sullivan 6th ed.
Answer
  • cerebellar
  • basal ganglia

Question 9

Question
"Patients with lesions of the [blank_start]basal ganglia[blank_end] typically demonstrate several characteristic motor deficits: 1.) poverty and slowness of movement, 2.) involuntary, extraneous movement, and 3.) alterations in posture and muscle tone." -O'Sullivan 6th ed.
Answer
  • basal ganglia
  • cerebellum
