Autosomal recessive or dominant
Progressive disease leading to severe disability
Onset early childhood to early adulthood
Distal weakness and sensory loos of primary the lower extremity, decreased DTR's
Peripheral nerves are enlarged and palpable due to "onion bulb" formaiton of the nerve

Definition
Spastic hemiplesia Cerebral palsy
Term
Which conditions associated lower extremity manifestations:

Drop foot: excessive strong Posterior muscle and weakness of dorsiflexors
Shortening gastrocsoleus muscle along with contracture of posterior capsule of the ankle and STJ and thickening of the neck of the talus, creates a fixed ankle equinus
Definition

occurs to avoid collapse of the knee during stsnding due to weakness of the quadriceps
Ankle instability/drop foot results from weak anterior leg group muscles
Definition
Poliomyelitis
Term
Which of the following disorder have the following characters:

Example: DM neuropathy, CMT, gullian barre
Definition
Neuropathy
Term
Which condition associate with:

Sensory: Intact
Atrophy: Pseudoatrophy calfs fibrous tissue and fat replacing muscle
DTR: normal
Examples: muscular dystrophy
Definition
Myopathy
Term
Which condition associate with:

Chronic immune demyelinating disease of the CNS
Characterized pathologically by plaques of inflammation, demyelination disseminated in different area of the CNS

Signs and symptoms depend on location of the lesions within brain and spinal cord

Spasticity: spastic paraparesis most common motor abnormality
Stiffness, cramps, weakness and motor fatigability
Flexor, extensor and adductor spasms occur with more severe dysfunction
Motor symptoms worsen with elevation in body temperature
Mechanism: variable conduction block in partially demylinated pathways
