2.3.6 The Impact of Neurological Damage

• What does neurological damage refer to?

  Injury to brain, spinal cord, nerves
• Name a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive neuron loss.

  Alzheimer's disease
• What is a common effect of neurodegenerative diseases?

  Gradual motor decline
• A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted
• Match the brain region with its primary function:

  Frontal Lobe ↔️ Decision-making

  Parietal Lobe ↔️ Sensory information

  Temporal Lobe ↔️ Memory and language

  Occipital Lobe ↔️ Visual processing
• What are the effects of damage to the parietal lobe?

  Disrupted spatial awareness
• A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted
• Order the following brain regions from front to back:

  1️⃣ Frontal Lobe

  2️⃣ Parietal Lobe

  3️⃣ Temporal Lobe

  4️⃣ Occipital Lobe
• Match the brain region with the effects of damage:

  Frontal Lobe ↔️ Impaired cognition, motor control

  Occipital Lobe ↔️ Impaired visual processing
• Neuroimaging techniques like MRI can visualize brain structure and activity


  True
• Occupational therapy helps individuals relearn daily living skills
• A traumatic brain injury is caused by an external force
• Traumatic brain injury can impair motor function
• Match the cause of neurological damage with its description:

  Traumatic Brain Injury ↔️ Damage from external force

  Stroke ↔️ Disruption of blood flow

  Neurodegenerative Diseases ↔️ Progressive neuron loss
• Alzheimer's disease is an example of a neurodegenerative disease.

  True
• Damage to the frontal lobe can impair decision-making
• What is the main cause of neurological damage in a stroke?

  Disrupted blood flow
• What is an example of a neurodegenerative disease mentioned in the study material?

  Alzheimer's disease
• What is the main cause of a stroke?

  Disrupted blood flow to brain
• What is the primary function of the frontal lobe?

  Decision-making and motor control
• What is the purpose of neuropsychological assessment?

  Identify neurological impairments
• Order the following rehabilitation techniques by their primary focus:

  1️⃣ Physical Therapy

  2️⃣ Occupational Therapy

  3️⃣ Speech-Language Therapy

  4️⃣ Cognitive Rehabilitation
• What does cognitive rehabilitation aim to improve?

  Cognitive abilities
• A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted.

  True
• Stroke can lead to paralysis and visual impairments.


  True
• What type of injury disrupts normal brain function due to external force?

  Traumatic brain injury
• Which brain region is responsible for higher-order cognitive functions and decision-making?

  Frontal lobe
• Damage to the temporal lobe can affect memory and language abilities.


  True
• What does neurological damage refer to?

  Injury to brain, spinal cord, nerves
• Match the type of neurological damage with its potential effects:

  Traumatic Brain Injury ↔️ Impaired cognition, memory, motor function

  Stroke ↔️ Paralysis, speech difficulties, visual impairments
• Neurodegenerative diseases result in the progressive loss of neuron structure or function


  True
• The temporal lobe is responsible for memory, language, and auditory processing
• Cognitive tests evaluate functions like memory, attention, and problem-solving
• What is the main goal of physical therapy in neurological rehabilitation?

  Restore motor function
