- ALarge Motor Fibre
- BLarge Sensory Fibre
- CSmall Sensory Fibre
- DAutonomic Fibre
3[blank_start]Athetosis[blank_end]: Writhing movements, usually of the fingers, due to abnormal muscle contraction
[blank_start]Pseudoathetosis[blank_end]: Writhing movements, usually of the fingers, due to a failure of the neural proprioceptive pathways to the brain- AChorea
- BAthetosis
- CPseudoathetosis
- DPseudochorea
4[blank_start]High stepping[blank_end] gait is a condition whereby there is a loss of dorsiflexion when walking resulting in a foot drop and the patient having to lift their foot higher when taking a step to avoid dragging it along the floor.
- AHigh stepping
