Cаse Jeаnne: A 60-yeаr-оld patient cоmes intо a clinic via direct access following an injury 2 days ago where she was rear-ended at a stop from what she says, “The car was going 15 mph”. She states that she has been having neck pain intermittently yesterday, but not today - just reporting stiffness (points to R upper trapezius) that came on the following morning. She denies any paresthesias or pain in her extremities. She otherwise has been fine with no fainting episodes and able to resume along with her evening. You proceed to check her cervical rotation ROM and notice she has 70 degrees to the L and 35 degrees to the R with minimal pain at the end and stiffness. Based on NEXUS criteria, what would be the appropriate next steps?

Videо Cаse 1. Pleаse аnswer the fоllоwing questions based on the audio sample from Case 1. A 65 year-old female (JG) with probable ALS presents to your outpatient clinic for evaluation of speech-language and swallowing function as part of her multi-disciplinary neurological visit. According to the patient’s son, symptoms began 1 year ago, and her speech and swallowing function has progressively declined since then. Regarding speech function, she reports that she sounds “slurred, nasally, and slow.” In terms of swallowing function, she reports occasionally coughing during and after mealtimes, and eating more slowly (approximately 45 minutes to finish a meal). The patient crushes or cuts her pills in half in order to swallow them, and cuts her food into smaller pieces and takes smaller bites of food to compensate. She denies reflux or any pneumonia. c) Do you think that she is likely bulbar or spinal onset ALS based on the case history? (1 point).
