Answer 12

chronic conditions

not acute or subacute conditions

Question 13

what type of intervention used in the early healing stages of tendon sprain for the proper alignment of healing collagen?

impaired short term memory

Answer 16

inferomedial area of the temporal lobe either bilaterally or only on the dominant side of the brain (usually the left side). posterior cerebral artery

Question 17

how to measure Chest wall motion?

Answer 17

In supine - using a tape measure, measure the chest’s circumference at the levels of axillae - upper chest
xiphoid - middle chest
midpoint between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus - lower chest

Question 18

what diagnosis?
post-surgery, symptoms: dyspnea, tachycardia, light-headedness, chest pain, cough, apprehension. No calf pain, no swelling or warmth is seen.

Answer 18

pulmonary embolism

Question 19

risk factors for DVT and PE

Answer 19

recent surgery, obesity, and older age

Question 20

what is ankylosing spondylitis? why is low-intensity aerobic exercise important for advanced ankylosing spondylitis?

Answer 20

inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine and large joints.

• advanced AS causes decreased chest wall excursion, which compromises breathing.
• Aerobic exercise and stretching will optimize efficiency of O2 transport and maintain cardiopulmonary function.
• Low intensity better because intense exercise can exacerbate the inflammatory process and be potentially harmful.

Question 21

floor (ground) reaction orthosis is used to prevent what movement during stance phase?

Answer 21

grafo has an anterior shell that provides a posteriorly directed force to resist knee flexion during stance phase

designed to un-weight the foot and ankle.

Question 23

normal range of intracranial pressure in adults and children <6yrs?

Answer 23

0 to 10 mm Hg for adults
0 to 5 mm Hg for children <6 years.
High intracranial pressure correlates with low cerebral perfusion pressure.
