True/False: Literature has shown strong evidence for good inter-clinician and intra-clinician reliability for force application during mobilizations
(Shelby)
False
When compared to experienced physiotherapists, student therapists with no clinical experience apply _________ and _______ during joint mobilizations
a. Higher force magnitudes; slower oscillations
b. Lower force magnitudes; slower oscillations
c. Higher force magnitudes; faster oscillations
d. Lower force magnitudes; faster oscillations
(Shelby)
B
A _______ applied force during cervical mobilization is more effective in decreasing stiffness and rest pain.
(Shelby)
higher/greater
In the systematic review conducted in 2014, which of the following showed poor to fair reliability?
a. Inter-clinician force amplitude
b. Inter-clinician mean applied force
c. Intra-clinician mean applied force
d. Intra-clinician max peak force
(Shelby)
A
True/False: There is room for improvement in both inter-clinician and intra-clinician reliability during joint mobilizations.
(Shelby)
True
What functional test does the IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee) use as an outcome measure?
(Tamara)
Single hop test
Regarding the systematic review, Clinician-friendly lower extremity physical performance measures in athletes: a systematic review of measurement properties and correlation with injury, part 1. The tests for knee function including the hop tests, what physical performance measure displayed good evidence for all of the categories tested?
(Tamara)
None of them
Which functional test (though not statistically significant) was included in the best fit model for predicting changes in functional outcomes?
(Tamara)
Triple Jump
What is 1 indication for future research regarding functional outcome measures and PFPS?
(Tamara)
Better quality research studies OR use of PFPS as the knee pathology OR a better definition of the diagnosis of PFPS
What is the most common pathology used in the evaluation of functional outcome measures in the knee?
(Tamara)
ACL repair/deficiency
Name the 2 muscles that make up the deep neck flexors
Molly
Longus capitis and Longus Colli
What is the main function of the deep neck flexors?
Molly
Stabilization of the c-spine
Based on the research presented, which exercise method produced the most effective results for decreasing neck pain and disability?
(Molly)
A combination of conventional neck exercise and deep neck flexor training using pressure biofeedback (CCFT)
Name potential factors that may increase the risk for developing neck pain.
(Molly)
a. Chronic forward head posture
b. females more likely than males
c. increased screen time
d. trauma/microtrauma
e. occupational factors (office workers, teachers, students)
f. etc
How can injury to the deep neck flexors create neck pain?
Molly
Activities of the deep neck flexor muscles are impaired in patients with neck pain, which leads to abnormal synergy patterns with superficial neck musculature and improper alignment of the cervical spine segments which can lead to the development of forward head posture and pain
True/False: There is good evidence showing that asymmetries in dorsiflexion and predict future risk of injury. (Sam)
False
True/False: Gender plays a role in amount/norms of ankle dorsiflexion. (Sam)
False
How many degrees more dorsiflexion to people less than 30 years old have compared to those greater than 30 years old? (Sam)
about 2.9*
Which group of people tend to have decreased dorsiflexion? a.Healthy men that are 25 years old b.Women with chronic ankle instability c. Healthy women that are 25 years old d.Marathon runners (Sam)
b.Women with chronic ankle instability
What compensatory maneuver may occur at the STJ if there is a lack of dorsiflexion at the ankle?
(Sam)
Pronation
Tue/False: There is a standard amount of force application for different mobilization grades. (Kristen)
False
True/ False: The device used to determine stiffness of the shoulder joint is transferable to other joints?
(Kristen)
True
What was used to determine the rate of mobilization in the descriptive study on objective assessment of joint stiffness? a. drum b. metronome c. Bee Gees song (Kristen)
b. metronome
Which mobilization produced the most consistent force production in the cadaver study? a. A-P glides b. P-A glides c. Inferior glides (Kristen)
a. A-P glides
