Exam one:

Question 1

What is the standard unit of measure used to describe electrical charge for and electrical stimulation device?

Answer 1

Coulomb

Question 2

Highboy tank:

Answer 2

Immersion of larger body parts. The length of the highboy tank does not permit a patient to fully extend the lower extremities in sitting.

Question 3

Lowboy Tank:

Answer 3

Is designed for immersion of larger body parts. The lowboy tank permits a patient to fully extend the lower extremities in sitting, however the depth is significantly less than highboy

Question 4

Hubbard tank:

Answer 4

Full body immersion

Question 5

Modified plantigrade:

Answer 5

standing for postural stability and dynamic control of trunk and all 4 extremities. Weight bearing through UE & LE for proprioceptive feedback while maintaining balance and control.

Question 6

Normal respiration rate for adults?

Answer 6

is 12-18 breaths per minute.

Question 7

Intrarater reliability?

Answer 7

measurements made by one individual

Question 8

Interrater reliability?

Answer 8

Measurements made by two or more individuals who measure the same group of subjects and the reproducibility.

Question 9

What age should an infant begin to sit with hand support for an extended period of time?

Answer 9

6-7 months

Question 10

Athetosis:

Answer 10

Extraneous and involuntary movements. Alterations in muscle tone: movements may look wormlike with a rotatory component evident.

Question 11

L4 spinal level for deep tendon reflex would provide information on what?

Answer 11

Patellar reflex

Question 12

Adson maneuver; Allen test

Answer 12

A positive test is indicated by an absent of diminished radial pulse and may be indicative of thoracic outlet syndrome.

Question 13

Speeds test:

Answer 13

Therapist places one hand over the bicipital groove and the other hand over the velar surface of supinated forearm. The PT resists active shoulder flexion. Positive test is indicated by pain or tenderness in the bicipital groove region. Indicative of bicipital tendonities.

Question 14

Yergasons Test

Answer 14

Patient in sitting with 90 degrees of elbow flexion and forearm pronated. The humerus is stabilized against the Pt’s thorax. The PT places one hand on the patines forearm and the o there hand over the bicipital groove. The patient is directed to actively supinate and laterally rotate against resistance. A positive test is indicated by pain or tenderness in bicipital groove.

Question 15

Drop arm test:

Answer 15

Arm in 90 degrees of abduction. Pt is asked to slowly lower the arm to their side. Positive test is indicated by the patients failing to slowly lower the arm to their side or by the presence of severe pain and may be indicative of a tear in the rotator cuff.

Question 16

Hawkins- Kennedy impingement test:

Answer 16

PT flexes the Pt’s shoulder to 90 degrees and then medially rotates the arm. A positive test is indicated by pain and my be indicative of shoulder impingement involving the supraspinatus tendon.

Question 17

Neer impingement test.

Answer 17

PT positions one hand on posterior aspect of the pt’s scapula and other hand stabilizing the elbow. The PT elevates the pt’s arm through flexion. A positive test is indicated by facial grimace or pain; indicative of shoulder impingement involving the supraspinatus tendon.

Question 18

Tinel’s sign:

Answer 18

Pt is positioned in sitting with elbow in slight lexicon. PT taps with the index finger between the olecranon process and medial epicondyle. A positive test is indicated by a tingling sensation in the ulnar nerve distribution of the forearm, and and fingers. May indicative of ulnar nerve compression or compromise. May also indicative of carpal tunnel syndrome due to median nerve compression.

Question 19

Obers test:

Answer 19

Moving pt’s leg into hip extension and abduction and then attempts to lower the leg towards the table in side lying.

Question 20

Ely’s test:

Answer 20

Prone: active hip flexion occurring simultaneously with passive knee flexion.

Question 21

Faber Test:

Answer 21

Supine: figure 4; one hand placed on the ASIS while other hand is placed the the medial knee pressing downward toward table.

Question 22

Craig’s test:

Answer 22

Pt in prone with the knee flexed to 90 degrees. PT palpates the posterior aspect of the greater trochanter and medially and laterally rotates the hip until the greater trochanter is parallel with the table. Normal ante version for an adult is 8-15 degrees.

Question 23

Thompson Test:

Answer 23

Pt in prone with feet extended over the edge of table the therapist squeezes the mm belly of the gastrocnemius and soles mm. Positive test indicated by absence of plantar flexion and may be indicative of ruptured achilles tendon.
