Midterm Flashcards
What type of injury involves the pressing together of two structures?
compression
What injury type involves a structure being pulled or over stretched?
Tension
The primary contractile tissue is?
Muscle
The ability to stretch is called the property of…
Extensibility
__________________ create movement, maintain posture and provide feedback about the body’s position in space.
Muscles
When the two ends of a muscle move closer together it is called a(n) ___________.
Concentric contraction
A decrease or wasting of muscle size is called…
Atrophy
What transmits contraction force of the muscle to the bone?
Tendons
This type of contraction is one in which no movement is produced at the joint.
Isometric contraction
Which of the following is not a function of fascia?
Connect tissue to bone
This is a systematic process of gathering information necessary to determine the appropriate treatment.
Assessment
Posterior thigh pain with AROM knee flexion and MRT knee flexors. No pain with PROM knee flexion. Contractile, inert, or both?
Contractile
A fluid-filled sac that provides cushioning and reduces friction is a….
Bursa
A tensile stress injury to a ligament is called a(n)…
Sprain
Which of the following is not a mechanical force type injury?
Contraction
A compression or tension injury to a nerve at the elbow would be considered a…
Peripheral neuropathy
When performing tests on a client, which would you test first?
Test the uninvolved side first
Most overuse tendon pathologies are not inflammatory in nature and therefore, it would be best to think of them as a case of…
Tendinosis
What primarily involves collagen degeneration in the tendon?
Tendinosis
Chronic tendon overuse syndrome in which there is inflammation and or irritation between the tendon and its surrounding synovial sheath?
Tenosynovitis
Which degree strain is considered the most severe?
Third degree
Strains are most likely to occur at the…
Musculotendinous junction
Weakness during a manual resistive test would be most indicative of
Motor nerve injury
Sensory symptoms from a nerve injury are generally felt
Distal to the site of compression
Which of the following evaluation procedures would be most effective in identifying a muscle strain or tendinopathy?
Manual Resistive Test (MRT)
Which of the following is not true concerning calcaneal varus?
Associated with eversion
This postural condition is associated with peek-a-boo heel, over-pronation, the excessive wearing of the medial side of the shoe and should be evaluated in a weight bearing (standing) position?
Calcaneal Valgus
Client has pain in anterior compartment. AROM & PROM for dorsiflexion causes no pain. MRT to dorsiflexors does cause pain. Contractile, inert, or both?
Contractile
This condition is characterized by a fallen medial longitudinal arch?
Pes Planus/Flat foot
Indicates an exaggerated and high longitudinal arch of the foot.
Pes Cavus
This condition can result from either a short first metatarsal or a long 2nd
metatarsal. Causing pain under the ball of the foot.
Morton’s foot
In this condition the distal end of the great (big) toe deviates in a lateral direction. Often, this forms a bunion on the medial portion of the base of the great toe.
Hallux Valgus
The most common lower extremity soft tissue injury?
Lateral ankle sprain
The Ankle Drawer Test is designed to…
Evaluate the client for a lateral ankle sprain
Anterior Ankle pain with AROM, resisted eversion, and passive inversion. Contractile, inert, or both?
Both
The main cause of a lateral ankle sprain is?
Excessive Inversion
The ligaments used to stabilize the medial ankle are collectively known as the
Deltoid ligament
A client reports to you they have sharp pain in the “ball” of the foot behind the metatarsal heads. They state the pain is aggravated when they “push off” or walk on that foot. They also state it is better when they are not wearing shoes. According to the text, what is the most likely cause of this?
Morton’s Neuroma
Hip pain with active medial rotation & passive medial rotation, no pain with resisted medial rotation. Contractile, inert, or both?
Inert
Which of the following is NOT true concerning Plantar Fasciitis?
- Very common foot condition
- Pain gets worse as they continue using it.
- Pain is better with rest
- Usually most tender at the anterior calcaneus
Pain gets worse as they continue using it.
Which of the following in NOT true concerning Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?
- Can mimic Plantar Fasciitis
- Dorsiflexion-Eversion Test may be positive
- Is a nerve condition at the flexor retinaculum
- Pain gets better as they continue using foot
Pain gets better as they continue using foot
Elbow pain with active and passive flexion, no pain with resisted elbow flexion. Contractile, inert, or both?
Inert
A high ankle sprain …
Involves over stretching of the distal tibia and fibula
A retrocalcaneal bursitis and Achilles tendinitis can be very similar with respect to what and where a client feels pain. What test can help determine which one is actually the effected tissue?
Achilles Tendon Pinch test
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Anterior Compartment Syndrome?
- Pain is over the anterior lateral portion of the leg
- Pain increases (continues to get worse) with continued activity
- Can mimic anterior shin splints
- All statements are true
All statements are true
Which of the following in NOT true concerning Anterior Shin Splints?
- Pain is worse at the beginning of activity after long periods of rest.
- Pain gets better the longer they are “up and moving around”
- Pain is over the Anterior medial portion of the tibia
Pain is over the Anterior medial portion of the tibia
