Misc. Flashcards
What is the relationship between centric position and medial occlusal position in the Jaw
Centric position should be the same as medial occlusal position.
The second major stabilizer of the elbow , following the UCL, is reported to be the ________.
Bony articulation
The anomalous structure that can be responsible for entrapment of the median nerve proximal to the elbow in some individuals is_________.
The Ligament of Struthers
Which of the following surgical procedures involves overlapping and shortening of the subscapularis muscle?
Putti Platt
This procedure advances the subscapularis tendon laterally over the humerus, thus tightening the anterior capsule.
stack- manson
yoemans test
The examiner stands at the painful side and flexes the patient’s knee to 90° and extends the hip
Pain localized to the sacroiliac joint indicates pathology in the anterior sacroiliac ligament
Anterior thigh paresthesia may indicate a femoral nerve stretch
meniscal tear
Key discriminators: 1) Mechanism of injury: step and twist; 2)Effusion that occurs over several hours (as opposed to immediate); 3) Joint line tenderness
The most common type of acetabular labral tear is ____________.
anterior and anterior superior
straight lasted shoe
Athletic shoes built on a straight last are most often designed as motion control shoes, with motion control elements added. This results in a heavier shoe.
semi-curved lasted shoes
It is good for those with normal arches and runners and walkers with a neutral gait who do not overpronate. It is often found in stability shoes and neutral shoes.
curved lasted shoes
t is good for those with a high, rigid arch. Lightweight shoes and racing flats are often built on a curved or semi-curved last.
slip last
The resulting shoe is lighter and good for those with rigid feet who need more motion.
board last
It makes the shoe more rigid and stable and suitable for those who under pronate or overpronate. This method isn’t used very often for modern athletic shoes.
combination last
the board method is used in the heel and the slip method in the forefoot.
strobel last
This has become the most-used lasting type for athletic shoes. The upper is attached to a layer of material that is glued onto the midsole, much like board lasting but lighter and more flexible.
strobel last

open packed position of 1st MTP
10-20 degrees of extension
lippel trenaunay syndrome
a constellation of symptoms involving mesodermal structures manifesting as capillary malformation, varicose veins, hypertrophy of bony and soft-tissue structures
meralgia parasthetica
entrapment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which has a sensory distribution to the lateral hip and proximal anterior thigh. It is cause most often by compression, with the use of tool belts, or tight pants/belt lines in obese patients.
capsular pattern of GH
ER, abd, IR
medial epicondylitis
This condition is more typically associated with an older age group and pain at the origin of the wrist flexor muscle group - just distal to the medial epicondyle.
pronator teres syndrome
- weakness of the muscles supplied by the median nerve.
- paresthesia to the 2nd and 3rd digits of the hand
- complaint of fatigue with the use of hand muscles
anterior interosseous syndrome
- weakness of pronator quadratus muscle
- no sensory changes
- unable to make OK sign
posterior interosseous syndrome
- pain increased with extension of middle finger against resistance
- weakness of extensors of the thumb, abductor pollicis longus, and extensor indices
cheralgia paresthetica (handcuff palsy)
- burning pain on dorsal hand and wrist
- fingertips are spared
The inability to fully restore the following motion is common after dislocation of the elbow.
extension
Signs and symptoms immediately following closure by primary intention that dictate prompt referral to a surgeon include____________.
- severe pain and neurologic signs
In order to differentiate between a median nerve injury and an anterior interosseous nerve injury, the therapist should:
- assess for sensory changes in C5 dermatome
a fat pad sign at the elbow describes
- radiographic finding indicative of intra-articular fracture
Which describes the correct order of structures in the cubital fossa from lateral to medial?
- biceps tendon, brachial artery, median nerve
what muscles go through carpal tunnel
Flexor pollicis longus
flexor digitorum superficialis
flexor digitorum profundus
wartenbergs sign
- patient asked to hold fingers adducted
- (+) if little finger drifts away from midline
- due to weakness or paralysis of the adducting palmar interosseous muscle
- ulnar nerve injury
Tietze syndrome
happens when the cartilage in the joint where your ribs connect to your breastbone — your costochondral joint — is irritated.
-This irritation leads to inflammation around the joint and causes chest pain and swelling
Pre-cordial catch syndrome (Texidors twinge)
condition in which there are sharp stabbing pains in the chest.
scheuermann’s disease
- thoracic kyphosis in kids
- When a child has Scheuermann’s, the front edge of some of the vertebrae in the upper back grow slower than the back edge. These vertebrae become wedge shaped, so when the vertebrae stack up, the spine curves, making the back round out.
external validity
the ability of a measure to predict or relate to outcomes beyond the population of a given trial.
