Q

Active insufficiency

A

Inability of a 2-joint muscle to
actively contract across full
ROM of both joints (Active = movement)

Can’t make a fist as well when in wrist flexion

68
Q

Which of the following muscles works in opposition to the deltoid to prevent scapular winging?
rhomboid major; rhomboid minor; trapezius; serratus anterior

A

Serratus Anterior

The serratus anterior originates on the 1st through 8th ribs on the lateral chest wall and inserts along the medial border of the scapula. This muscle acts to stabilize the scapula against the chest wall.

69
Q

What is the primary action of the dorsal interossei on the metacarpophalangeal joints of the index, middle, and ring fingers?

A

Abduction

There are four dorsal interossei whose primary action is abduction of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints of the index, middle, and ring fingers. The secondary action is flexion of the MCP joints for the index, middle, and ring fingers and extension of the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints for the index, middle, and ring fingers.

70
Q

Which bone is most susceptible to necrosis following a fracture?

A

Scaphoid

The scaphoid, identified by line C, is supplied by the palmar branch of the radial artery and the dorsal carpal branch of the radial artery. If the scaphoid is fractured, the disrupted blood supply can significantly inhibit the ability of the bone to heal which can result in necrosis.

71
Q

Which of the following muscles share a common insertion site?
- coracobrachialis and pectoralis minor
- brachioradialis and brachialis
- tibialis anterior and peroneus longus
- sartorius and rectus femoris

A

Tibialis Anterior and Peroneus Longus

The tibialis anterior and peroneus longus both insert at the base of the first metatarsal and medial cuneiform. The coracobrachialis and pectoralis minor have a common origin or insertion, however, the coracobrachialis originates at the coracoid process while the pectoralis minor inserts at the same structure. The remaining muscles do not share common origins or insertions.

72
Q

The elbow ligament that allows the head of the radius to rotate and retain contact with the radial notch of the ulna is known as:

A

Annular Ligament

The annular ligament consists of a band of fibers that surrounds the head of the radius. It allows the head of the radius to rotate and maintain contact with the radial notch of the ulna.

74
Q

Which muscle plays a significant role in depressing the mandible during mouth opening?
- medial pterygoid
- temporalis
- lateral pterygoid
- masseter

A

Lateral pterygoid

The lateral pterygoid is made up of two heads. It is one of the few muscles of mastication that opens the mouth.
The others are the suprahyoid and infrahyoid

75
Q

What is the lateral articular surface of the distal humerus called?

A

Capitulum

76
Q

What creates the anatomical snuffbox?

A

extensor pollicis brevis
extensor pollicis longus
abductor pollicis longus

can feel scaphoid when ulnarly deviated.

77
Q

What creates the femoral triangle?

A

The femoral triangle is comprised of the inguinal ligament, adductor longus, and sartorius.

Within the femoral triangle is the femoral nerve, femoral artery, and femoral vein.

78
Q

What type lever permits large movements at rapid speeds?

A

Class 3

79

80
Q

Rotation of the lumbar spine is coupled with ____________

A

lateral flexion to the contralateral side

convex on concave – abduction/adduction

concave on convex – extension/flexion.

84
Q

What arthrokinematic motion is involved in hip internal rotation?

A

The femoral head rolls anteriorly and slides posteriorly on the acetabulum

The hip is a ball and socket joint with three degrees of freedom. The convex head of the femur glides posteriorly and rolls anteriorly in hip internal rotation.

85
Q

Which joints make up the transverse tarsal joint?

talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints

The transverse tarsal joint, also known as the midtarsal joint, consists of the talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints. These joints connect the rearfoot with the midfoot.

86
Q

A

DF & PF

87
Q

What is the capsular pattern of the cervical spine?

A

lateral flexion = rotation limited > extension.
The close packed position is full extension. The loose packed position is midway between flexion and extension.

88
Q

Which condition would be most likely to contribute to a capsular pattern?

  • ligamentous adhesions
  • fracture
  • internal derangement
  • extra-articular limitations
A

ligamentous adhesions

After an injury, adhesions can form that impact specific ligaments. Motions that require extensibility from the affected ligaments tend to be painful and restricted resulting in limited motion in a capsular pattern.

89
Q

True/False:
IF a joint is swollen, the CPP cannot be achieved

A

True

90
Q

The close packed position should be utilized as much as possible during an assessment.

False (the loose packed position)

91
Q

The CPP should generally be avoided except ______________________

A

to stabilize an adjacent joint

92
Q

The CPP of the hip is especially important for nourishment of the articular cartilage to help prevent?

A

Osteoarthritis

The CPP of the hip forces synovial fluid into the articular cartilage which nourishes the cartilage and helps to prevent the degradation commonly seen in OA. The CPP of the hip is full extension and IR.

93

99
Q

What direction should joint distraction be applied in relation to the glenoid fossa of the scapula when treating the glenohumeral joint?

A

Perpendicular

The glenohumeral joint is formed by the convex head of the humerus and the concave glenoid fossa of the scapula. Distraction (i.e., separation or pulling apart of joint surfaces) requires the force to be applied in a perpendicular direction in relation to the glenoid fossa.

A

Glide

Gliding techniques are applied parallel to the treatment plane of the concave joint surface.

102
Q

What grade is a non-thrust oscillatory technique that uses a large amplitude rhythmic oscillation that is performed within the available joint range of motion and does not reach the anatomic limit of the joint?

A

Grade II

A grade II non-thrust oscillatory technique is characterized by using a large amplitude rhythmic oscillation that does not reach the anatomic limit of the joint. Generally, these oscillations are performed at 2-3 times per second for 1-2 minutes. A grade III non-thrust oscillatory technique would be performed up to the anatomical limit of the joint.

103
Q

A posterior glide of the femur on the acetabulum would be used to increase hip flexion and internal rotation.

104
Q

What mobilization technique would be most beneficial to increase shoulder flexion?

A

Posterior glide

The convex head of the humerus moves within the concave glenoid fossa. A posterior glide of the humerus on the glenoid fossa would be used to increase shoulder flexion and internal rotation

Q

Which of the following joint mobilizations would be required if a patient has a loss of forearm pronation?

A

Both of these options listed below depending on whether mobilizing proximal or distal

Proximal: Dorsal glide of the proximal radius on the ulna
Distal: Volar glide of the distal radius on the ulna would both increase pronation range of motion.

Q

Manual muscle testing procedure:

A

Have them do the AROM first (and perform first on uninvolved side)
Use “break testing” - applies resistance after the subject has reached the end range of the test position. Subject is asked to “hold” that position.

2 second build up of testing – 6 second hold of maximum contraction – 2 second diminishing of tension.

Repeat the test 3 times
