MT2 Flashcards
The study of how environmental factors can affect gene expression without altering the actual DNA sequence, and how these changes can be inherited through generations is called:
- the genome study
- epigenetics
- geneology
- functional genetics
epigenetics
T/F
Physical exercise, trauma, and psychosocial factors are all considered part of the environmental inputs that can influence the expression of health
TRUE
Interventions utilized in the functional healthcare paradigm are analyzed by their depth of impact. This type of intervention is used more frequently in the acute presentation of an illness.
- whole body intervention
- organ system intervention
- subcellular/mitochondrial interventions
- celluler interventions
organ system intervention
Exercise is an example of this depth of intervention.
- myofascial
- nervous
- lymphatic
- skeletal
lymphatic
The question “When was the present problem not a problem?” is searching for:
- mediators
- antecedents
- triggers
- core imbalances
triggers
Diet and supplementation are utilized extensively in this depth of intervention:
- cellular
- organ system
- whole body
cellular
T/F
Under the functional model, single conditions have multiple imbalances associated with their underlying cause
TRUE
T/F
7 out of 10 people who die from sports related traumatic injuries suffer from catastrophic spine injuries, along with head injuries.
TRUE
Neck injuries deserve special attention because of their potential to affect the _______, potentially resulting in depth or crippling permanent disability.
- cervical nerve root
- cervical spinal cord
- cervical vertebra
- upper cervical ligaments
- cervical stabilizing musculature
cervical spinal cord
Traumatic injuries to these spinal levels can result in diaphragmatic paralysis.
- C7, T1, T2
- C3, C4, C5
- C6, C7, T1
C3, C4, C5
This type of injury is typically seen in racket sports, where there is frequent explosive neck rotation and inactivities requiring prolonged neck positioning, like marksmanship.
- torticollis
- sprain/strain
- compressive fracture
- IV disc injury
- stinger/burner
sprain/strain
This type of injury usually occurs in contact sports and at the extremes of motion resulting in cervical pain and restriction in ROM
- compressive fracture
- sprain/strain
- SP fracture
- disc injury
- stinger/burner
compressive fracture
This type of imaging to assess the level of boney involvement and the need for surgical intervention when a fracture is suspected in:
- MRI
- x-ray
- CT scan
- bone scan
x-ray
The “gold standard” imaging techniques to assess a ligamentous injury is:
- MRI
- flexion/extension x-ray
- CT scan
- ultrasound
flexion/extension x-ray
A mechanism of injury for this particular condition includes: traction to the brachial plexus from ipsilateral shoulder depression and contralateral neck flexion
- disc injury
- stinger/burner
- torticollis
- spinal cord injury
- compression fracture
stinger/burner???
A definitive diagnosis of this injury is usually made with plain film radiographs
- sprain/strain
- stinger/burner
- SP fracture
- disc injury
- spinal cord injury
SP fracture
A compression fracture with greater than 50% anterior compression is an indication of instability because the ____ is often affected.
- Lig. Flava
- Nuchal Lig
- PLL
- ALL
- interspinous Lig
PLL
Observation of the patient spontaneously grasping their head with their hands during motion indicating instability is called _____.
- Hall-Pike sign
- Kernig’s sign
- RA sign
- Rust’s sign
Rust’s sign
