quiz #2

Question 1

leg positioning for INFERIOR GLIDE OF PUBIC BONE VIA LEG PULL

Answer 1

leg to be mobilized in slight flexion, adduction, internal rotation

PLACE FOOT OF OPPOSITE LEG AGAINST THIGH, knee straight, grasp above ankle, and turn body

turn body to use body weight not arm strength

Question 2

distraction of pubic symphysis joint purpose and caution

Answer 2

increase overall ROM, distract pubic symphysis joint

caution if adductor strain, inguinal hernia or pain

Question 3

procedure for pubic symphysis distraction

Answer 3

3 separate procedures
feet 8-12 inches apart
therapist places hands on medial sides of knees
pt pushes knees together 1/2 strength for 7 seconds, repeat

3/4 of strength

then full

Question 4

lateral distraction of AF joint placement

Answer 4

stabilize = distal femur and knee aginst shoulder
mobilize = proximal femur in a lateral/inferior/anterior direction

Question 5

purpose and positioning of medial glide of AF joint

Answer 5

increase hip ABDUCTION

side lying
stabilize= distal femur, medial knee
mobilize = direct mobilization of trochanter inferiorly and medially while distracting

Question 6

CI for anterior glide of tibia on femur

Answer 6

CI if ACL injury

Question 7

CI for posterior glide of tibia on femur

Answer 7

if PCL injury

Question 8

CI of lateral/medial glides of tibia on femur

Answer 8

dont let femur rotate medially

Question 9

patellofemoral CI superior glide

Answer 9

dont compress patella or force into EXTENSION

Question 10

patellofemoral CI inferior glide

Answer 10

dont compress patella or force knee FLEXION

Question 11

inferior glide of ilium on sacrum leg positioning

Answer 11

leg in slight ABDUCTION, INTERNAL ROTATION to lock out hip

Question 12

positioning for superior glide of ilium on sacrum

Answer 12

thigh in slight EXTERNAL ROTATION

Question 13

positioning for distraction of SI joint

Answer 13

knees and hips FLEXED, feet 20-30 cm apart, apply pressure to LATERAL knees, pt to abduct thighs to 30-50%

Question 14

positioning for axial posterior glide of SI

Answer 14

hip in FLEXION, ABDUCTION, EXTERNAL ROTATION

Question 15

KNEE JOINT medial and lateral glides

Answer 15

increase overall ROM

LATERAL glide = stabilizing hand on LATERAL ASPECT OF distal femur above joint line

apply pressure to proximal tibia in lateral direction

Question 16

lat and medial glides of patellofemoral CI’s

Answer 16

do not force knee into hyperextension and do not do if previous dislocations

Question 17

talocrural joint convex on concave

Answer 17

web of one hand over dome of talus, other hand behind ankle w fingers interlocked on medial side

Question 18

purpose of posterior glide of talus on tibia

Answer 18

increase DORSIFLEXION

Question 19

posterior glide of tibia on talus

Answer 19

increase plantar flexion

Question 20

lateral glide of calcaneus on talus

Answer 20

stabilize = fingers are placed on lateral aspect of talus at the subtalar joint line

mobilize = thumbs are placed on medial aspect of calcaneus and push in lateral direction in a rotation driection

Question 21

cuneonavicular joint - supination of cuneiforms on navicular

Answer 21

increase supination of forefoot

stabilize = webspace, thumb and index finger on navicular and cuboid

mobilize = webspace, thumb and index finger on cuneiforms and mobilize by pulling in a dorsal/lateral direction

like wringing out a cloth

Question 22

which mob would you use to decrease genu valgum

Answer 22

lateral gap of tibiofemoral

Question 23

patellofemoral joint

Answer 23

concave on convex

Question 24

SI joint - posterior gap/lateral glide of SI

Answer 24

prone, thigh in internal rotation, knee flexed

stabilize = ankle pushing hip into internal rotation
mobilize = thenar eminence of PSIS, while internally rotating hip, at end of PSIS, apply further overpressure to PSIS in lateral direction

Question 25

SI joint - inferior glide of ilium on sacrum positioning

Answer 25

supine
leg in slight abduction and internal rotation
