Answer 8

Infraspinatus

Question 9

3 muscles of pes anserinus

Answer 9

Cranial medial tibial
Say grace before tea - sartorius, gracilis, semitendinosis

Question 10

Forearm flexor where pathology is often seen

Answer 10

Flexor carpi ulnaris: medial epicondyle (o), caudal border and medial surface olecranon (o), accessory carpal bone (I)

Question 11

3 structures of concern for medial shoulder instability

Answer 11

Glenohumeral ligament, subscap tendon, shoulder joint capsule

Question 12

Four quadrants of education in rehab

Answer 12

Pain relief, nutrition, lifestyle, rehab

Question 13

Hypogastric nerve - location, function

Answer 13

L1-L5, sympathetic, detrusor relaxation, contraction of smooth muscle of internal urethral sphincter

Question 14

Pelvic nerve

Answer 14

S1-S3, parasympathetic, detrusor contraction, passive opening internal urethral sphincter.

Question 15

Pudendal nerve

Answer 15

S1-S3, somatic, external urethral sphinter

Question 16

Shockwave vs ultrasound

Answer 16

Shockwave: no thermal effect, min tissue absorption, low frequency
Ultrasound: thermal effects, tissue absorption, high frequency wave

Question 17

Types of pressure waves (shockwave therapy)

Answer 17

Electro-hydraulic (large pressure and focal volume), electro-magnetic (smaller focused volume), piezo electric (smaller treatment area).

Question 18

Factors affecting SW on tissues

Answer 18

1 energy density (depth of tx)
2 speed of delivery (shocks/sec)
3 impedance at different surfaces (dense tissue maintains speed/propagation)
4 compression, tension, cavitation

Question 19

Typical wavelength for therapeutic lasers

Answer 19

600-950nm

Question 20

How do you express “dose” for laser?

Answer 20

J/cm^2 or total dose (J)

Question 21

Dosing of laser is based on____

Answer 21

Acuity of injury.
Lower dose for wound healing
Higher dose to decrease inflammation
Higher dose for chronic injury

Question 22

Dose laser for superficial wound healing

Answer 22

600nm, 1-2J/cm^2

Question 23

Laser dosing for acute injury (pain, heat, swelling and up to 72 hours)

Answer 23

600nm for superficial (skin and 800-900 nm for deep (skin -3+cm),
6-8j/cm^2

Question 24

Laser dose for subacute injury (proliferative phase of healing)

Answer 24

600nm for superficial and 800-900nm for deep, 3-5 J/cm^2

Question 25

Laser dose for chronic (remodeling and maturation phase of healing)

Answer 25

600nm for superficial, 800-900nm for deep (skin to 3+ cm), 5-8J/cm^2
