Section 2 Flashcards
The installation of toe clips to a stationary bike will allow the pt to?
Create a greater force for knee flexion and thereby emphasize hamstring strengthening
What disorder would show a new ST-segment displacement from baseline on the electrocardiogram?
Acute myocardial infarction
A too short r transtibial prosthesis would cause lateral trunk flexion to what side? During what what phase of gait?
During side mid stance. To the r side
Pt has difficulty in raising the r arm, has 4/5 should abduction strength without pain. What is the likely cause
Since its weak and painless it is suprascapular nerve damage, if it was weak and painful it would be supraspinatus tendinitis
What are signs and symptoms of shunt malfunction?
Irritability, lethargy, and vomiting
What are signs and symptoms of Arnold-chiari malformation?
It is a downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils causing weakness, pain, sensory changes, vertigo, Diplopia, and ataxia
Downward rotation of a scapula and a flaccid upper extremity will result in which type of glenohumeral joint dislocation?
Inferior - this is the most common type of subluxation
Herniated nucleus pulposus at l4-l5 level?
Because the way nerve roots exits l4-l5, pathology usually affects l5 nerve root rather than l4
L5: covers the dorsal area of the foot and innervates the extensor hallucis longus
L4: covers the medial aspect of the ankle and innervates the ankle inverter (anterior tib)
L5-s1 herniated disc?
S1- covers the later, plantar aspect of the foot and ankle and also innervate the muscles that perform eversion ( fibularis [peroneus] longus) and brevis)
PT observes pt sitting in a chair with elbows propped up on their knees fatigued after activity. What does the PT have to examine ?
Use of accessory muscles for breathing
This position inc effectiveness of the pectoralis and serratus anterior muscles to act as accessory muscles of inspiration by reversed action, thereby improving breathing and minimizing fatigue
Methotrexate (folex)
Is a disease - modifying antirheumatic drug and has effects to counter impairments associated with rheumatoid arthritis (pain, swelling, loss of range of motion)
A child with trisomy 21 frequently has instability of what joint?
Aa
Prolonged bed rest will cause an increase in which of the following cardiovascular parameters?
Resting and submaximal heart rates
Resting Sbp declines due to decreased blood volume
What kind of dressing is considered as mechanical debridement and is used to remove necrotic tissue?
Wet to dry
Weight-gain, Myalgias and impaired thermoregulation are often associated with?
Hypothyroidism
True or false- vigorous exercise produces lactic acid which would lower the ph of blood ( increase acidity)
True
Increasing the respiratory rate reduces the alveolar pco2 and helps compensate by increasing blood alkalinity (inc ph)
Borg scale ranges
6-20
6 reading a book
20 sprint
True or false - pt with a hiatal hernia should avoid exercise in the supine position
True
Approximately 10 percent of people with what condition develop arthritic symptoms?
Psoriasis
What hernia is most likely to cause shoulder pain?
Hiatal
What hernia will cause pain in the lateral pelvic wall?
Femoral hernia
What hernia will cause groin pain?
Inguinal
What hernia will cause pain around the umbilical ring in the mid to lower abdomen
Umbilical hernia
Clinical indicators of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis are?
Deficits in hip internal rotation and abduction
