Written/Lecture Test 2 Flashcards
Which direction to lumbar intervertebral discs deform and displace when a person performs right lateral flexion?
A. Left
B. Posterior
C. Right
D. Anterior
A. Left
If a patient has radiating symptoms that demonstrate motor weakness, the patient is given what type of radiating symptoms diagnosis?
A. radiculitis
B. radiculopathy
B. radiculopathy
Radiculitis: (radiating pain), sensory changes due to ectopic discharges from a nerve due to inflammation
Radiculopathy: Compression of a nerve that results in motor weakness
T/F
Injury at sub failure load is most likely to occur when there is inadequate recovery (time) between exporters of load.
True
T/F
Limacon shaped lumbar vertebral discs demonstrate more diffuse nucleus deformation that Ovid shaped discs.
False
Limacon Disc: Focal deformation, thicker spines
Ovoid Disc: diffuse nucleus deformation, thinner spine

A. Cognitive behavior therapy
B. Stabilazation exercisses
C. Joint manipulation
D. Direction specific exercises
C. Joint manipulation
T/F
Lumbar ligaments are densely populated with mechanoreceptors providing feedback regarding position and motion.
True
Which of the following answers best describes the reason for the ilopsoas’s attachment to the lumbar spine?
A. Disperse hip flexion forces across the lumbar spine
B. To promote anterior tilt of the pelvis
C. To facilitate lumbar extension
D. To promote stability to the thoracic spine
A. Disperse hip flexion forces across the lumbar spine
Based on categorization of LBP, which of the following treatments is the most ideal for addressing a motor control problem?
A. Stabilization exercises
B. Cognitive behavior therapy
C. Joint mobilization
D. Direction specific exercise
A. Stabilization exercises
Which position are hip abductors capable of generating the greatest force (strongest)?
A. Adducted 10 degrees
B. Abducted 45 degrees
C. Addicted 45 degrees
D. Abducted 10 degrees
A. Adducted 10 degrees
What position is the right femur in relative to the pelvis when the pelvis left laterally tilts (left side
drops)?
a. Extension
b. Adduction
c. Abduction
d. Flexion
b. Adduction
When the pelvis rotates to the left, what direction does the left femur need to move relative to the pelvis to
keep the left foot aligned in the sagittal plane?
a. Flexion
b. Extension
c. Medial Rotation
d. Lateral Rotation
c. Medial Rotation
*Which position will a person adopt posturally, if they have femoral retroversion?
a. Medial rotation of the leg (toed-in)
b. Lateral rotation of the leg (toed-out)
b. Lateral rotation of the leg (toed-out)
Retroversion: <10* of medial rotation
What position is the femur in relative to the pelvis when the pelvis is tilted anteriorly?
a. Flexion
b. Lateral Rotation
c. Medial Rotation
d. Extension
a. Flexion
T/F
In a standing position, posterior rotation of the pelvis is equivalent to closed kinetic chain hip extension
True
Which of the following is true regarding coxa vara?
a. It is associated with less risk of dislocation
b. It is associated with less risk of impingement
c. It allows for greater mobility
d. It is less stable
a. It is associated with less risk of dislocation
Which of the normal variants of the femoral neck increases mobility of the iliofemoral joint, while sacrificing stability?
a. Coxa valga
b. Coxa vara
a. Coxa valga
-Coxa Valga: Decreased Stability, Increased Mobility, > risk of dislocation/DJD, Shortens hip abductors
-Coxa Vara: Increased stability, Decreased mobility, >risk of impingement and femoral neck stress fracture, Reduces force of hip abductors
*Match the problem with the treatment in regards to low back pain.
Problem: Intervertebral disc | Facet or SIJ | Motor control group | Central sensitization group
Treatment: Joint Manipulation | Cognitive Behavior Therapy | Direction specific exercise | Stability motor control ‘X’
Intervertebral disc —- Direction Specific exercises
Facet or SIJ ————— Joint manipulation
Motor Control ——— Stability or motor control excercises
Central sensitization — Cognitive behavior therapy
Match the Spinal Motion with the appropriate nucleus migration:
Spinal Motion:
Flexion | Extension | Right Lateral Flexion | Left Lateral Flexion
Nucleus Migration:
Anterior | Left | Right | Posterior
Flexion ——— Posterior
Extension —— Anterior
R Lat. Flex —- Left
L Lat. Flex —- Right
