About This Quiz


How much do you know about cervical and pelvic traction? Placing a stretch on the spine divides the vertebrae and eases direct nerve pressure and stress on the vertebral discs. Cervical traction is a regular non-surgical treatment for a herniated disc in the neck that relieves pain by opening the cervical foramen to lessen pressure on compressed nerve roots. This brilliant quiz will be beneficial for you to take.

    HYSTAGMUS CAN BE A SYMPTOM OF OSTEOpHYTE FORMATION.

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    Hystagmus can be a symptom of osteophyte formation. Osteophytes are bony outgrowths that can develop in the joints, often as a result of osteoarthritis. These outgrowths can impinge on the nerves and blood vessels in the area, causing various symptoms. Hystagmus refers to involuntary eye movements, which can occur due to nerve compression or irritation. Therefore, it is possible for hystagmus to be a symptom of osteophyte formation.

    HOW MUCH DOES THE ADULT HUMAN HEAD WEIGH?

    • 5-7 LBS

    • 8-12 LBS

    • 17-20 LBS

    • 13-16 LBS

    Correct Answer
    A. 8-12 LBS
    Explanation
    The adult human head weighs between 8-12 lbs. This weight includes the skull, brain, and other structures within the head. The brain itself weighs about 3 lbs, while the skull and other tissues contribute to the remaining weight. The variation in weight can be attributed to factors such as body size, muscle mass, and individual differences.

    ANNULUS FIBROSIS INTACT, DISK BULGES:

    • SEQUESTRATION

    • EXTRUSION

    • PROTRUSION

    • PROLAPSE

    Correct Answer
    A. PROTRUSION
    Explanation
    The correct answer is PROTRUSION. In this context, "annulus fibrosis intact" refers to the outer ring of the intervertebral disc being intact, while "disk bulges" indicate that the disc has bulged outwards. A protrusion occurs when the bulging disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space, but does not completely detach from the disc. This is different from a sequestration, where the disc material completely separates from the disc, or an extrusion, where the disc material extends beyond the disc space and may compress nearby nerves or spinal cord. Prolapse refers to a more severe form of disc herniation.

    FREE MOVING, PINCHED OFF FRAGMENT:

    • PROLAPSE

    • SEQUESTRATION

    • PROTRUSION

    • EXTRUSION

    Correct Answer
    A. SEQUESTRATION
    Explanation
    Sequestration is the correct answer because it refers to the process of a fragment becoming separated or isolated from the main structure. In the context of the given options, sequestration best describes the scenario of a free moving, pinched off fragment. Prolapse, protrusion, and extrusion all involve the movement or displacement of a structure, but they do not specifically indicate the fragment becoming separated or isolated.

    A PATIENT WITH DJD CANNOT RECIEVE CERVICAL TRACTION.

    COMPLETE ESCAPE OF NUCLEUS THROUGH ANNULUS:

    • PROTRUSION

    • PROLAPSE

    • EXTRUSION

    • SEQUESTRATION

    Correct Answer
    A. EXTRUSION
    Explanation
    Extrusion refers to the complete escape of the nucleus through the annulus. This means that the inner portion of the intervertebral disc has pushed through the outer ring, causing it to protrude outwards. This condition can cause severe pain and discomfort as it can put pressure on nearby nerves. It is important to seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms of extrusion to prevent further complications.

    WHICH OF THESE IS NOT A CONTRAINDICATION OF CERVICAL TRACTION?

    • ACUTE INFLAMMATION

    • JOINT PAIN

    • INABILITY OF PATIENT TO RELAX

    • CLAUSTROPHOBIA

    Correct Answer
    A. JOINT PAIN
    Explanation
    Joint pain is not a contraindication of cervical traction because it is a common symptom that can be treated with traction. Cervical traction is a therapeutic technique that is used to relieve pressure and tension in the neck and spine. It can help to alleviate pain and improve mobility in the joints. Therefore, joint pain would not be a reason to avoid or contraindicate cervical traction.

    WHICH TYPE OF PELVIC TRACTION COULD BE USED FOR SEVERAL HOURS?

    • CONTINUOUS

    • SUSTAINED

    • INTERMITTENT

    • MANUAL

    Correct Answer
    A. CONTINUOUS
    Explanation
    Continuous pelvic traction could be used for several hours because it involves applying a constant and steady force to the pelvis over an extended period of time. This type of traction is commonly used in the treatment of pelvic fractures or dislocations, as well as in the management of certain spinal conditions. Continuous traction helps to immobilize the pelvis, reduce pain, and promote proper alignment and healing. It is typically applied using a traction device or weights and is monitored closely by healthcare professionals to ensure effectiveness and safety.

    INTERMITTENT MECHANICAL PELVIC TRACTION DURATION:

    • 30-40 MIN

    • 10-15 MIN

    • 10-20 MIN

    • 20-30 MIN

    Correct Answer
    A. 20-30 MIN
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 20-30 MIN. Intermittent mechanical pelvic traction is a therapeutic technique used to relieve pressure and pain in the pelvic region. It involves applying intermittent traction force to the pelvis for a specific duration. The recommended duration for this treatment is 20-30 minutes. This allows enough time for the traction force to be effective in relieving symptoms, while also preventing excessive strain or discomfort on the patient's pelvic area.

    AT WHAT DEGREES DOES CERVICAL TRACTION = HIGH TRAPEZIUS ACTION.

    Correct Answer
    45
    45 DEGREES
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 45,45 degrees. This means that cervical traction and high trapezius action occur at the same angle of 45 degrees. This suggests that when the neck is tilted at a 45-degree angle, both cervical traction (a method used to relieve pressure on the spine) and high trapezius action (the activation of the trapezius muscle in the upper back) are maximized. This information could be useful for individuals seeking to target these specific areas during therapy or exercise.

    WHICH IS NOT AN INDICATION FOR CERVICAL TRACTION?

    • LIGAMENTOUS SPRAIN

    • COMPRESSION FRACTURE

    • HERNIATED DISK

    • SPONDYLOLISTHESIS

    Correct Answer
    A. LIGAMENTOUS SPRAIN
    Explanation
    Cervical traction is a treatment technique used to relieve pressure on the cervical spine. It involves applying a gentle pulling force to the neck to stretch and separate the vertebrae. Ligamentous sprain refers to an injury to the ligaments of the neck, which can cause pain and instability. Since cervical traction aims to alleviate pressure and promote healing, ligamentous sprain is not an indication for this treatment. The other options, compression fracture, herniated disk, and spondylolisthesis, are conditions that can benefit from cervical traction as it helps to reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote healing.

    DEGENERATIVE CHANGES IN ANNULUS FIBROSIS, NUCLEUS PULPOSIS STARTS TO MOVE:

    • PROLAPSE

    • PROTRUSION

    • EXTRUSION

    • SEQUESTRATION

    Correct Answer
    A. PROLAPSE
    Explanation
    Prolapse refers to the displacement or bulging of the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus of an intervertebral disc. Degenerative changes in the annulus fibrosus cause the nucleus pulposus to move and protrude out of its normal position. Therefore, prolapse is the correct term to describe this condition. Protrusion, extrusion, and sequestration are also terms used to describe different degrees of disc herniation, but they do not specifically indicate the movement of the nucleus pulposus.
