Improve range of motion
- D.
B & C
- 8.In cases of pain, muscle guarding and spasm, small amplitude, high velocity oscillaroty movements may be used to stimulate mechanoreceptors, thus inhibiting the transmission of nociceptive stimuli.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 9.Ventral glide of the femur at the coxofemoral joint will help improve external rotation.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 10.In a case where your client presents with restricted talocrural joint plantarflexion, you could glide the talus posteriorly in the mortise to help improve range of motion.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 11.According to Kaltenborn, the protocol for joint mobilization treatment should begin with grade 2 sustained translatoric glide.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 12.Which of the following bones does not articulate with the cuboid?
- A.
Fibula
- B.
Medial cuneiform
- C.
Calcaneus
- D.
A & B
- E.
All of the above
- 13.The talocrural joint is close-packed in dorsiflexion.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 14.The hip is close-packed in the position of extension.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 15.Treatment of the knee joint for restricted extension could include:
- A.
Lateral rotation of the leg
- B.
Medial rotation of the leg
- C.
Posterior glide of the head of the fibula
- D.
B & C
- 16.The fibula should glide superiorly with ankle joint plantarflexion.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 17.Which of the following applications would you consider to be the most precise stretching technique?
- A.
Grade 2 sustained glide
- B.
Grade 3 sustained glide
- C.
Grade 3 oscillatory glide
- D.
Grade 4 oscillatory glide
- 18.When treating pes planus, it would be important to include the following mobilization:
- A.
Glide the navicular plantarward
- B.
Glide the cuboid dorsally
- C.
Adduct the forefoot by rotating the metatarsals toward inversion
- D.
None of the above
- 19.If your client cannot extent their big toe at the MTP joing, it would be important to mobilize the base of the proximal phalanx dorsally.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 20.If your client has difficulty everting their foot, it would be important to check the mobility of which of the following joints?
- A.
Subtalar
- B.
Calcaneocuboid
- C.
Talonavicular
- D.
All of the above should be assessed
