.
- 1.Which of the following conditions would you consider the most apropriate indication for the use of high-grade joint mobilization techniques?

Loss of accessory joint movement due to capsular restriction
- B.
Functional immobility: eg paralysis
- C.
Joint hypomobility due to osteoarticular blockage
- D.
Pain
- 2.Passive (arc) stretching in the absence of slide causes excessive joint compression in the same direction as that of the rolling bone.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 3.When non-weight bearing, dorsiflexion of the talocrural joint results in the talus rolling anteriorly and sliding posteriorly on the distal leg.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 4.Traction applied through the long axis of the shaft of the femur will result in distraction at the hip joint.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 5.Characteristics of roll include:
- A.
Joint surfaces are maximally congruent
- B.
Roll results in swing of the bone
- C.
Rolling is always in the opposite direction of the swing of the moving bone
- D.
New points on one surface contact the same point on the opposing surface
- E.
None of the above
- 6.Knee extension can be improved by gliding the tibia anteriorly on the femur using Grade 2 translatoric glide.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 7.Grade 3 traction will:
- A.
Reduce pain
- B.
Increase inert tissue elongation
- C.
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
- 21.Traction is always applied parallel to the treatment plane.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 22.The medial cuneiform articulates with the second metatarsal.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 23.Joint mobilization techniques should never be applied to hypermobile joints.
- A.
True
- B.
False
