Questions and Answers
- 1.
True or false? proprioceptive neuromuscular flexibility is a form of stretching
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Proprioceptive neuromuscular flexibility is not a form of stretching. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a technique used to improve flexibility and range of motion, which involves a combination of stretching and muscle contraction. However, proprioceptive neuromuscular flexibility refers to the ability of the body to sense and control joint movements, rather than a specific stretching technique. Therefore, the given answer "false" is correct.Rate this question:

Which is NOT a behavioral property of musculotendon units
- A.
Irritability
- B.
Elasticity
- C.
Extensability
- D.
Compressability
- E.
Ability to develop tension
Correct Answer
D. CompressabilityExplanation
Compression refers to the ability of a musculotendon unit to be compressed or shortened under external forces. However, this is not a behavioral property of musculotendon units. Musculotendon units are primarily responsible for generating tension and force, allowing for movement and locomotion. They also possess properties such as irritability (ability to respond to stimuli), elasticity (ability to return to its original shape after being stretched), and extensibility (ability to be stretched without damage). Therefore, compressibility is the correct answer as it does not align with the behavioral properties of musculotendon units.Rate this question:

Name the state of a muscle producing sustained maximal tension resulting from repetitive stimulation
Correct Answer
tetanus, tetnusExplanation
Tetanus, also known as tetnus, refers to the state of a muscle producing sustained maximal tension as a result of repetitive stimulation. This condition occurs when the muscle fibers are stimulated at such a high frequency that they are unable to relax fully between contractions. As a result, the muscle remains in a contracted state, leading to sustained maximal tension. Tetanus can be caused by various factors such as nerve damage or certain infections, and it can result in symptoms like muscle stiffness, spasms, and difficulty in movement.Rate this question:

What is the pattern of eccentric contraction followed immediately by concentric contraction
Correct Answer
stretch shorten cycle, stretch-shorten cycleExplanation
The pattern of eccentric contraction followed immediately by concentric contraction is known as the stretch-shorten cycle or the stretch shorten cycle. This cycle involves the muscle lengthening (eccentric contraction) followed by a rapid shortening (concentric contraction). This sequence of contractions allows for a greater force production during the concentric phase due to the stored elastic energy from the eccentric phase. The stretch-shorten cycle is commonly observed in activities such as jumping, sprinting, and throwing, where the muscle undergoes a rapid stretch before quickly contracting to produce a powerful movement.Rate this question:

The labrum of the hip is a load bearing structure
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The labrum of the hip is not a load-bearing structure. The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the hip joint, providing stability and cushioning. While it plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the hip joint, it does not bear the weight or load that is placed on the hip. The load-bearing structures of the hip include the bones, such as the femur and pelvis, and the surrounding muscles and ligaments.Rate this question:

an individual with a shallow femoral groove would be more likely to dislocate their patellofemoral joint
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
An individual with a shallow femoral groove would be more likely to dislocate their patellofemoral joint. This is because the femoral groove is responsible for guiding the patella (kneecap) during movement. A shallow femoral groove means that the patella is not securely held in place, increasing the risk of it slipping out of position and causing a dislocation.Rate this question:
-
- 9.
The medial ligaments crossing the ankle joint are stronger than the lateral ligaments
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the medial ligaments, which are located on the inner side of the ankle joint, are generally stronger and more robust compared to the lateral ligaments on the outer side. This is due to the structure and anatomy of the ankle joint, where the medial ligaments provide more stability and support to prevent excessive inward or medial movement of the ankle, which is a common mechanism of injury. Conversely, the lateral ligaments are more prone to sprains and injuries due to their relative weakness compared to the medial ligaments.Rate this question:

- A.
Anterior
- B.
Posterior
- C.
Superior
- D.
Inferior
- E.
Medial
Correct Answer(s)
A. Anterior
C. SuperiorExplanation
Damage to the labrum of the hip typically occurs in the anterior and superior regions. The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the hip joint, providing stability and cushioning. Anterior damage can occur due to repetitive movements or trauma, such as sudden twisting or pivoting. Superior damage can happen as a result of impingement or excessive pressure on the labrum from the top of the thigh bone. Damage to other regions like posterior, inferior, or medial is not commonly associated with labral injuries in the hip.Rate this question:

An excessively tight bicep femoris would result in
- A.
Anterior
- B.
Posterior
- C.
Lateral
- D.
Medial
Correct Answer
A. AnteriorExplanation
An excessively tight bicep femoris muscle can result in anterior discomfort or pain. This is because the bicep femoris muscle is located on the back of the thigh and connects to the pelvis and knee. When it becomes overly tight, it can pull on the pelvis, causing it to tilt forward. This anterior pelvic tilt can lead to increased stress and strain on the lower back and hip flexors, resulting in discomfort or pain in the anterior region of the body.Rate this question:

When the right foot is on the ground during gait, the right femur would _______if the gluteus medials is too weak
- A.
Adduct
- B.
Abduct
- C.
Medially rotate
- D.
Laterally rotate
Correct Answer
A. AdductExplanation
If the gluteus medialis is too weak, it would cause the right femur to adduct when the right foot is on the ground during gait. Adduction refers to the movement of a body part towards the midline of the body. In this case, the weak gluteus medialis would cause the right femur to move towards the midline of the body, resulting in adduction.Rate this question:

An individual with pes planus would have accompanying__________ rotation of the tibia and a(n) _________Q-angle
- A.
Lateral, increased
- B.
Lateral, decreased
- C.
Medial, increased
- D.
Medial, decreased
Correct Answer
C. Medial, increasedExplanation
An individual with pes planus, also known as flat feet, would have accompanying medial rotation of the tibia and an increased Q-angle. This is because pes planus causes the arch of the foot to collapse, leading to the inward rotation of the tibia. The increased Q-angle refers to the angle formed by the line drawn from the anterior superior iliac spine to the center of the patella and the line drawn from the center of the patella to the tibial tuberosity. In individuals with pes planus, the increased Q-angle is a result of the inward rotation of the tibia.Rate this question:

During early knee flexion the patella shifts ____________to enter the femoral groove
- A.
Medial
- B.
Lateral
Correct Answer
A. MedialExplanation
During early knee flexion, the patella shifts medially to enter the femoral groove. This is because the patella is a small bone located in front of the knee joint, and it acts as a protective shield for the knee joint. As the knee flexes, the patella needs to align itself with the femoral groove, which is located on the medial side of the knee joint. This alignment allows for smooth movement and stability of the knee joint during flexion.Rate this question:

The movement of the sole of the foot towards the midline of the body is
- A.
Inversion
- B.
Eversion
Correct Answer
A. InversionExplanation
Inversion refers to the movement of the sole of the foot towards the midline of the body. This means that the foot is turning inward, with the sole facing towards the opposite foot. This movement is commonly observed when standing on tiptoes or during certain yoga poses. Eversion, on the other hand, is the opposite movement where the sole of the foot turns outward, away from the midline of the body.Rate this question:

Weakness in the _________ will result in potential for patellar maltracking
Correct Answer
vmo, VMO, vastus medialis obliquesExplanation
A weakness in the VMO (vastus medialis obliques) muscle can lead to potential patellar maltracking. The VMO is one of the quadriceps muscles located on the inner side of the thigh, and it plays a crucial role in stabilizing the patella (kneecap) during movement. When the VMO is weak or imbalanced compared to other quadriceps muscles, it can cause the patella to shift or track incorrectly, leading to pain and dysfunction in the knee joint. Therefore, addressing VMO weakness through targeted exercises and rehabilitation is important in preventing and treating patellar maltracking.Rate this question:
- 19.
Inversion and eversion of the foot occurs at what joint?
Correct Answer
subtalarExplanation
The inversion and eversion of the foot occur at the subtalar joint. This joint is located between the talus bone of the foot and the calcaneus bone of the ankle. It allows for the side-to-side movement of the foot, enabling the foot to tilt inward (inversion) or outward (eversion). The subtalar joint plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and stability during activities such as walking, running, and jumping.Rate this question:

A 65 year old man is experiencing bone on bone joint pain in his knees (osteoarthritis). His has a sever VARUS alignment of the knees. Most likely his pain is in the ____________region of the knee joint compartment
Correct Answer
medialExplanation
The patient's severe VARUS alignment of the knees indicates that his knees are deviating inward, causing increased pressure on the inner side of the joint. This alignment puts excessive stress on the medial compartment of the knee joint, leading to bone on bone contact and resulting in the pain experienced by the patient. Therefore, the most likely region of the knee joint compartment where the pain is located is the medial side.Rate this question:

Let’s say you go in for some minor surgery and your doctor decides to experiment with you. While you are under anesthesia he chisels off your tibial tuberosity and moves it medially on your tibia. Your Q-angle will then be
- A.
Increased
- B.
Decreased
Correct Answer
A. IncreasedExplanation
When the tibial tuberosity is chiseled off and moved medially on the tibia, it will result in an increased Q-angle. The Q-angle is the angle formed between the line connecting the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the midpoint of the patella, and the line connecting the tibial tuberosity and the midpoint of the patella. By moving the tibial tuberosity medially, the angle between these two lines will increase, leading to an increased Q-angle.Rate this question:

At 90Ëš knee flexion the Patellofemoral compressive force is expected to be the highest for a
- A.
Weight bearing activity
- B.
Nonweight bearing activity
- C.
The polka
Correct Answer(s)
A. Weight bearing activity
C. The polkaExplanation
At 90Ëš knee flexion, the Patellofemoral compressive force is expected to be the highest for a weight bearing activity. This is because weight bearing activities involve the use of the lower body, specifically the legs and knees, to support the body's weight. The patellofemoral joint, which is the joint between the kneecap (patella) and the thighbone (femur), experiences increased pressure and stress during weight bearing activities. In contrast, nonweight bearing activities do not put as much pressure on the patellofemoral joint. The polka is not a relevant option as it is not an activity that involves weight bearing or knee flexion.Rate this question:

A two-year-old with T!0 spina blflda receives physical therapy for gait training. Initially, the preferred method to teach a child how to maintain standing is with the use of:
- A.
bilateral hip-knee-ankle-foot orthoses (HKAFO) and forearm crutches
- B.
Parapodium and the parallel bars
- C.
Bilateral knee-ankle-foot orthoses (KAFO) and the parallel bars
- D.
Bilateral ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) and the parallel bars
Correct Answer
B. Parapodium and the parallel barsExplanation
A parapodium is a standing frame that provides support to the child's lower body while allowing them to practice standing and weight-bearing. It helps in maintaining an upright position and developing balance and stability. The parallel bars provide additional support and stability during gait training. Using a parapodium and parallel bars allows the child to gradually learn and practice standing without relying on external orthotic devices. This approach promotes the development of independent standing skills and encourages natural movement patterns.Rate this question:

A physical therapist notices a small area of skin irritation under the chin of a patient wearing a Philadelphia collar. The patient expresses that the area is not painful, but is becoming increasingly itchy. The MOST appropriate therapist action is:
- A.
Instruct the patient to apply 1% hydrocortisone cream to the area twice daily
- B.
Apply powder to the area and instruct the patient to avoid scratching
- C.

- D.
Discontinue use of the orthosis until the skin has become less irritated
Correct Answer
C. provide the patient with a liner to use as a barrier between the skin and the orthosisExplanation
The most appropriate therapist action in this situation is to provide the patient with a liner to use as a barrier between the skin and the orthosis. This action addresses the issue of skin irritation by creating a protective layer between the patient's skin and the collar, preventing further irritation and allowing the skin to heal. It is a proactive approach that does not involve medication or discontinuing the use of the orthosis, which may be necessary for the patient's condition.Rate this question:
