Whiplash is a specific injury.
- True

Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Whiplash is not a specific injury, but rather a term used to describe a range of neck injuries that occur due to a rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck. It is a common injury that can result from car accidents, sports injuries, or other traumatic events. Whiplash can cause symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and dizziness. Therefore, the given statement is false.

Pain on active neck testing will help you tell the difference between a muscle injury and a ligament injury?
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement is false because pain on active neck testing alone cannot accurately differentiate between a muscle injury and a ligament injury. Both muscle and ligament injuries can cause pain during active neck testing, so additional diagnostic tests and evaluations are necessary to determine the specific type of injury.

5.

The C4 ligament when injured can cause pain in the neck, scapula, upper arm, and chest?
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The C4 ligament is located in the neck, so if it is injured, it would primarily cause pain in the neck area. It is unlikely to cause pain in the scapula, upper arm, and chest as these areas are not directly affected by the C4 ligament. Therefore, the statement is false.
