Many sportsmen and women experience back pain at some point in their careers, ranging from minor discomfort to more serious spinal issues. This statement is likely true as back pain is a common problem in sports due to the physical demands and strain placed on the back during training and competition.

4. The back is a complicated structure consisting of vertebrae or bones of the spine, each vertebrae having two synovial joints and a series of______ that restrict the movement at each vertebrae.

Explanation

The back is made up of vertebrae or bones of the spine, and each vertebra has two synovial joints. These joints, along with a series of ligaments, help to restrict the movement at each vertebra. Ligaments are strong bands of connective tissue that connect bones to other bones and provide stability to the joints. In the context of the back, ligaments play a crucial role in supporting and limiting the movement of the vertebrae, ensuring the overall stability and integrity of the spine. Tendons, on the other hand, connect muscles to bones and are not directly involved in restricting movement at the vertebrae.

Submit
5. 'Trigger Points' are areas on the body, which on palpation may produce pain.

Explanation

Trigger points are indeed areas on the body that, when palpated or pressed, can cause pain. These points are typically found in muscles and can be tender to touch. Trigger points are often associated with muscle knots and can refer pain to other areas of the body. The identification and treatment of trigger points can be helpful in managing pain and improving musculoskeletal function.

Submit
6. The piriformis muscle is a deep muscle of the ______  that commonly spasms causing low back pain and sometimes sciatic pain.

Explanation

The piriformis muscle is located in the buttock region. It is a deep muscle that can often go into spasms, leading to low back pain and potentially sciatic pain. Therefore, the correct answer is "Buttock."

Submit
7. The majority of injuries are in the :-  ( Select Three)

Explanation

The majority of injuries are in the lumbar area of the back, the neck, and the thoracic area. These areas are particularly prone to injuries due to their involvement in various physical activities and movements. The lumbar area of the back is commonly injured due to poor lifting techniques or excessive strain. The neck is susceptible to injuries from whiplash or sudden movements. The thoracic area can be injured during activities that involve twisting or bending. Therefore, these three areas are more prone to injuries compared to the arm.

Submit
8. Always refer any condition that seems other than a muscular problem or presents with any of the following symptoms:-   (Select Four)

Explanation

The given answer options include symptoms that suggest a condition other than a muscular problem. Loss of sensation in the legs, feet, arms, or hands can indicate nerve damage or compression. Numbness or tingling in these areas can also be a sign of nerve involvement. Pain that does not improve when resting may indicate an underlying issue such as inflammation or joint involvement. Loss of normal function, such as foot drop or dragging, can indicate nerve or muscle dysfunction. Incorrect walking and sitting habits may contribute to muscular problems, but they are not specific symptoms.

Submit
9. The sports that create most problems are contact sports such as:-  (Select Two)

Explanation

The correct answer is Rugby and Butterfly stroke in swimming. Rugby is a contact sport that involves physical tackles and collisions, which can lead to injuries and problems such as concussions. Similarly, the butterfly stroke in swimming requires a lot of upper body strength and can put strain on the shoulders and back, leading to potential problems or injuries. Jogging, on the other hand, is a low-impact exercise that is generally considered safe and does not create as many problems compared to contact sports.

Submit
10. Back pain can also be referred from other areas of the body such as the hamstrings or arms.

Explanation

Back pain can indeed be referred from other areas of the body, such as the hamstrings or arms. This means that pain originating from these areas can be felt in the back. Therefore, the statement is true, not false.
