1.
In closed chain pronation is a triplane motiong consisting of calcaneal eversion, talar abduction and dorsiflexion.
2.
In closed chain supination, the calcaneus inverts and the talus adducts and plantarflexes.
3.
The ankle has more stability in supination.
4.
When looking at alignment of the ankle: which of the following is true?
A. 
Alignment must be assessed from subtalar neutral position ( Neither pron. or sup.)
B. 
Forefoot and rearfoot alignment must be assessed simultaneously
C. 
Subtalar joint assessed in both prone and weight bearing positions
D. 
Forefoot and rearfoot alignment are evaluated separately
5.
Ideal rear-foot alignment consists of the plum line bisecting the calcaneus and the cuboid.
6.
Inversion sprains are less common than eversion sprains.
7.
Which of the following are commonly involved in sprains?
A. 
Anterior talofibular (ATFL)
B. 
Anterior talocrural (ATCL)
C. 
Posterior talofibular (PTFL)
D. 
8.
Treatment of sprains include which of the following?
A. 
Progress weight bearing as tolerated
B. 
Begin resistance exercises
C. 
Immobilize (may allow DF/PF)
D. 
Proprioception activities
E. 
Surgery for Grade III- (controversial)
9.
An incision in the skin and fascia to release pressure is:
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
10.
Achilles tedonitis/tendinosis often occurs as a result of frequent ___________ use of gastroc/soleus.
11.
Which of the following is true regarding Achilles tendonitis/tendinosis?
A. 
Pain/ swelling 2-6 CM above calcaneal insertion
B. 
Pain/ swelling 2-6 cm below calcaneal insertion
C. 
Achilles prone to degeneration/poor vascularization
D. 
Often occurs as a result of frequent concentric use of gastroc/soleus
12.
It is important to ensure that talocrural mobility exists prior to stretching the gastroc because if DF is not available at the joint, other structures may end up being stretched as a consequence.
13.
An Achilles rupture is treated by:
A. 
Rest/Ice /Elevation/ Compression
B. 
C. 
Surgery and cast for 8-12 weeks
D. 
Surgery and WBAT for 4 weeks
14.
Which of the following is true regarding Achilles rupture PT treatment?
A. 
~5 months total (Post op)
B. 
Begin with ROM (careful not to stress achilles) (post op)
C. 
Progress to weight bearing activities (Post op)
D. 
Regain ROM-slow progress ( Post cast)
15.
Increased pressure within a closed fascial space is:
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
16.
The 4 compartments include the anterior, lateral, superficial posterior and deep posterior.
17.
Which of the following are ankle fractures classified by the Lauge-Hansen classification system?
A. 
Pronation/ External rotation
B. 
C. 
Supination/ External rotation
D. 
E. 
F. 
18.
Chronic irritation of the __________ ___________ is called plantar fasciitis.
19.
Which of the following is a causative factor of Plantar Fasciitis?
A. 
PF/ intrinsic foot muscle weakness
B. 
Poor alignment (subtalar pronation, pes cavus)
C. 
DF/ intrinsic muscle weakness
D. 
Obesity/ sudden weight gain
20.
Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis include pain in the medial border of the foot or heel, and pain greater in the morning.
21.
Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis include which of the following?
A. 
Decrease pain/ inflammation
B. 
Reduce stress ( modify activity & alignment)
C. 
D. 
Strengthen/ Increase flexibility
22.
Talipes Equinovarus (club foot) can be caused from either postural or structural developments.
23.
A full sole insert it used to help with LLD.
24.
Adjunctive intervention for the LE include which of the following?
A. 
B. 
C. 
Biomechanical foot orthotics
D. 
25.
The capsular pattern of the ankle is that which loses plantar flexion before dorsiflexion.
