• In splinting or immobilization, the functional position of the

hand includes wrist:

• extension, phalangeal flexion, and thumb abduction
• extension, phalangeal extension and thumb abduction
• extension, phalangeal flexion and thumb adduction
• flexion, phalangeal flexion and thumb adduction - ANSWER-
• The functional position of the wrist and hand describes the

position from which the optimal function is most likely to occur.This position is described as

• slight wrist extension
• slight ulnar deviationc) fingers flexed at the MCP, PIP & DIP

joints and d) thumb slightly abducted.

• During pregnancy, which of the following is contraindicated?
• curl-ups
• bridging
• double leg lifts 1 / 4

• | P a g e

• deep breathing with forced expiration - ANSWER-C. During

pregnancy and postpartum period, the stretched abdominal muscles are unable to stabilize the lower back, as the legs are raised. Attempting to perform double leg lifts can overwork the abdominal muscle and cause damage to the spinal joints.

• A target heart rate is determined for individual entering a

training program in order to:

• regulate exercise intensity
• estimate energy expenditure
• control blood pressure and specific heart rate
• ensure participants exercise at maximal capacity - ANSWER-
• Exercise intensity can be expressed as O2 uptake during

activity. HR and O2 uptake have a relatively lower linear relationship. Therefore, utilizing a target HR will ensure that the appropriate exercise intensity is being achieved. Estimation of energy expenditure requires measurement of O2 consumption that is then calculated into calories metabolized during the activity. BP cannot be controlled at specific HR. Exercising at maximal capacity does not achieve aerobic training benefits and is unsafe for the majority of patient population.

• A herniated nucleus pulposus at the L3-L4 disc produces

which of the following clinical findings?

• Numbness in the back of the calf and dorsiflexor weakness
• Numbness in the anteromedial thigh and knee and

quadriceps weakness

• Numbness and weakness in the thigh, legs, feet and/or

perineum

• Numbness in the back of the calf and atrophy of

gastrocnemius and soleus - ANSWER-B. Pressure on the L3 L4 root causes numbness in the anteromedial thigh and knee and quads weakness. Numbness in the back of the calf and dorsiflexor weakness is indicative of L4, L5 and S1 nerve root involvement. Numbness and weakness in the thighs, legs and feet and perineum is indicative of L2 through S1 nerve root involvement. Numbness in theback of the calf and atrophy of gastrocsoleus is indicative of the S1 nerve root involvement.

• The intervention for a patient with limitation of shoulder

flexion and medial rotation includes mobilization. Which glide is the-most appropriate for mobilizing this shoulder to specifically increase the restricted motion?

• Posterior
• Anterior 3 / 4

• | P a g e

• Medial
• Lateral - ANSWER-A. The most appropriate mobilization

technique for increasing both shoulder flexion and medial rotation would be posterior (dorsal) glide. Lateral glide may be used as a general joint distraction technique. Medial glide would not be appropriate to increase flexion and medial rotation.Anterior glide is used to increase extension and lateral rotation.

• Which of the following techniques is MOST appropriate for a

patient with low postural tone?

• Slow regular rocking while sitting on the treatment bolster
• Continuous pressure to the skin overlying the back muscle
• Low frequency vibration to the back muscle
• Joint approximation applied through the shoulder to the

trunk - ANSWER-D. Options A, B & C are techniques used to decrease postural tone, which is not indicated for this patient.Option D is the most appropriate technique for improving low postural tone.

• Which skin change associated with aging has the GREATEST

effect on wound healing?

• Reduction in sensation
• Decrease elasticity of the skin
