PEAT Exam 4 Newest 2025 Complete 200 Questions And Correct Detailed Answers (Verified Answers)|Already Graded A+

1) A patient with a right transfemoral prosthesis will be able to maintain the knee in extension while weight bearing if the center of gravity of the body is shifted so that the gravitational line

falls:

• posterior to the axis of the right knee joint.
• lateral to the axis of the right knee joint.
• anterior to the axis of the right knee joint.
• medial to the axis of the right knee joint. - ANSWER-3

Static alignment for knee stability is established by positioning of the knee so that the lateral reference line falls anterior to the knee joint.

1) During manual muscle testing of the hip flexors in the sitting position, a patient exhibits lateral (external) rotation with abduction of the thigh as resistance is applied. The physical therapist should suspect muscle substitution by the: 1 / 4

• | P a g e

• sartorius.
• tensor fasciae latae.
• adductor longus.
• semimembranosus. - ANSWER-1

The sartorius flexes, laterally (externally) rotates, and abducts the hip joint. With resisted hip flexion, the sartorius will be recruited to perform all three actions, giving the observed substitution pattern. The tensor fasciae latae is a medial (internal) rotator and flexor of the hip, so substitution by it would involve medial (internal) rotation and abduction. The adductor longus would adduct the hip. Substitution by the semimembranosus would cause hip extension.

1) A physical therapist reads that the interrater reliability of a new hand-held dynamometer is .93. What is the MOST appropriate interpretation of this value?

• Similar scores were obtained for a group of subjects when

different therapists measured the subjects

• Similar scores were obtained for a group of subjects when the

same therapist repeated the measures 2 / 4

• | P a g e

• Dissimilar scores were obtained for a group of subjects when

different therapists measured the subjects.

• Dissimilar scores were obtained for a group of subjects when

the same therapist repeated the measures. - ANSWER-1

Interrater reliability concerns variation between two or more raters who measure the same group of subjects. The reliability coefficient has values from 0.00 to 1.00. A reliability of 1.00 means there was total agreement. Thus a value of .93 means there was a high degree of agreement on the scores from the dynamometer among several therapists. Agreement of measures by the same therapist would be intrarater reliability.

1) A physical therapist researcher is developing a study to compare differences in range of motion outcomes in two groups of patients who have had a total knee arthroplasty. Over an 8- week period, one group of patients receives outpatient physical therapy 1 time/week and the other group receives outpatient physical therapy 3 times/week. In this study, what is the dependent variable?

• Range of motion
• Frequency of visits
• Total knee arthroplasty 3 / 4

• | P a g e

• 8 weeks - ANSWER-1

The dependent variable (ROM) is the factor that is caused by the independent variable (frequency of visits)

1) Which of the following teaching strategies is MOST appropriate for an older adult patient with mild dementia?

• Use auditory or visual input separately.
• Use metaphors to reinforce new concepts.
• Establish a consistent pace for teaching.
• Present one piece of new information at a time. - ANSWER-4

To minimize confusion, the patient should be presented with one new item at a time. The pace of learning should be set by the patient. Visual and auditory input together can promote learning.Concrete examples are easier to understand than metaphors.

1) A patient with chronic venous insufficiency of the lower

extremities is MOST likely to exhibit:
