Why are inversion ankle sprains more common than eversion ankle sprains?

because of the bony anatomy on the lateral side of the ankle, which tends to limit eversion.

The main function of the rotator cuff muscles is to

counteract the pulling of the humeral head superiorly

Inversion and eversion movements occur primarily at the:

subtalar joint

In an inversion ankle sprain, the first ligament to tear is the

the ankle, composed of the anterior talo-fibular ligament (ATFL),

If an athlete tells you they heard a "pop" when they injured their knee, what do you suspect initially?

rupture to a ligament or tendon may suggest fracture

In a first-time anterior glenohumeral dislocation, the mechanism of injury is usually?

slight abduction (20º to 30º) and external rotation

During an injury evaluation, what is the easiest and major way to differentiate between a strain and a contusion?

strain: damage to a muscle or tendon contusion: a bruise that caused bleeding underneath the skin without breaking the skin.

Impingement syndrome of the shoulder usually involves which muscle?

supraspinatus tendon

A common mechanism of injury for a longitudinal tear of the meniscus is

a twisting motion when the foot is fixed and the knee is flexed

An acromioclavicular sprain is also called

"separated shoulder"

The anterior cruciate ligament in the knee prevents

-anterior translation (movement) of the tibia on a fixed femur -posterior translation of the femur on a fixed tibia -internal and external rotation of the tibia on the femur -hyperextension of the knee

Which of the following functions is provided by the menisci?

1) stability2) shock absorption3) lubrication4) proprioception

What type of condition is chondromalacia patellae?

Chondromalacia patellae, also known as "runner's knee," is a condition where the cartilage on the under surface of the patella (kneecap) deteriorates and softens.

Which of the following structures is associated with Jumper's Knee?

Infrapatellar tendon

what is closed packed position in the ankle. Why is important to put the ankle in this position when applying a spica post injury or a prophylactic ankle taping procedure?

Knee Close-Packed Position - Full Extension, External Rotation

A direct blow to the lateral aspect of the knee is a common mechanism of injury for the

MCL

Locking is a classic sign of injury to the

Medial meniscus

Visual analysis of overall appearance, symmetry, willingness and ability to move is called

Primary survey

The three lateral ankle ligaments are

The lateral ligaments of the ankle, composed of the anterior talo-fibular ligament (ATFL), the calcaneo-fibular ligament (CFL) and the posterior talo-fibular ligament.

Which of the following best describes an effusion?

The process by which a gas escapes from a container into a vacuum through a small hole

Range of motion and manual muscle tests do not need be done bilaterally

True

A "tap test" or percussion test that is positive may indicate

a fracture

Which of the following will test ROM of the hamstrings

extend the hip and rotate the lower leg when the knee is bent?

The medial meniscus has an attachment to the medial collateral ligament and fibers from the biceps femoris muscle.

false

Prolonged pressure against the medial aspect of the first MTP joint that leads to thickening of the medial capsule and bursa and results in a severe valgus deformity of the great toe is referred to as

hallus valgus

Functional testing determines

identify the patients ability to move body part through the range of motion actively passively, and against resistance.

Immediate treatment for a first-time anterior glenohumeral dislocation includes:

immediate transportation to the nearest medical facility

What joint in the ankle allows dorsi and plantar flexion

intertarsal joints (medial and lateral malleoli

Which of the following is true for the medial collateral ligament?

it is injured much more frequently than the lateral meniscus because it is more securely attached to the tibia and therefore less mobile

Shin splints is a "garbage pail" term for any pain in the anterior lower leg. A preferred term is

medial tibial stress syndrome

The presence of generalized anterior knee pain and crepitus in activities such as walking up and down stairs are symptoms associated with

patellar tendonitis

In the absence of understanding or being knowledgeable about the structures being palpated, the value of a coach

pg89 and 90

A highly specialized band of tissue on the plantar surface of the foot that provides support for the longitudinal arch

plantar fascia

The common mechanism for a lateral ankle sprain is

plantarflexion and inversion

Which of the following muscles is part of the quadriceps muscle group?

rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius.

During the history portion of an injury eval your athlete states it felt like "someone shot me in the back of the leg". This would be a symptom of which injury?

rupture of the achilles tendon
