Ch17: (T/F) Most direct causes of anterior glenohumeral dislocations are situations in which the arm is forced into abduction and external rotation
T
Ch17: (T/F) The SC joint is a ball-and-socket synovial joint that enables rotation of the clavicle with respect to the sternum.
T
Ch17: (T/F) The point at which the clavicle changes shape and contour presents a structural weakness, and the largest number of fractures to the bone occurs at this point.
T
Ch17: (T/F) The rhomboids must relax to enable anterior movement of the glenohumeral joint during the throwing motion
T
Ch17: (T/F) Thoracic outlet compression syndrome is often aggravated in overhead rotational stresses while the muscles are loaded
T
Ch17: (T/F) When an athlete has sustained a clavicle fracture, he/she will support the injured arm with the unaffected arm.
T
Ch21: (T/F) A cervical sprain has the same mechanism of injury as a cervical strain, but the action is more violent in nature for the sprain
T
Ch21: (T/F) A cervical sprain usually involves the sternocleidomastoid and the trapezius.
T
Ch21: (T/F) Because the intervertebral disks are avascular, they rely on changes in posture and body position to produce a pumping action to bring in nutrients
T
Ch21: (T/F) The spinal nerve is composed of two roots. One root is responsible for motor function; the other root is responsible for sensory function
T
Ch22: Which of the following tests is not used to assess sacroiliac dysfunction? a. approximation test b. Faber test c. Gaenslen's test d. Oppenheim test
d. Oppenheim test
Ch22: Lumbar facet pathology may involve: a. subluxation or dislocation of the facet b. facet joint syndrome c. degeneration of the facet d. all of the above
d. all of the above
Ch22: Compression loads on the lumbar spine are greatest during: a. walking b. back hyperextension c. trunk flexion d. sitting in a slouched position
d. sitting in a slouched position
Ch22: (T/F) Because the intervertebral discs are avascular, they rely on changes in posture and body position to produce a pumping action to bring in nutrients
T
CH16: In a femoral shaft fracture, the thigh appears: A) shortened and externally rotated B) shortened and internally rotated C) to be the same length, but externally rotated D) to be the same length, but internally rotated
A) shortened and externally rotated
Ch22: (T/F) Because the spinal cord ends at about the L1 or L2 level, fractures of the lumbar vertebrae below this point do not pose a serious threat but should be handled with care to minimize potential nerve damage to the cauda equina.
T
Ch22: (T/F) During the straight leg raising test, pain that occurs opposite the leg lifted indicates a herniated disc.
T
CH16: Avascular necrosis of the proximal femoral epiphysis is called: A) Larsen-Johansson disease B) Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease C) Osgood-Schlatter disease D) osteochondritis dissecans
B) Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease
Ch16 (T/F): The hamstrings are important dynamic stabilizers of the knee and, therefore, strengthening exercises for this muscle group should be a major component of any hip or knee rehabilitation program
T
Ch21: (T/F) Axial compression loading has been identified as the leading mechanism of injury for severe cervical spine injuries
T
Ch21: (T/F) Extension exercises reduce load on the intervertebral disks and allow self-mobilization of the motion segments
T
Ch21: (T/F) Fractures and dislocations commonly occur at the 4th, 5th, and 6th cervical vertebrae.
T
Ch21: (T/F) In a brachial plexus injury, pain is usually transient and resolves itself in 5 to 10 minutes
T
Ch22: (T/F) A bony defect in spondylolysis tends to occur before age 8, yet often does not produce symptoms until ages 10 to 15.
T
Ch16 (T/F): The femur angles laterally downward from the hip during the support phase of walking and running, enabling single-leg support beneath the body's center of gravity.
F
Ch16 (T/F): The quadriceps muscles are the most frequently strained muscles in the body.
F
Ch21: (T/F) Approximately 70% to 90% of all cases of scoliosis can be directly linked to overdevelopment of muscles on the dominant side of the thorax or to a leg length discrepancy.
F
Ch22: (T/F) A lumbar fracture at the L5 level could be catastrophic if a bony fragment pierces the spinal cord, and could result in total nerve disruption distal to that site.
F
Ch22: (T/F) An extruded disc is associated with a definite deformity produced by the eccentric nucleus as it works its way through the fibers of the annulus
F
Ch22: (T/F) If the sciatic nerve is compressed by the piriformis muscle, pain increases during external rotation of the thigh
F
Ch22: (T/F) Most of the axial compression load on the spine is borne by the facet joints
F
Ch22: (T/F) Sciatica with hard signs is characterized by some sensory changes, mild or no reflex change, normal muscle strength, and normal bowel and bladder function.
F
Ch22: (T/F) Scoliosis can be directly linked to overdevelopment of muscles on the dominant side of the thorax or to a leg length discrepancy
F
Ch22: (T/F) Spinal rotation capability is greatest in the lower lumbar region.
F
Ch22: (T/F) The lumbar region permits the largest cumulative range of motion in flexion/extension with 46 degrees, compared with 16 degrees in the thoracic region.
F
Ch22: (T/F) The most commonly herniated discs are the lower two lumbar discs, with ruptures occurring on the anterior or anterolateral aspect of the disc.
F
Ch22: (T/F) To reduce some compressive loading on the lumbar region, runners should run with a slight forward lean and avoid overstriding to increase speed.
F
Ch22: (T/F) Weak ankle plantarflexion and a reduced Achilles tendon reflex indicate an L5 nerve root injury.
F
Ch22: (T/F) A potential sign of sciatica due to disc herniation is pain that increases with forward sitting, coughing, and sneezing.
