Stroke
To reduce flexion hypertonicity at the elbow following a stroke, the muscles to be considered for botulinum toxin injection include the biceps brachii, brachialis, and this muscle....
brachioradialis
This is the most sensitive method available for early diagnosis of avascular necrosis of the hip.
MRI
When poor initiation is noted during rehabilitation of a patient with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), this region of the brain is the suspected location of injury.
Frontal Lobe
The proper length for a cane should be measured with the elbow in this position.
20 degrees of flexion
This is the most common cause of lumbar stenosis.
Degenerative Disk Disease
The most common abnormal urodynamic finding in stroke survivors is this.
detrusor hyperreflexia
The "Sag sign" is indicative of damage to this structure
PCL
This part of the brain is the most common site of cerebral contusion following a traumatic brain injury.
Temporal Lobe
This is the final activating force used in the muscle energy technique
Patient muscle contraction
The neck should be placed in this position when prescribing cervical traction for a patient with a radiculopathy.
Partial Flexion
According to the Boston Classification System of Aphasia, the fluent aphasia associated with phonemic and semantic paraphasia and poor comprehension is this.
Wernicke
This is the best initial knee imaging study on a patient with suspected Osgood-Schlatter disease.
Lateral Radiograph
Neurochemical changes following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may contribute to secondary brain injury by this mechanism.
Increased free-radical production
In a boutonniére deformity, the PIP and DIP joints are in these positions, respectively
PIP in flexion
DIP in extension
These corticosteroids have the longest duration of anti-inflammatory activity.
Betamethasone and Dexamethasone
The neurodevelopmental training technique in stroke management attempts to do this in the spastic hemiplegic extremity.
Inhibit Tone
The most common pathology underlying rotator cuff disorders in the nonathlete...
Subacromial impingement
For patients with brain injuries who manifest agitation, carbamazepine is used because of its effect on...
mood-stabilization
This exercise/exercise type has the greatest effect on bone formation.
Weight Lifting/weight-bearing exercises
These fibers transmit poorly localized, dull, visceral pain to the spinal cord.
Unmyelinated C
A 57-year-old man sustained a stroke one year ago. He now has good voluntary control of the affected arm, with elbow and shoulder strength at 4/5, wrist extension at 2+/5, finger extension at 2-/5, and fair grip. Tone is minimally increased throughout the arm and sensation is intact. Doing this is the most effective means of improving his hand function.
Restraining the unaffected hand during activities of daily living
A patient recently fell onto her outstretched hand with the wrist dorsiflexed and radially deviated. Physical examination is suggestive of a scaphoid fracture. Radiographs of the wrist and hand, including special scaphoid views, are negative. The appropriate initial treatment is this.
Casting/Splinting
This clinical feature puts a patient with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) at greatest risk for developing posttraumatic epilepsy.
Penetrating Injury
A 30-year-old man presents with low back, knee, and ankle pain of two months’ duration. He also has had burning on urination. Physical examination reveals a rash over the palms and soles. Sacroiliitis is present on radiographs. The clinical diagnosis is this.
reactive arthritis (Reiter disease)
A patient on methadone presented with euphoria, agitation, and pupillary constriction. He subsequently had progressive drowsiness leading into a coma. He most likely his experiencing this.
Opioid-related intoxication
