Principles of EBP
100
Large, flat, triangular bone that sits over the 2nd to 7th ribs.
Scapula.
100
Joint position where capsule and other soft tissues are in the most relaxed position.
Open, resting or loose-packed position.
100
The process in which blood is removed from the body and filtered across a membrane to remove impurities.
Hemodialysis.
100
Non-invasive test that provides sectional imaging of bone and most soft tissues.
Computed tomography (CT or CAT scan).
100
The degree to which a test consistently measures what it is intended to measure.
Reliability.
200
Means away from the trunk or a specific joint.
Distal.
200
Defined as the movement between joint surfaces.
Arthrokinematics.
200
A hemorrhage into the skin resulting in a "black and blue" appearance.
Ecchymosis.
200
The collection of CSF from a needle placed into the subarachnoid space below the L1 vertebra, usually between L3 and L4.
Lumbar puncture (LP).
200
A tentative and testable explanation of the relationship between variables.
Hypothesis.
300
What 3 bones form the pelvis?
Ilium, ischium, and pubis.
300
Type of end-feel typically felt in the presence of edema or joint swelling.
Boggy.
300
The acute or gradual accumulation of CSF, causing excessive ventricular dilation and increased ICP.
Hydrocephalus.
300
When using ABCs to intepret musculoskeletal radiographs, what does the B stand for?
Bone density (density and texture of bone).
300
Typically, if the p-value (probability) is lower than or equal to ____, you can reject the null hypothesis (meaning that there is strong evidence to support your hypothesis).
Less than or equal to 0.05
400
The strongest ligament in the knee joint.
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).
400
Most of the muscles of the human body are ____-class levers (ex. elbow flexion).
3rd.
400
A motor response to a sensory stimulus and is used to assess the integrity of the motor system in the conscious or unconscious patient.
Reflex.
400
Involves the radiographic visualization of the patency, stenosis, or vasospasm of intra or extracranial arteries after the injection of a radiopaque contrast medium via a catheter (usually femoral).
Cerebral angiography.
400
DAILY DOUBLE!
The study of disease frequency and distribution in a community; the science concerned with examining the specific causes of health problems.
Epidemiology.
500
How many bones make up the vertebral column?
33.
7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 (fused) sacral, and 4 (frequently fused) coccygeal.
500
Term for when the femoral neck is rotated forward.
Antetorsion.
500
The obliteration of the pleural space, most commonly performed for persistent pleural effusions or pneumothoraces.
Pleurodesis.
500
Measures small changes in blood flow that occur with brain activity, which may be used to evaluate the effects of stroke or other disease.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
500
This type of scale contains data that you can place in order or rank (ex. MMT).
Ordinal scale.
Nominal scale classifies variables into mutually exclusive groups (ex. Male or Female).
Interval scale classifies variables into predetermined equal intervals with no true zero point (ex. Fahrenheit or Celsius).
Ratio scale classifies variables based on equal intervals and a true zero point (ex. height or weight).
