When performing deep tendon reflexes a 4+ would indicate what?
Clonus
This condition, commonly seen in individuals over 50, involves insidious onset of pain at the base of the thumb, swelling, and difficulty with gripping or pinching movements.
Thumb OA
What direction should the glide be to improve shoulder horizontal adduction?
Posterior

Annular ligament
Based off the 2022 CPG for lateral elbow pain what level of evidence is manipulations and mobilizatons of the elbow joint?
B level evidence
When performing the adson maneuver a positive result could include 2 things what are these?
Symptom reproduction or loss of pulse
This condition is often caused by falling onto an outstretched hand and typically affects athletes. It involves constant pain and pain on palpation located in the anatomical snuffbox.
Scaphoid fracture
What type and direction should a mobilization be to improve pain with gripping in the lateral elbow?
MWM with a lateral glide
What 2 tendons make up the anatomical snuff box?
Abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis longus

No
Biceps tension test is used to indicate what condition?
SLAP lesion
This type of injury to the shoulder is more common in athletes involved in contact sports or those who perform repetitive overhead motions, and is also associated with a heavy eccentric load.
SLAP tear
to increase supination at the proximal radioulnar joint, the glide must be done in which direction?
Anterior
What nerve is most likely affected by traction of the arm overhead while tilting and rotating the head away from the extremity?
The long thoracic nerve

less symptoms in the supinated position
This condition involves loss of ROM and is more commonly seen in individuals between the ages of 40 and 60 and women are at higher risk.
