What is the Objective section?
100
This is the term referring to the diagnostic test’s true positive rate
What is sensitivity?
100
This is an emergent condition resulting from arterial bleeding superficial to the meninges
What is an epidural hematoma?
100
This condition is most likely if there is occasional numbness and tingling, pain with flexion, no swelling, and decreased pain with traction or when resting the arm on the top of the head
What is a disc herniation?
200
This type of end-feel is experienced with elbow flexion
What is soft?
200
The inability to type for a Google employee is this portion of the biopsychosocial model
What is Activity/Functional Limitation?
200
This cranial nerve is tested by assessing the ability to stick out the tongue
What is the hypoglossal nerve?
200
These two conditions may result in teardrop pupil
What are a ruptured globe and corneal abrasion?
200
This term relates to a congenital or acquired spasm of the sternocleidomastoid muscle that causes rotation of the chin and tilt
What is torticollis?
300
Shoulder flexion occurs in this plane
What is the sagittal plane?
300
Clinician’s experience, best research evidence, and this factor are the three principles of evidence based practice
What is patient values?
300
These are 3 common locations used to assess pulse in the upper extremity
What are the carotid, brachial, and radial arteries?
300
During a concussion exam, repeating a series of numbers backwards tests this type of cognitive function
What is concentration?
300
Using the clinical on-field assessment algorithm, this condition is most likely if the person reports no mid-line cervical pain and has neurologic symptoms in one arm
What is a brachial plexus pathology?
400
This MMT numerical grading is described as fair, or the ability to perform the motion against gravity through full ROM
What is 3/5?
400
The Short Form 36 is an example of this type of outcome report/scale. (It asks about daily living, vitality, general functioning)
What is generic patient reported outcome?
400
This term describes the sensation of “pins and needles”
What is paresthesia?
400
This condition may result in the sensation of air escaping while blowing the nose.
What is a blowout fracture (orbital floor)?
400
Monitoring distal vascularity and this function are essential to evaluate for all types of thoracic outlet syndrome
What is neurologic?
500
This nerve is associated with elbow extension, the C7 myotome, and C7 reflex
What is the radial nerve?
500
The Canadian C-Spine is an example of this type of diagnostic tool
What is a clinical prediction rule?
500
A sharp object activates this pathway within the peripheral nervous system
What is the afferent pathway?
500
The tongue blade test can be used to assess mandible fracture/dislocation and this condition that affects many facial bones
What is a Le Fort fracture?
500
This condition is most likely if there is no mid-line cervical pain, no numbness or tingling, pain with extension or rotation in the posterior neck, and occasional “catching”
