This cervical vertebrae is referred to as the "atlas" 

What is C1? 

100

This is joint is the only connection between axial and appendicular skeleton? 

What is the sternoclavicular joint?

100

This bony landmark serves as the distal portion of the humeroradial joint.

What is the radial head? 

100

Elbow dislocations tend to be displaced in which direction? 

What is posteriorly? 

100

This is utilized to objectively identify the impact of lower extremity injury on activities of daily living.

What is the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS)? 

200

This cervical vertebrae is referred to as the axis. 

What is C2? 

200

90 degrees of abduction, and full external rotation of the shoulder. 

What is the closed-packed position

200

This bony landmark serves as the proximal portion of the humeroradial joint. 

What is the capitellum? 

200

Shoulder dislocations tend to be MOST commonly dislocated in which direction? 

What is anterior-inferior? 

200

This set of rules determines the necessity of x-rays of the cervical spine. 

What are the Canadian C-Spine rules? 

300

This muscle is responsible for ipsilateral side bending and contralateral rotation. 

What is the SCM or sternocleidomastoid? 

300
Weakness in this muscle may cause scapular winging.

What is the serratus anterior? 

300

This ligament is often injured with a nursemaid's elbow or traction type injury in young children. 

What is the annular ligament? 

300

This nerve is often injured when the humerus is fractured.

What is the radial nerve? 

300

This is the normal end-feel of elbow extension. 

What is a bony end-feel? 

400

This muscle, when acting unilaterally, produces cervical side bending, and acting bilaterally, produces cervical extension. 

What is the upper trapezius? 

400

ER rotation is most limited, followed by abduction limitations, and internal rotation is least limited. 

What is the capsular pattern of the shoulder? 

400

An athlete suspected of having pronator teres syndrome, what nerve is involved? 

What is the median nerve? 

400

Often the result of a violent mechanism such as a car wreck that produces rapid flexion and extension, this injury usually presents neck pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion without numbness and tingling.

What is whiplash (cervical muscle strain)? 

400

Often the result of an anterior shoulder dislocation, this is an injury to and anterior, inferior portion of the glenoid labrum. 

What is a Bankart lesion? 

500

These cervical (and thoracic) nerve roots combine to form the brachial plexus. 

What is C5-T1? 

500

This bony landmark is the insertion point of the biceps brachii

What is the radial tuberosity? 

500

Assessment of the biceps brachii reflex, test the integrity of which cervical nerve root? 

What is the C5-C6? 

500

Posterior dislocation of this joint is considered a medical emergency due to the proximity of neural and vascular structures.

What is posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation? 

500

This syndrome is the combination of weak deep neck flexors and scapular stabilizers and tight pectoralis and trapezius muscles.

What is upper crossed syndrome?
