What is the anterior hip approach?
The buildup of plaque inside the arteries is known as this condition
What is atherosclerosis?
These abnormalities of body structure or function are present at birth and prenatal in origin.
What are congenital anomalies?
This term refers to the severe itching sensation often experienced during the healing of burns or grafted skin.
What is pruritus?
This iconic phrase, shouted by Razorback fans across the nation, is part of the university’s famous hog call. What is the name of this call?
What is “Woo Pig Sooie!”?
This UE condition involves inflammation and thickening of the glenohumeral joint capsule itself—causing global stiffness, severe pain, and difficulty performing ADLs like washing or combing hair.
What is frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)?
BONUS!!!!
1. These two conditions are the most common diagnoses under COPD.
2. Describe the difference between these two conditions
1. What are emphysema and chronic bronchitis?
2. Emphysema:Damage to the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs, leading to their destruction and loss of elasticity. Chronic bronchitis: Inflammation and narrowing of the airways (bronchi), resulting in excessive mucus production and airway obstruction
After an amputation, a client reports painful sensations that feel like they are coming from the missing limb. This phenomenon is known as what?
What is phantom pain?
This burn involves the epidermis and upper dermis, presents with blisters, redness, moisture, and significant pain, but still blanches with pressure. It typically heals in 1–3 weeks with minimal scarring. Name the type of burn.
What is a superficial partial-thickness burn (second-degree)?
This GLOBAL AND INTERNATIONAL artist, known for albums like Take Care and Honestly, Nevermind, also happens to be Dr. Cook’s favorite.
Who is Drake?
This spinal surgery relieves nerve compression by enlarging the opening (foramen) where a nerve root exits the spine, reducing symptoms such as radicular pain or numbness.
What is a foraminotomy?
This condition occurs when narrowed peripheral arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs. Name this condition
What is Peripheral Artery Disease?
This genetic condition, characterized by hypotonia and developmental delay, requires age-specific OT interventions—such as self-feeding and motor development in early childhood, handwriting skills in school-age years, and vocational supports with fading prompts in adulthood. Name the condition.
What is Down Syndrome?
This condition is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and sleep or mood disturbances. It is thought to involve amplified afferent pain signals in the spinal cord, occurs twice as often in women, and may begin after trauma, surgery, infection, or significant stress. Name the condition.
What is fibromyalgia?
This OT model emphasizes volition, habituation, and performance capacity as key components that influence occupational engagement.
What is the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO)?
BONUS!!!!
1. How many grades of Cumulative Trauma Disorder did we discuss in class?
2. In this grade of Cumulative Trauma Disorder, a client experiences persistent pain even at rest, resulting in significant functional impairment. Occupational therapy may need to shift toward pain reduction strategies, activity modification, and protection of irritated structures before resuming strengthening. Name the grade.
1. What is five?
2. What is Grade 4 (Severe)?
This life-threatening condition occurs when a severe inflammatory response to illness or trauma causes fluid to accumulate in the alveoli, drastically impairing gas exchange. With a reported fatality rate of around 40%, early detection and management are critical. Name the condition.
What is Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)?
BONUS!!!!!
1. What were the names of the two phases of prosthetic rehabilitation that we discussed in class?
2. The following OT interventions belong to which phase of prosthetic rehab
. Client education about the prosthesis, Donning and doffing training, Wearing schedule (starting with 15–30 minutes), Inspecting the residual limb for redness, Gradually increasing wearing time, Prosthetic care, Limb hygiene, and Using the prosthesis during ADLs
1. What are the pre-prosthetic phase and the post-prosthetic phase?
2. What is Post-Prosthetic Phase?
BONUS!!!!
Among all burn depths, this type causes the most significant pain because the injury extends deep into the dermis, damaging many but not yet destroying all nerve endings. It often results in scarring and may take 3–8 weeks to heal.
1. Name the type of burn?
2. Name the degree of burn?
1. What is a deep partial-thickness burn
2. What is Second-degree?
This upper-extremity assessment uses a 30-item self-report questionnaire to measure how much difficulty a client has performing daily tasks involving the arm, shoulder, and hand—making it a key tool for tracking functional outcomes in orthopedic and hand therapy. Name the assessment.
What is the DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand)?
A client presents with PIP hyperextension and DIP flexion following chronic inflammatory changes. Name the Deformity
Swan Neck Deformity
During an OT session, a patient asks, “How are you measuring the intensity of my exercise?” You explain that you are using a unit, or calculation, that estimates how much oxygen the body uses during activity compared to resting metabolism. Name this unit or calculation.
What is a MET unit?
This congenital condition results from incomplete fusion of tissue during fetal development, creating an opening in the roof of the mouth that can significantly affect feeding, speech, and ear health. Name the condition
What is a cleft palate?
During an OT session, a client reports sharp, painful sensations in response to light touch from clothing and mild temperature changes—stimuli that are not typically painful. This hypersensitivity is often seen as a symptom for chronic pain, and or neuropathies. Name this symptom.
What is Allodynia?
A client with diabetes reports painful clicking and occasional locking of the finger during flexion, along with difficulty grasping utensils and fastening clothing. You suspect inflammation at the A1 pulley is restricting smooth tendon gliding. Name the condition.
