Lower Extremity Therapeutic Interventions (1)

Structural Deformities

100

Name this deformity (anatomical name only)

Hallux Valgus

200

Name this deformity (only points for anatomical name)

Pes Cavus

300

This is a flexible deformity from a flexion contracture in the PIP joint.

Hammer toe

400

A flexion contracture of the DIP, which can become permanently bent downward.

Mallet Toe

500

This deformity is caused by a flexion contracture of the DIP joint and hyperextension at the MTP joint

Claw Toe

Orthotics

100

T/F: The more rigid the orthotic, the more exact the measurement must be to fit into the shoe?

True

200

These orthotics can be purchased OTC (over the counter) and are typically less expensive. However, they may not be suited for every patient's needs.

Pre-made orthotics

300

T/F: Although a patient may have only one affected extremity, orthotics are always prescribed and worn in pairs.

True

400

These orthotics are used for pes cavus or rigid feet to absorb stresses

Soft Orthotics

500

This type of orthotics is the most effective in reducing foot pain. Their purpose is a functional orthotic that improves alignment, reduces shear stresses, reduces shock, and stabilizes/supports the foot joints.

Semi-Rigid Orthotics

Footwear

100

Based on this shoe, what type of motion is occurring with the foot 

Supination

200

This type of shoe has an elevated heel and good cushion in the forefoot and rear for stability of the heel

Running shoes

300

Name this part of the shoe 

Toe box

400

What type of cleat should be worn on natural grass compared to artificial turf.

Long cleated soccer/football cleats

500

This type of sock is not recommended to be worn during sports

Cotton socks

Phases of Rehab

100

This wall stretch is targeting what muscle and should be used during which phase of rehab?

Soleus/ active phase

200

Cryotherapy is used as a modality to decrease pain and spasms, and should only be used during which phase of rehab?

Inactive Phase

300

Name this test and what phase in rehab it would be implemented    

Agility T-test/ Advanced phase

400

The goal in this phase is to improve mobility through gains in ROM and flexibility and to resolve any remaining problems of inflammation

Active Phase

500

This exercise is targeted in what phase of rehab, and assessing what component of rehab? 

Late active phase to early resistive phase/ROM or Strengthening of intrinsic foot muscles accepted

Planning for Rehab

100

When should patient education begin?

During initial contact with the patient

200

These goals address physical impairments such as pain, posture, and muscle weakness and are typically attainable in ~2 weeks.

Short term goals

300

These questionnaires are used to determine a general or specific assessment related to patient conditions. They can give insight to patient perspectives on their injury/illness.

Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)

400

Name 2 things that can impact/influence a patient's prognosis when creating their care plan.

Age, Comorbidities (High BP, diabetes, etc), severity/complexity of injury/illness, patient's motivation

500

This is a universal system that serves to identify health and disability as they relate to individuals. Used to help clinicians create a plan of treatment that addresses the individual.
