If my cadence is 120 steps/minute, how long would it take me to complete 120 strides?
2 minutes: 120 secs
Cadence is steps/minute. Cadence is half strides per 60 seconds or full strides per 120 sec.
Order the following terms from LEAST to MOST severe in terms of injury
-Axonotmesis
-Neurapraxia
-Neurotmesis
1. Neurapraxia --> 2. Axonotmesis--> 3. Neurotmesis
1. conduction block d/t myelin dysfunction, axonal continuity preserved, pain, minimal atrophy, loss motor/sensory/proprioception
2. Reversible injury, nerve can regenerate at site of lesion @ 1 mm /day; injury usually d/t compression, crush, tractions
3. Irreversible injury; no possibility of regeneration without surgery, flaccid paralysis, axon, myelin, connective tissue all damaged.This modality is the use of ultrasound for the transdermal delivery of medication.
Phonophoresis
Which of the following study types is an observational study where the data/observations are made at only one point in time and all subjects are tested at relatively same time?
A. case control study
B. cohort study
C. randomized control trial
D. cross-sectional
D. cross sectional
A. Case control: retrospective, observational study in which individuals who already have a disease are matched with a comparison group of those without
B. Cohort: longitudinal observational; followed over time to compare the occurrence of a disease in the exposed group to that of unexposed.
C. RCT: relative effect of a specific intervention compared to a control group
TRUE or FALSE the palmar and dorsal interossei muscles are innervated by the ULNAR nerve
TRUE!
PADS --> Palmar ADduct fingers
DABS --> Dorsal ABduct fingers
A positive O'Briens test is ___(1)___ which indicates __(2)___ shoulder pathology.
1. PAIN when pressure is applied with test position of 90 degrees flexion, 10-15 degrees horizontal ADduction and IR (thumb down), but RELIEF with same test position except shoulder in ER (thumb up)
2. SLAP tear
**NOTE: ensure the pain is not located over AC joint (false positive)
This pathology is an autoimmune disease process resulting in neuromuscular junction pathology. There is a defect in the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles at the neuromuscular junction.
Myasthenia Gravis
This type of cold therapy is effective for small/irregular areas and is available for at home use, but may be time consuming or too intense for patient.
A. ice massage
B. cry cuff
C. vapocoolant spray
D. cold bath
A. ice massage***
-cryo cuff = compression, long duration mild cooling, but can't observe during treatment and is just for extremities
-vapocoolant spray is brief, localized, treats trigger points, and increases ROM but is difficulty to spray uniformly and risk of frostbite
-cold bath: effective for distal allows for circumferential contact with cold, but requires gravity dependent positioning
The approximate area (in %) of the bell curve that indicates 1 standard deviation above, and 1 standard deviation below the mean is ___%
68%
-.13%, -2.14%, -13.5%, -34.4%, 0, 34.4%, 13.5%, 2.14%, 0.13%
2SD above/below: 95%
3SD above/below
The ___ ____ nerve is a branch off the _____ nerve and innervates the forearm/hand extensors in addition to ABductor policis longs
-Posterior interosseous nerve
-Branch off the radial nerve
This gait deviation is due to weak dorsiflexors or dorsiflexor paralysis
foot slap
FALSE: distal SYMMETRICAL
Notes:
Post-polio (LMN, asymmetrical, no sensory loss)
ALS: (UMN&LMN, distal first, no sensory loss)
TRUE or FALSE: a low BNR place a patient at greater risk for undesirable effects (hot spots, periosteal pain) during ultra-sound treatment
FALSE: a low BNR
BNR: beam non uniformity ratio (ratio between the spatial peak intensity and spatial average intensity); the higher quality, the lower BNR.
An effect size of ____ indicates a large effect
>0.5=large effect
.1-.3 small
.3-.5 moderate
Effect size is a measure of the magnitude of the difference between 2 treatments and magnitude of relationship between 2 variables. The larger the effect size the more likely it is statistically significant.
The ability to make the "OK" symbol with your hand means that the ___ ____ nerve is intact. This nerve is a branch off the ____ nerve.
-Anterior interosseus nerve
-Median nerve
