Hip Hip Hooray!
The hip joint is classified as this type of synovial joint and exhibits this many degrees of freedom. (Two answers needed)
Ball and socket joint; 3 degrees.
A patient moves through full knee flexion ROM against gravity and is able to tolerate minimal resistance before breaking. This MMT grade would be assigned.
3+/5 (Fair Plus)
Ankle dorsiflexion occurs in this plane and rotates around this axis. (Two answers needed)
Sagittal plane on the frontal axis.
The cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions contain this many vertebrae, respectively. (Three answers needed)
cervical = 7, thoracic = 12 and lumbar = 5
Unlike a preparatory task, this intervention is selected and applied by the practitioner without the client's active participation in a purposeful activity.
Preparatory method
A decreased angle of inclination (<125*) is called____.
Coxa vara
This ligament is the primary restraint to valgus forces at the knee.
Medial collateral ligament (MCL)
This strong medial ankle ligament resists excessive eversion of the foot.
Deltoid ligament
In gait and balance terminology, this acronym refers to the area beneath and between the points of contact with the supporting surface.
BOS (Base of Support)
CPT code 97130, Therapeutic Activity, is most commonly associated with these OT intervention approaches. (You should have more than one approach)
Biomechanical, rehabilitative, and task-oriented.
Name the primary muscle responsible for hip flexion and its nerve innervation. (Two answers needed)
Iliopsoas; femoral nerve
This fibrocartilaginous structures absorb shock, improve joint congruency, and distribute compression loads across the tibiofemoral joint.
Meniscus
These three motions combine to create pronation of the foot.
Eversion, abduction, and dorsiflexion
This condition is characterized by a narrowing of the spinal canal that may compress the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Spinal stenosis
When grading an intervention, if a patient lacks both strength and range of motion, this impairment is typically addressed first.
Range of motion
During single-leg stance, this muscle group contracts on the stance leg to prevent the pelvis from dropping on the opposite side.
Hip abductors (gluteus medius and gluteus minimus)
A patient demonstrates weakness with knee extension. Injury to this nerve may be responsible.
Femoral
Descriptor of gait that is defined as the distance between the point of initial contact of one foot and the point of initial contact of the opposite foot.
Step length
A patient nodding "yes" is primarily moving at this joint.
Atlanto-occipital joint
Name one therapeutic activity that could be used to improve forearm supination while engaging the patient in a purposeful task.
Instructor will decide if your answer is functional and appropriate.
This muscle is the primary hip extensor and plays a major role in rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and propelling the body forward during gait.
Gluteus maximus
During open-chain knee extension, this arthrokinematic motion of the tibia occurs during the final degrees of extension to "lock" the knee.
External (or lateral) rotation
A patient demonstrates foot drop and cannot achieve this minimum amount of active dorsiflexion needed for toe clearance during gait.
10 degrees
This structure sits between vertebral bodies and functions to absorb shock and distribute compressive loads within the spine.
Intervertebral disc
Strength refers to the ability to do this, while endurance refers to the ability to do this over time. (Two answers needed)
Strength = generate force against resistance, and endurance = sustain activity or repeated contractions over time
