Diagnosis
This genetic condition involves degeneration of the anterior horn cells, causing progressive muscle weakness.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy
This grading scale is used to describe the severity of club foot.
DiMeglio Scale; Pirani Scale
A child may have this category of heart defect if they have persistent blue tint to their skin or lips.
Cyanotic heart defect.
Children in the NICU can benefit from positioning the UEs in this position for soothing.
Flexed and adducted to midline.
This condition results from a decrease in venous return of blood from LEs during position changes.
Orthostatic hypotension.
This outcome measure assesses quality of life including daily activities, movement and balance, pain, fatigue, and eating.
PedsQL
This condition affects a child's ability to learn and perform motor skills and participate in ADLs at school and home.
Developmental Coordination Disorder
Movement-Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2)
You are evaluating a child with a burn, and you notice that there is a clear line of demarcation on the forearm and affects the distal part of extremity. What are you concerned about?
Child abuse
Treatment for this condition should include airway clearance techniques, postural exercises, breathing training, and incontinence exercises.
Cystic Fibrosis
This is recommendation for daily physical activity for all children.
60 minutes of daily moderate to vigorous physical activity.
An 11-year old child with CP uses powered mobility the majority of the time, and walks short distances at home. What GMFCS level are they?
IV
This disease results in progressive muscle weakness with fatty infiltration, leading to progressive disability and ultimately early mortality.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Foot progression angle measures this feature of gait.
Intoeing/outoeing
This diagnosis will present with limited PROM and AROM on evaluation, combined with likely swelling and redness around affected joints.
JIA
Children with DCD respond best to what type of intervention: Impairment-based or task-based?
Task-Based. Neuromotor task training, cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance, and motor imagery.
This core value is defined as "steadfast adherence to high ethical principles or standards, inluding being truthfu and ensuring fairness"
Integrity
This is the age where gross motor development peaks in children with CP.
6 years.
This diagnosis is characterized by severe hypotonia and global delays, and children require strict dietery restrictions due to the lack of regulation.
Prader Willi
This test is valid in predicting loss of ambulation in children with DMD.
6 Min Walk Test
You are evaluating a 3 month old infant with torticollis and a limitation in PROM of 15 degrees. What grade is this equal to?
Grade 2: Early Moderate
It is imperative to avoid eccentric exercise in what population?
DMD
This theory is defined as the capability of the nervous system to organize and coordinate patterns of activity to produce motor actions and movements. The most common application of this theory is to gait.
Central Pattern Generators.
Children with lumbar SCI injuries will primarily utilize this type of wheeled mobility for home and the community.
Manual Wheelchair
This category of heart defect prohibits oxygenated blood from reaching the body.
Acyanotic heart defects.
This test evaluates the stability of a child's position of the head of the femur in the acetabulum.
Ortolani test (reduction) and Barlow test (stress test)
A 5 year old boy arrives to his initial evaluation with a limp and pain in his hip and knee. What do you suspect?
Legg-Calve-Perthes (Perthes Disease)
Pressure garments should be fitted and worn for 23 hours/day for up to 2 years for best results, but burns must be what % healed before initiating this treatment?
90%
Agility, balance, and coordination are all components of this type of fitness.
Skill-related fitness.
2 years

This test assesses muscular strength in children with torticollis.
Muscle Function Scale
You are evaluating an 8 month old infant with torticollis. They have a 10 degree restriction in rotation PROM. What grade is this?
Grade 4: Later Mild
True or false: You should create an environment that limits errors in practice when treating children with cognitive impairments.
True.
By this age, the gait pattern is mature, although variability continues to improve beyond this point.
7 years
This test is valid for children ages 4-8 and measures sensory function with visual, tactile, kinesthetic, and motor tasks.
Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT)
