PRACTISE SESSION 3 2020

Total Questions : 50 Total Marks : 50 Total Time : 100
minutes

Question 1 Mark 1
A patient is sitting over the edge of a table and performing active knee
RS
extension exercises using an ankle weight as resistance.  This exercise
demonstrates what class level? TO
M EN
1 ) First class E 2 ) Third class
U
3 ) Fourth Class
N IQ 4 ) Second class
U
Correct answer : Third class
Explanation :
The axis point is the knee joint.  The effort arm is distal to the knee joint at
the insertion of the patella tendon.  The resistance is at the ankle.  A class II
level has the resistance arm in the middle, making a longer effort arm than
resistance arm.  The class I level has an axis in the middle.

Question 2 Mark 1
A therapist is evaluating the gait pattern of a patient and notes that the
RS
pelvis drops inferiorly on the right during the midswing phase of the right
TO to the left with the upper
lower extremity.  The patient also leans laterally
N
M E
trunk during this phase.  Which of the following is the most likely cause of
this deviation?
U E
1 ) Weak right adductor U N I
longus
Q 2 ) Weak left gluteus medius
3 ) Weak right gluteus medius 4 ) Weak left adductor longus
Correct answer : Weak left gluteus medius
Explanation :
The pelvis is dropping of the right side because the left gluteus medius is
weak.  The patient also may lean toward the left hip joint to move the
center of gravity, making it easier to hold up the right side of the pelvis

Question 3 Mark 1
A physician orders stage II cardiac rehabilitation for a patient.  The orders
are to exercise the patient below 7 metabolic equivalents (METS).  Which of
the following is a contraindicated activity?

4 ) Descending a flight of stairs
independently
Correct answer : Ambulate independently at 5-6 mph
Explanation :
Riding a stationary bike at 5.5 mph is approximately 3.5 METs.  Descending
a flight of stairs is approximately 4-5 METs.  Ironing is approximately 3.5
METs.  Ambulating 5-6 mph is approximately 8.6 METs.

O
lesion NT E
M
1 ) Basal ganglia UE 2 ) Dorsal columns
3 ) Frontal lobe N IQ 4 ) Cerebellum

Explanation :
These signs and symptoms are most likely associated with damage to the
cerebellum.  Injuries to the basal ganglia can present with the following
symptoms:  rigidity, resting tremor, choreiform movements (jerky
movements), and difficulty with initiating movement.  Frontal lobe lesions
lead to a change in mood or overall personality.  The dorsal columns are
involved in proprioception and awareness of movement.

The activation of the larger fibers decreases the amount of sensory
information traveling to the brain.

burn such as this is hip flexion, hip adduction, knee flexion, and ankle
plantar flexion

Explanation :

/
The anterior surface of the face and the upper extremity are each
considered 4.5% of the body, according to the rule of nines.  The anterior
trunk is 18%.  Each anterior surface of the lower extremities is 9%.  The
posterior side is the same, respectively.  The total groin area is 1%.

Question 23 Mark 1
A 67-year-old woman presents to an outpatient facility with a diagnosis of
right adhesive capsulitis.  The therapist plans toS focus mostly on gaining

the shoulder to gain abduction range of
M ENmotion?
U E
1 ) Posteriorly IQ 2 ) Inferiorly
3 ) Anteriorly UN 4 ) Superiorly
Correct answer : Inferiorly
Explanation :
The therapist must stretch the inferior portion of the capsule in an effort to
gain abduction of the involved shoulder.  This principle is supported by the
convex-concave rule.

Question 45 Mark 1
During evaluation of a patient, the therapist observes significant posterior
trunk lean at initial contact (heel strike). Which Sof the following is the most
O R
likely muscle that the therapist needs to focus
N T on during the exercise
E
session in order to minimize this gait deviation?
M
U E
1 ) Gluteus medius I Q 2 ) Gluteus maximus
3 ) Hamstrings UN 4 ) Quadriceps
Correct answer : Gluteus maximus
Explanation :
This gait deviation is caused by the patient leaning back to decrease the
flexion moment created at the hip at initial contact. The gluteus maximus is
most responsible for counteracting this flexion moment.

Question 46 Mark 1
The use of compression stockings on the feet and ankles is contraindicated
in which patient population? S

2 ) Chronic venous disease
M E
E

U
4 ) Burn patients

N IQ
U
/
Correct answer : Chronic arterial disease
Explanation :
Compression stockings (e.g., Jobst, TED hose) are used in patients with poor
venous return. A patient with chronic arterial disease already has difficulty
with getting blood to the lower extremities; there is no need to further
inhibit the flow.

Question 47 Mark 1
A patient presents to an outpatient physical therapy clinic with a 140o
RS
kyphoscoliosis curve. What is the therapist’s greatest concern?
N TO
1 ) Pulmonary status
M E 2 ) The patient’s complaint of low
U E back pain
NIQ
3 ) Poor upright standingUposture 4 ) Gait deviation.
Correct answer : Pulmonary status
Explanation :
A curve greater than 120o is often associated with restrictive lung
dysfunction. The other factors listed are not life-threatening.

Correct answer : 3
Explanation :
The responses of the patient represent the lowest possible score on the
Glasgow Coma Scale. One point is given for each of the listed responses (or
lack thereof).

Question 50 Mark 1
A supervisor in a physical therapy clinic observes a new graduate
performing incorrect exercises on a patient. The exercises are not life
threatening but are incorrect. What is the best way to handle this situation?

to meet with him/her after work to stop exercising the patient and
instruct the patient and therapist
in the correct procedure
Correct answer : The supervisor should tactfully tell the new therapist to
come into his or her office and discuss the situation in private
Explanation :
The supervisor can best handle this situation by discussing the exercise
program away from the patient. Correcting the new graduate in front of the
patient probably would decrease the confidence of the patient in the
treatment and the therapist.
