ORTHOTIC FITTER TEST QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS| LATEST
Which of these ABC practitioners would be allowed to treat unstable spinal
conditions and long bone fracture.
Certified Orthotist
Spinal bracing helps to control back pain by all of these except
allowing free vertebral motion
These are used to de-weight spinal structures by increasing abdominal
compression
corsets
Thermoplastic panels added to a corset
Enhance A/P control
True of false. Static orthoses allow restricted range of motion against resistance
at a fixed angle.
,False
This is a long-term disease that causes inflammation of the joints between the
spinal bones and the joints between the spine and the pelvis, eventually causes
the affected spinal bones to join together
Ankylosing Spondylitis
This occurs when the bones of the spine between due to trauma. usually the
trauma necessary to break the bones of the spine is quite large. in certain
circumstances however, such as in elderly people and in people with cancer
these same bones can break with little or no force. The vertebrae most
commonly broken are those in the lower back.
Vertebral compression fracture
This is an inward curvature of a portion of the vertebral column.Although the
human spine has some normal inward curvature, excessive inward curvature can
be caused by tight low back muscles, excessive visceral fat, and pregnancy.
Lordosis
This condition is characterized by pain that shoots shown the leg. A bulging or
ruptured (herniated) disk is the most common cause of the pain.
Sciatica
, These orthoses usually offer additional immobilization fort he thumb area. They
are indicated for soft tissue injuries, gamekeeper injuries, collateral ligament
support and avulsion fractures of the thumb
Thumb Spica
Classic way to splint hand after a stroke with thumb in full opposition, wrist in
dorsiflexion, and MP joints flexed.
Wrist- hand Cock- up splint
A shoulder orthoses provides _________ pressure on the forearm/elbow
Upward
This brace is effective following rotator cuff repairs, involved humeral fractures,
and post op shoulder/ arm surgery where shoulder position and elbow flexion
control are desired
Airplane splint
