FIN PTEXEV: SENSORY ASSESSMENT
TRUE OR FALSE: Examination of sensory function contributes critical information to
establishing a physical therapy diagnosis and prognosis, identifying anticipated goals
and expected outcomes, and developing a POC. - question and answerTRUE
This involves determining the pattern (specific boundaries) of sensory involvement. -
question and answersensory assessment
This is accomplished using knowledge of skin segment innervation by the dorsal roots
and peripheral nerves. - question and answerpattern identification
This is the skin area supplied by one dorsal root - question and answerdermatome
CHOOSE FROM THE CHOICES INSIDE THE PARENTHESES: Peripheral nerve
injuries present sensory impairments that (perpendicular, parallel) the distribution of the
involved nerve and correspond to its pattern of innervation. - question and
answerparallel

Received by extroceptors from the external environment via the skin and subcutaneous
tissue; Include the following sensations: Pain, Temperature, Light touch, Pressure -
question and answersuperficial sensations
Received by proprioceptors from muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and fascia;
Include the following sensations: Position sense and awareness of joints at rest,
Movement awareness, vibration - question and answerdeep sensations
Position sense and awareness of joints at rest - question and answerproprioception
Movement awareness - question and answerkinesthesia
Combination of both the superficial and deep sensory mechanisms - require information
from both exteroceptive and proprioceptive receptors, as well as intact function of
cortical sensory association areas - question and answercombined cortical sensations

Graphesthesia, Tactile localization, Recognition of texture, Double simultaneous
stimulation. - question and answercombined cortical sensations
