PEAT Exam I 2025/2026 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | 100%
PASS
orthotic management for idiopathic scoliosis is typically indicated for what
degree of Cobb angle? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔25-45deg
what is the cobb angle - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The way to measure the curvature
of the spine in degrees, and the number of degrees helps the decide what
treatment is necessary
when is a spinal fusion (surgical intervention) indicated? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔Cobb angle of angle greater than 40deg
functional scoliosis - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔temporary curvature caused by factors
like poor posture, mm imbalances, or leg length differences
-this is reversible and can be changed w/ positional changes
,structural scoliosis - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔permanent curvature and rotation of
the spine due to a structural abnormality
w/ a transfemoral amputation what causes knee buckling? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔knee axis anterior to the knee ankle line
w/ a transfemoral amputation what can a long prosthesis cause? - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔abducted stance or circumduction during swing
w/ a transfemoral amputation if the mechanical knee has too much friction
what does this cause? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔circumducted gait
w/ a transfemoral amputation if a prosthesis has a high medial wall what
does this cause? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔abducted stance or lateral bend of the
trunk
PD pt at stage 4 on the Hoehn and Yahr how will they present? - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔decreased chest excursion
-PD is characterized by restrictive lung dysfunction associated w/ rigidity
and resp mm weakness.
-also see decreased inspiratory volume
,what type of breathing pattern would be present for a PD pt at stage 4 on
the Hoehn and Yahr? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔erratic breathing
-due to dyskinetic mvmt patterns of the mms respiration
when does slippage of the iliopsoas tendon cause snapping? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔at approx 45deg when hip is moving from flexion to extension, esp w/
the hip abducted and ER
when does snapping occur w/ a tight ITB? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔felt during hip
flexion and extension, occurs when running
-felt more laterally
what is associated w/ acetabular labral tears? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔-snapping
hip sensation
-sharp pain in the groin
-anterior thigh pain esp during pivoting mvmts
-passive extensions, adducted, and ER
if a pt is asking to switch from aspirin to tylenol what is the most appropriate
response? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔instruct the pt to discuss medication related
questions w/ the prescribing physician

, how does stage 0 lymphedema present? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔no clinical signs
of edema
how does stage 1 lymphedema present? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔-pitting edema
reversible w/ elevation
-edema increased w/ activity, heat, humidity
-better in the morning
how does stage 2 lymphedema present? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔nonpitting
edema that is irreversible along w/ fibrotic skin changes
ho does stage 3 lymphedema present? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔-increase in
severe nonpitting fibrotic edema
-atrophic changes in the skin including hyperkeratosis, papillomas, and
warts
what are the estim parameters for large mm groups w/ intact innervation
thats going to promote increased mm strength? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔-
frequency 35-80pps
-pulse duration: 200-350micro sec
