Duputren's contracture affects what area? - ANSWER-Contracture of the palmar fascia of the hand and results in a flexion deformity of involved metacarpophalangeal and proximal IP joints. Affects the 4th and 5th digits. This area is tender and sensitive to pressure. De Quervain's Disease - ANSWER-Inflammation of the tendon sheath of the thumb that surrounds the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis. Likely to produce pain in the distal radius. Ulnar Nerve Entrapment Presentation - ANSWER-Pt may report weakness and numbness in the ulnar nerve distribution. This condition is more common at the elbow than the wrist. Less likely to experience tenderness and sensitivity to pressure. CTS presentation - ANSWER-peripheral nerve entrapment as a result of compression of the median nerve. Pt presents with sensory changes and paresthesia along the median nerve distribution. May even extend up to the UE, neck, shoulder. What are the shoulder medial rotators? - ANSWER-pec major teres major lats subscapularis Teres major is innervated by ? - ANSWER-the subscapular nerve Never roots C5, C6, C7 The latissimus doors is innervated by? - ANSWER-The thoracodorsal nerve C6, C7, C8 Pronation of the subtalar joint includes what motions - ANSWER-Eversion Abduction DF supination of subtalar joint includes what motions? - ANSWER-Inversion Adduction PF A stage 3 pressure injury has what? - ANSWER-It has a full-thickness skin loss involving damage to or necrosis of the subcutaneous tissue that may extend down to, but not through, the underlying fascia (deep crater with or without undermining). a stage 2 pressure ulcer has what? - ANSWER-It has partial-thickness skin loss involving the epidermis, dermis, or both (e.g., abrasion, blister, or shallow crater). Stage 4 pressure ulcer has what? - ANSWER-It has a full-thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis, or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures (e.g., tendon or joint capsule). What is an indication of positive support reflex? - ANSWER-The sign for the positive support reflex is brief weight-bearing followed by retraction of legs. What are true negatives? - ANSWER-True negatives are individuals who are correctly identified as not having the condition. What are false negatives? - ANSWER-False negatives are those that are positive but test negative on a screening test. False negatives are individuals who are incorrectly identified as not having the condition. Hypercalcemia would result I what symptoms? - ANSWER-muscle weakness and cardiac arrhythmias. Hypocalcemia would result in what symptoms? - ANSWER-characterized by cramps, numbness, and tingling in the extremities. hypoglycemia occurs when? symptoms of patient - ANSWER-When there is too much insulin Irritability and pallor mood swings difficulty concentrating increased heart rate hyperglycemic symptoms - ANSWER-lethargy, confusion, flushed skin, and thirst What phase of the gait cycle is DF required? - ANSWER-Dorsiflexion is required during midswing to allow the foot to clear the ground as it swings through. Which patellar glide to increase flexion? - ANSWER-Inferior Which patellar glide to increase extension? - ANSWER-superior Steppage gait is associated with weakness in? - ANSWER-Steppage gait is associated with weak ankle dorsiflexors, not plantar flexors. hydrostatic pressure - ANSWER-Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that is exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity. Hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to depth measured from the surface because of the increasing weight of fluid exerting downward force from above. The radial nerve innervates what muscles? - ANSWER-Wrist extensors Wrist abduction Finger extension The median nerve innervates what muscles? - ANSWER-wrist flexors Alternating current is used for? - ANSWER-Alternating current is used for pain control and muscle contraction. Monophasic pulsed current is used for? - ANSWER-Monophasic pulsed current is used for tissue healing and acute edema. Biphasic pulsed current is used for? - ANSWER-Biphasic pulsed current is used for pain control and muscle contraction. What type of current is needed for Iontophoresis? - ANSWER-Direct current What motions are contraindicated for acute anterior shoulder dislocation? - ANSWER-Flexion abduction ER Motions contraindicated for posterior shoulder dislocation? - ANSWER-Flexion, adduction, and internal rotation 1 Hz is deep or superficial? - ANSWER-Deep 3 Hz is deep or superficial? - ANSWER-Superficial with what condition will you hear crackles with breathing? - ANSWER-pneumonia What do you hear when auscultating a pt with emphysema? - ANSWER-decreased breath sounds Air sacks are enlarged with emphysema
