Non-Systems NPTE | UPDATED Questions with 100% Verified
Answers
Question: endoskeleton(modular) shank
Answer:
-designed to incorporate synthetic foam cover shaped like opposite leg. As a result, device is more cosmetically
attractive nad makes pt more socially comfortable.
Question: SACH foot device
Answer:
- most frequnetly prescribed foot ankle assembly - provide pt with durability, low maintenance, and cosmesis
with endoskeletal shank
Question: lofstrand crutch
Answer:
- used with all levels of weight bearing and require highest level of coordination for proper use
Question: walker
Answer:
-used with all levels of weight bearing and used with three point gait pattern - has good base of support and
stability
Question: peroneus longus
Answer:
- O and I: originates from lateral surface of fibula and inserts on lateral side of base of first metatarsal -function:
acts to evert foot and assist in plantar flexion of ankle joint. -motor point: anterolateral surface of lower leg
Question: intermittent compression
Answer:
- used to control edema due to venous insufficiency or lymphatic dysfunction -indication 1 venous stasis ulcer 2
intermittent claudication 3 lymphedema -contraindication acute pulmonary edema since shift of fluid from
peripheral to central circulation may increase stress on heart.
,Question: standard properties of normal distribution
Answer:
1 34% is appro area under normal curve bounded by 1 standard deviation above or below mean 2 48% bounded
by 2 standard deviations above or below the mean 3 68% bounded by 1 standard deviation below mean and 1
above mean
Question: simple random sampling
Answer:
ubiased; each member of population has equla chance of being chosen
Question: signs of cold intolerance
Answer:
1 pain 2 caynosis 3 wheals 4 mottling 5 increase pulse rate 6 drop in blood pressure -inX: stop Tx immediately
Question: to minimize electrode resistance
Answer:
1 keep sponge interface well moistened 2 maintain evenm firm contact with skin 3 remove hair from skin 4
large electrodes
Question: knee immobilizer
Answer:
-limit hip flexion by maintaining knee in extended position -helpful in pt to maintain posterior hip precautions
independently
Question: duty cycle; 1,5 W/cm2,pulsed 20%, 1MHz, 6 minutes
Answer:
-defined as ratio of on time to total time -to increase tissue temp necessary to increase duty cycle or use
continuous mode -for thermal effects use ,5 to 2,0 W/cm2 for nonthermal effects use ,5 to ,75 with 20% duty
cycle
Question: pt with T10 paraplegia
Answer:
-need wheelchair for community ambulation due to increased energy expenditure with walking. - lower abs and
intercostals would be lowest innervated muscles.
Question: cryotherapy contraindication
Answer:
,1 Raynaud's disease 2 cryoglobulinemia; abnormal blood protein transform themselves to gel when exposed to
cold which can lead to ischemia and gangrene 3 cold urticaria: allergic like response producing hives or large
welts on skin following exposure to cold
Question: lumbar traction
Answer:
- 25-50 lbs of traction force when initiating mechanical lumbar traction; it is low enough to reduce risk of
protective muscle guarding and spasm -50% of pt's body weight necessary to cause mechanical separation in
lumbar spine
Question: FIM
Answer:
-used in rehab hospitals to determine pt's level of disability and burden of care. -7point scale is utilized to
examine 18 areas. -used as predictor of disability
Question: Tinetti performance oriented mobility assessment
Answer:
1 first section: assess balance through sit to stand and within standing position 2 second section; assess gait at
normal and rapid speeds. there is total maximum score of 28 with pt scoring less than 19 considered to be at
high risk for falling
Question: Fugl Meyer Assessment
Answer:
-ordinary scale used to measure recovery post CVA -method: maximum for LE and UP is 100 and areas include
1 joint movement 2 pain 3 balance 4 sensation 5UE and LE motor function
Question: Barthel index
Answer:
designed to measure amount of assistance needed to perform ten different ADL and mobility activities with
total maximum score of 100
Question: factors of excessive redness over patella
Answer:
-settling due to limb shrinkage; when pt's residual limb sits too low in prosthesis which is caused by shrinking
of residual limb or inadequate number of residual limb socks -InX: add additional one-ply socks to residual
limb
Question: plastic AFO with articulating ankle joint
, Answer:
- more cosmetic and lighter than metal upright AFO. - provides total contact and therefore should not be used
on pt with fluctuating edema or significant sensory deficts -allow tibia to advance forward over fixed foot
which assist pt with weight shifting during sit to stand
Question: metal AFO
Answer:
-ankle joint can be locked or set to have limited anterior/posterior capability -since this design not provide total
contact, it does not pose risk to pt with fluctuating edema or sensory deficits
Question: cane length
Answer:
from greater trochanter straight to floor
Question: pt with C4 and C5 tetraplegia
Answers
