NEW Notes From 2nd PEAT Exam
Factors that may lead to a greater delay in recovery for plantar fasica: - ANSWER 1)
increased BMI (>25= poorer prognosis)
2) decreased hallux extension (helps support medial arch?)
How do you test the integrity of an achille's tenon? - ANSWER squeeze the calf with the
ankle in neutral dorsiflexion
What does an anterior drawer at the ankle with the ankle in neutral dorsiflexion test? -
ANSWER This stress test is for evaluating the anterior talofibular ligament
How do you test the calcaneofibular ligament? - ANSWER Talar tilt with the ankle in
neutral dorsiflexion
What is horizontal nystagmus caused by? - ANSWER a symptom of a cerebellar problem
such as a lesion of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery
What is ataxia a symptom of? - ANSWER a cerebellar problem such as injury to the
basilar artery
What is apraxia due to? - ANSWER a lesion to the middle cerebral artery
What do the rhomboids do? - ANSWER elevate, retract, and downwardly rotate the
scapula
Plantar fascia Intervention goals should focus on: - ANSWER 1) midfoot stability
2) functional foot and ankle range of motion (ROM)
,3) Normal (5/5) foot and ankle strength
4) minimal pain
5) return to functional status for activities of daily living and vocational activities
How do you test the anterior talofibular ligament? - ANSWER Anterior drawer at the
ankle with the ankle in neutral dorsiflexion
When do you use paraffin? - ANSWER used as thermotherapy when there is no swelling.
Used to decrease pain and increase motion
do not place on a site with an incision
ACL rehab: when would you perform partial mini squats? - ANSWER sub-acute phase:
closed chain
avoid open chain that places more stress on the ACL
ACL rehab: When would you perform a SLR? - ANSWER acute phase: places no added
stress on the ACL
used to strengthen the quad
Oswestry Disability Questionnaire what does it measure? - ANSWER patient's current
level of self-reported level of disability used for low back pain
higher score is worse, you want a low score
Why would athletes have a lower HR? -ANSWER they have a greater SV and SV x HR
=CO
A patient complains of fatigue, weakness of the proximal upper extremities, and double
vision that worsens throughout the day. Examination reveals bilateral ptosis of the
eyelids, difficulty chewing and swallowing, and an inability to raise the eyebrows. Which
of the following is the MOST likely condition present? -ANSWER myasthenia gravis
, The symptoms described in this scenario represent a loss of function involving multiple
cranial nerves. That it worsens throughout the day suggests fatigue characteristic of
myasthenia gravis.
ALS symptoms: - ANSWER 1) tripping
2) stumbling
3) falling
4) loss of muscle control/ strength in hands/ arms
5) difficulty speaking, swallowing, breathing
6) chronic fatigue
7) muscle twitching/cramping
Is ALS due to UMN or LMN damage? - ANSWER both
1) UMN: spasticity, muscle twitching, or fasiculations, muscle shaking or clonus
2) LMN: muscle weakness, muscle shrinking, or atrophy
Will you get blood pressure changes with heart failure-CHF? - ANSWER no
Are HR changes consistent with heart failure-CHF? - ANSWER no
Is cyanosis a symptom of heart failure? - ANSWER yes
Is diaphoresis a symptom of heart failure? - ANSWER no
Is SOB a symptom of heart failure exacerbation? - ANSWER yes
Is dependent edema a symptom of heart failure exacerbation? - yes
