ACTUAL EXAM 200 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS |ALREADY GRADED A+
What is the make-up of a motion segment? - answer-functional unit of the spine consisting of two
vertebral bodies, the disc in between those bodies, the articular facets, as well as the ligaments binding
the two vertebrae to one another
What is a neurapraxia? - answer-a type 1 nerve injury
reversible conduction block characterized by local ischemia and selective demyelination of the axon
sheath.
What is a neurotmesis? - answer-type 3 nerve injury
the most severe form of nerve injury, associated with complete nerve division and disruption of the
endoneurium
What is plasticity? - answer-the property of a material that instantly deforms when a load is applied
and does not return to its original shape when the load is removed.
What is a scleratotogenous pain pattern? - answer-DULL pain originating from a sclerotome.
commonly seen in injury to the facets or SI joints but is poorly localized
What is a sinu-vertebral nerve (recurrent meningeal nerve)? - answer-recurrent branches of the
primary dorsal rami of the spinal nerves that innervate the fascia, ligaments, periosteum, intervertebral
joints and intervertebral disc of the vertebrae. does not go to anterior longitudinal ligament
What is the ventral rami? - answer-innervation of the skin and muscles of the trunk and limbs
What is wolff's law? - answer-bone is shaped by the forces placed on it or the lack of force as in
immobilization
,What is heuter-volkman's law? - answer-increased epiphyseal pressure leads to decreased growth and
vice versa
What is capsular end feel? - answer-firm but giving, resistance builds with lengthening
What is ligamentous end feel? - answer-palpates as abrupt hard block with no end play
What is bony end feel? - answer-hard, non-giving abrupt stop as two surfaces meet
What is a muscular end feel? - answer-firm but giving, builds with elongation, palpates as deep, taut
and tender fibers
What is empty end feel? - answer-normal end feel resistance is missing
pain is felt before full ROM is achieved
What is intra-articular end feel? - answer-bouncy, springy quality
What is a case series? - answer-a written reports on the details of a series of related cases
What is a case study? - answer-a written report on the details of a single case
What is a cohort? - answer-a defined group of people observed over a period of time
What is a cross sectional study? - answer-measurements taken at one moment in time
What is interobserver reliability? - answer-the consistency of measured results between different
practitioners evaluating the same thing
, What is intraobserver reliability? - answer-the consistency in which one practitioner can consistently
arrive at the same result
What is reliability? - answer-the consistency of a measurement when repeated (reproducibility)
List the Five-Component Model of Vertebral Subluxation Complex - answer-1. Neuropathiophysiology
2. Kinesiopathophysiology
3. Myopathology
4. Histopathology
5. Pathophysiology (Biomechanical)
Who is the creator of the Five-component model of vertebral subluxation complex? - answer-Faye
Neuropathophysiology (Faye model) - answer-biomechanical insult to nerve tissue is proposed to
cause neural dysfunction in three forms, individually or in combination
What is Irritation in regards Neuropathophysiology in the Faye model - answer-(sustained
hyperactivity) of nerve receptors or nerve tissue. This irritation results in FACILITATION.
What is the result of Compression/Mechanical Insult in the Faye Neuropathophysiology component? -
answer-(pressure, stretching, angulation, or distortion) in the intervertebral foramina results in
DECREASED axoplasmic flow. End result being degen. which is exhibited as muscle atrophy, anethesia
and sympathetic atonia.
What is the result of decreased axoplasmic transport in regards to neuropathophysiology portion of
Faye's subluxation model? - answer-alters development, growth and maintenance of cells or structures
that are dependent on this TROPHIC (growth) influence expressed via the nerve.
What is kinesiopathophysiology in regards Faye's subluxation complex? - answer-decreased as
hypomobility, diminished or absent joint play, or segmental hypermobility due to compensation.
