MSK PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS WITH ALL CORRECT ANSWERS A physical therapist compiles a table which identifies joint position at the hip, knee, ankle, and metatarsophalangeal joints for each subunit of the stance phase of gait. Which of the following is NOT accurate in describing normal joint position at the end of terminal stance? 1.15 degrees of hip hyperextension 2.0 degrees of knee extension 3.0 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion 4.10 degrees of metatarsophalangeal hyperextension - Answer-4.10 degrees of metatarsophalangeal hyperextension A physical therapist makes footwear recommendations for a patient with foot pathology. The recommendations include a high and wide toe box, small to no heel, medial arch support, and a contoured posterior counter. This type of shoe prescription would be the MOST beneficial for a patient diagnosed with: oiditis x valgus cavus arsalgia - Ax valgus A physical therapist treats a patient who sustained a right lateral ankle sprain less than six hours ago. The therapist contemplates the use of cold water immersion as a cryotherapeutic agent. What would be the PRIMARY limitation of this type of intervention? ased cell metabolism sive vasoconstriction of blood vessels involved extremity cannot be elevated ased nerve conduction velocity - A involved extremity cannot be elevated A patient who has been on bed rest for three weeks has developed a plantar flexion contracture. Which phase of the gait cycle would be MOST problematic for the patient based on the described impairment? strike to foot flat flat to midstance ance to heel off off to toe off - Aance to heel off A physical therapist positions a patient in prone to measure passive knee flexion. Range of motion may be limited in this position due to: e insufficiency of the knee extensors e insufficiency of the knee flexors ve insufficiency of the knee extensors ve insufficiency of the knee flexors - Ave insufficiency of the knee extensors A physical therapist reads in the medical record that the foot progression angle of a four-year-old child was recorded as -10 degrees (minus 10 degrees). Which range of motion measurement at the hip would MOST likely be associated with the obtained foot progression angle? 1.75 degrees of hip medial rotation and 25 degrees of hip lateral rotation 2.35 degrees of hip medial rotation and 70 degrees of hip lateral rotation 3.30 degrees of hip medial rotation and 20 degrees of hip lateral rotation 4.45 degrees of hip medial rotation and 45 degrees of hip lateral rotation - Answer-1.75 degrees of hip medial rotation and 25 degrees of hip lateral rotation A patient two days status post arthrotomy of the knee completes a quadriceps setting exercise while lying supine on a mat table. During the exercise the patient begins to experience severe pain. The MOST appropriate physical therapist action is: the patient perform the exercise in sidelying the patient flex the knee prior to initiating the exercise a pillow under the ankle ntinue the exercise - Antinue the exercise A physical therapist observes that a patient with a history of recurrent lateral ankle sprains exhibits excessive supination during gait. Which condition would be MOST commonly associated with this type of observation? l tunnel syndrome eal tenosynovitis ar fasciitis rior tibial tenosynovitis - Aeal tenosynovitis A physical therapist works with a patient that sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and a medial meniscus tear. Which scenario would result in the GREATEST likelihood of a successful surgical meniscus repair? 1.a tear involving the inner third of the meniscus with reconstruction of the ACL 2.a tear involving the inner third of the meniscus with conservative management of the ACL 3.a tear involving the outer third of the meniscus with reconstruction of the ACL 4.a tear involving the outer third of the meniscus with conservative management of the ACL - Answer-3.a tear involving the outer third of the meniscus with reconstruction of the ACL A physical therapist examines a patient with suspected vascular compression in the shoulder region. Which special test would be LEAST beneficial to confirm the therapist's suspicions? 1.Adson maneuver 2.Halstead maneuver 3.Froment's sign 4.Wright test - Answer-3.Froment's sign A physical therapist assesses a patient with low back pain using Waddell's signs to determine if the patient's pain is nonorganic in nature. Which of the following would be considered a positive Waddell's sign? back pain with a straight leg raise test in both supine and sitting positions ry loss in a dermatomal pattern back pain with passive shoulder and pelvis rotation occurring simultaneously ized tenderness in the low back with palpation - A back pain with passive shoulder and pelvis rotation occurring simultaneously A physical therapist designs a home exercise program for a patient rehabilitating from a lower extremity injury. Which step would be the MOST appropriate to maximize patient compliance? the exercise program to 10 minutes t a maximum of five different exercises t exercises consistent with the patient's rehabilitation goals physically demanding exercises - At exercises consistent with the patient's rehabilitation goals
