PCE final exam flashcards Questions With Complete
Solutions
a patient exhibits pain and sensory loss in the posterior calf and
dorsal foot. extension of the hallux is poor however Achilles
reflex is normal. which spinal level is most likely involved?
Correct Answer L5
reflexes: medial hamstrings, posterior tibial
myotome: extensor hallucis, peroneals, glute medius,
dorsiflexiors, hamstrings and soleus
dermatome: buttock, posterior and lateral thigh, lateral aspect of
leg, dorsum of foot, medial half of sole. first, second and 3rd
toes
achillies reflex Correct Answer S1-S2
Asymetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) Correct Answer
Birth- 6 months
Rotation of head to one side
Extension of extremities on face side; flexion of extremities on
skull side
at what level of SC injury will a patient be able to ambulate
independently with forearm crutches and bilateral KAFO?
Correct Answer T10-T12
biceps brachii action and nerve supply? Correct Answer
elbow/shoulder flexion and supination
nerve: musculocutaneous nerve
,Borg's RPE scale Correct Answer the most common
perceived exertion scale used in exercise settings
0-nothing
3-moderate
5-strong
7-very strong
10-very, very strong
broca's aphasia often results from a CVA that affects the...?
Correct Answer blood supply is from the middle cerebral
artery. located in the left hemisphere
cluster sampling Correct Answer A probability sampling
technique in which clusters of participants within the population
of interest are selected at random, followed by data collection
from all individuals in each cluster.
conditions caused by maternal substance abuse Correct Answer
low birth weight, increased risk of sudden infant death
syndrome, increased neonatal mortality
Contract-Relax PNF Correct Answer 1) Passive 10-sec pre-
stretch
2) Trainer applies resistance, counteracting client's force of
concentric contraction of target muscle group, w/out completely
restricting joint through its ROM.
3)Relax muscle group and passively stretch; hold for 30 sec to
increase ROM
4) Greater stretch during final phase due to AUTOGENIC
inhibition
, convenience sampling Correct Answer choosing individuals
who are easiest to reach
COPD pulmonary function test findings Correct Answer
increased residual volume. reduction in expiratory flow rates.
hyperinflation of the lungs
dependent vairable Correct Answer in an experiment, the
outcome that is measured; the variable that may change when
the independent variable is manipulated
during the gait cycle what is deceleration phase a part of?
Correct Answer swing phase
extraneous vairables Correct Answer all variables, which are
not the independent variable, but could affect the results of the
experiment
facilitation of muscle tone is performed though? Correct
Answer approximation
vibration
quick icing
facilitation techniques used when treating stroke include?
Correct Answer weight bearing, tapping and approximation
foot position when palpating the tib post tendon? Correct
Answer invert and plantar flex the foot. tendon can be palpated
post and inferior to the medial malleoli
