◉ Spinal bracing helps to control back pain by all of these except:
A. Limiting motion,
B. Unloading discs,
C. Allowing free vertebral motion
D. Unloading vertebrae
Answer: C. Allowing Free vertebral Motion
◉ These are used to de-weight spinal structures by increasing
abdominal compression
Answer: Corsets
◉ What do thermoplastic panels do when added to a corset?
Answer: Enhance A/P control
,◉ True or False. Static orthoses allow restricted range of motion
against resistance at a fixed angle?
Answer: False
◉ This is a long-term disease that causes inflammation of the joints
between the spinal bones and the joints between the spine and the
pelvis, eventually causes the affected spinal bones to join together?
Answer: Ankylosing Spondylitis
◉ This occurs when the bones of the spine between due to trauma.
usually the trauma necessary to break the bones of the spine is quite
large. in certain circumstances however, such as in elderly people
and in people with cancer these same bones can break with little or
no force. The vertebrae most commonly broken are those in the
lower back.
Answer: Vertebral compression fracture
◉ This is an inward curvature of a portion of the vertebral column.
Although the human spine has some normal inward curvature,
excessive inward curvature can be caused by tight low back muscles,
excessive visceral fat, and pregnancy
Answer: Lordosis
, ◉ This condition is characterized by pain that shoots shown the leg.
A bulging or ruptured (herniated) disk is the most common cause of
the pain
Answer: Sciatica
◉ These orthoses usually offer additional immobilization fort he
thumb area. They are indicated for soft tissue injuries, gamekeeper
injuries, collateral ligament support and avulsion fractures of the
thumb
Answer: Thumb Spica
◉ Classic way to splint ht hand after a stroke with thumb in full
opposition, wrist in dorsiflexion, and MP joints flexed.
Answer: r Wrist- hand Cock- up splint
◉ A shoulder orthoses provides _________ pressure on the
forearm/elbow
Answer: Upward
◉ This brace is effective following rotator cuff repairs, involved
humeral fractures, and post op shoulder/ arm surgery where
shoulder position and elbow flexion control are desired
Answer: Airplane splint
