PEAT RETIRED EXAM SCRIPT 2025/2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔Criterion-related validity - ✔✔validity of an instrument by comparing it to a gold
standard of measurement.
✔✔unlock the knee from terminal extensio - ✔✔Lateral (external) rotation of the femur
on the tibia
✔✔foot is too far medially inset// midstance - ✔✔cause the prosthetic foot to lean
laterally
✔✔socket is in excessive adduction // midstance - ✔✔cause the prosthetic foot to lean
medially
✔✔foot is too far posteriorly set// midstance - ✔✔cause early heel rise
✔✔gait training in the use of crutches, hand placement? - ✔✔one hand on the gait belt
and one hand on the patient's shoulder
✔✔throbbing pain - ✔✔cardiovascular
✔✔Signs and symptoms of Arnold-Chiari malformation - ✔✔weakness, pain, sensory
changes, vertigo, diplopia, and ataxia
✔✔Signs and symptoms of shunt malfunction - ✔✔Irritability, lethargy, and vomiting
✔✔S/sx of tethered cord - ✔✔changes in bowel and bladder function, increased
spasticity, back pain
✔✔PPMS - ✔✔continuous, steady decline with or without occasional plateaus.
✔✔most common type of subluxation (shoulder) - ✔✔inferior
✔✔S1 derm - ✔✔covers the plantar surface of the foot
lateral aspect of the foot and ankle
✔✔L4 myotome - ✔✔innervates the ankle invertor (tibialis anterior) + dorsi
✔✔S1-S2 myotome - ✔✔plantar flexors (gastrocnemius and soleus)
s1:muscles that perform eversion (fibularis [peroneus] longus and brevis
✔✔muscle energy technique for posterior rotation of the left innominate - ✔✔Isometric
contraction of the ipsilateral hip flexors
, ✔✔Methotrexate - ✔✔effects to counter impairments associated with rheumatoid
arthritis (pain, swelling, loss of range of motion)
✔✔Prolonged bed rest increases - ✔✔Resting and submaximal heart rates
✔✔Enzymatic debridement - ✔✔effective only if there is necrotic tissue present in the
wound bed
✔✔C-reactive protein - ✔✔nonspecific indicator of inflammation or infection
✔✔hiatal hernia - ✔✔AVOID SUPINE & VALSALVA
shoulder pain
✔✔femoral hernia - ✔✔lateral pelvic wall pain
✔✔inguinal hernia - ✔✔groin pain
✔✔umbilical hernia - ✔✔pain around the umbilical ring in the mid to lower abdomen
✔✔overflow incontinence. - ✔✔Diabetes mellitus is a common cause of neurogenic
bladder dysfunction
caused by a neurological condition that results in disruption of the activity of the
detrusor muscle. This is a lower motor neuron problem, for which pelvic floor exercise
would not be an appropriate intervention.
Frequent urination or constant dribbling is characteristic of overflow incontinence. It is
usually the result of a neurologic problem or obstruction in the bladder.
✔✔CONTRAINDICATION to participation in aquatic - ✔✔Severe kidney disease
✔✔slipped capital femoral epiphysis - ✔✔deficits in hip internal rotation and abduction
✔✔Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease - ✔✔vascular necrosis of the femoral head
groin pain, antalgic gait, and limited hip range of motion (e-page, 434).
✔✔+ rx to babinksi - ✔✔the great toe extends while the other toes plantar flex and
splay.
