Questions with Solved Answers/ Verified.
What therapy intervention is most beneficial for BPPV - -Canalith repositioning
maneuvers are a highly effective treatment for BPPV and are designed to dislodge the
provoking canaliths. This treatment technique attempts to move the canalith debris out
of the affected semicircular canal and back to the otolith. Canalith repositioning
maneuvers begin in the Dix-Hallpike position to provoke vertigo. Repeated head rolling
utilizes gravity to assist with movement of the debris. Treatment continues until no
further nystagmus is noted.
-Which ligament supports the position of the uterus - -The round ligament attaches to
the side of the uterus, below the uterine tube, extending to the labia majora. The
ligament functions to maintain the fundus of the uterus in a forward position.
-Describe coupled motions in the cervical spine - -In the cervical spine, lateral flexion is
accompanied by rotation to the same side
-Describe coupled motions in lumbar spine - -In the lumbar spine, lateral flexion is
accompanied by rotation to the opposite side.
-What is the primary purpose of a control group - -Serve as a baseline for controlling
the effects of the manipulated variable
-What is a type 1 error - -A Type I error is an incorrect decision to reject the null
hypothesis, concluding that a difference or relationship exists when in fact it does not. It
is not related to the use of a control group in experimental design.
-What treatment area is appropriate for a 5 minute ultrasound session - -Five minutes
would be adequate to treat an area twice the size of the soundhead and still produce the
desired thermal effects.
, Five minutes of ultrasound would be insufficient to treat an area four times the size of
the soundhead. A treatment time of 7-10 minutes would be more appropriate for this
size treatment area.
-What are the benefits of roll on silicone liners for prothesis - -The silicone liner allows
for a roll-on design that is usually less traumatic to the suture line and more effective in
controlling edema
-What are the negatives of a roll on silicone for prothesis - -Silicone liners do not
breathe as well as a fabric shrinker and as a result tend to produce a buildup of heat,
especially in warmer climates.
-What is a RER at rest, and during exercise - -VCO2/VO2 is 0.8 at rest, Calculation of
RER occurs during exercise testing with analysis of expired gases, such as the VO2 max
test. An RER of 1.1 is an indication that the person is nearing exhaustion and the limits
of aerobic capacity.
-What adjustment should be made to electromyographic biofeedback device if patient is
unable to generate anticipated level of audio and visual activity on unit. - -Adjust the
location of electrodes
-Wagner Ulcer Scale - -0. Represents preulcerative leasions, healed ulcers or prescence
of bony deformity (bunion)
1. A grade of 1 is indicative of a superficial ulcer not involving the subcutaneous tissue.
2. A grade of 2 is indicative of a deep ulcer with penetration through the subcutaneous
tissue; potentially exposing bone, tendon, ligament or joint capsule.
3. A grade of 3 is indicative of a deep ulcer with osteitis, abscess or osteomyelitis.
4. A grade of 4 is indicative of the presence of gangrene in a digit.
5. A grade of 5 represents gangrene requiring disarticulation of the foot.
