1. A client with a C6 spinal cord injury has tenodesis grasp.
When positioning the client in a manual wheelchair, which
hand/wrist position maximizes functional tenodesis?
a) Wrist flexion with finger extension
b) Wrist extension with finger flexion
c) Wrist neutral with finger extension
d) Wrist flexion with finger flexion
Correct Answer: b) Wrist extension with finger flexion
Rationale: Tenodesis grasp occurs when wrist extension passively
1
,pulls the finger flexor tendons, creating a pinch grip. Wrist flexion
releases the grip. The optimal position for a C6 injury (intact wrist
extension but no finger control) is to lock the wrist in extension to
allow passive finger flexion .
2. A client has a 30-degree posterior pelvic tilt while seated.
Which wheelchair seating modification is most appropriate?
a) Increase backrest recline
b) Add a firm, anterior pelvic positioning belt
c) Increase seat depth
d) Add an abductor pommel
Correct Answer: b) Add a firm, anterior pelvic positioning belt
Rationale: Posterior pelvic tilt (buttocks sliding forward, sacrum
contacting backrest, pelvis rotated backward) is corrected by an
anterior pelvic belt positioned at 45 degrees across the ASIS,
2
,pulling the pelvis posteriorly and inferiorly. Recline worsens
posterior tilt .
3. A client with bilateral hip adductor spasticity requires
positioning. Which intervention reduces adductor tone?
a) Narrow seat width
b) Abductor pommel (wedge)
c) Deep seat depth
d) Increased backrest angle
Correct Answer: b) Abductor pommel (wedge)
Rationale: An abductor pommel separates the knees and thighs,
providing sustained stretch to adductor muscles, which can reduce
spasticity through reflexive relaxation. Narrow seat width worsens
adduction .
3
, 4. A pressure mapping assessment reveals high pressure
under the ischial tuberosities. Which cushion material is most
appropriate?
a) Firm foam
b) Air flotation (alternating pressure)
c) Gel
d) Viscoelastic foam with contour cutout
Correct Answer: d) Viscoelastic foam with contour cutout
Rationale: A contoured viscoelastic (memory) foam cushion with
ischial relief cutouts offloads pressure from the ITs by redistributing
to the thighs and gluteal muscles. Alternating air is for tissue
protection in those who cannot reposition .
5. When measuring for a wheelchair seat depth, the posterior
reference point is the:
a) Back of the knee
