A patient sustained a fracture to the left proximal humerus, which is now healed. The left scapula now protracts, elevates early, and moves excessively with shoulder flexion. Which of the following physical therapy interventions should be emphasized? 1. stretching of scapular stabilizers and strengthening of the pectoralis major and minor muscles 2. scapulothoracic mobilization and strengthening of the pectoralis major and minor muscles 3. glenohumeral mobilization and strengthening of scapular stabilizer muscles 4. glenohumeral mobilization and strengthening of the rotator cuff musclesCorrect Answer 3. glenohumeral mobilization and strengthening of scapular stabilizer muscles A physical therapist assistant is supervising the exercise of a cardiac rehab outpatient class on a very hot day, with temperatures expected to be above 90 deg. The class is scheduled for 2pm and the facility is not air conditioned. What is the BEST strategy? 1. decrease the exercise intensity by slowing the pace of exercise 2. increase the warm-up period to equal the total aerobic interval in time 3. continue with planned intensity for exercise class and encourage participants to drink more water 4. shift to intermittent exercise but decrease the rest timeCorrect Answer 1. decrease the exercise intensity by slowing the pace of exercise A patient with a transtibial amputation has recently been fitted with a patellar tendon-bearing (PTB) socket. Following gait training, the patient removes the prothesis. If the prothesis is fitted correctly, which area should the physical therapist assistant NOT expect to find skin redness? 1. anterior tibia and tibial crest 2. patellar tendon and tibial tuberosity 3. medial tibial and fibular plateaus 4. medial and lateral distal ends of the residual limbCorrect Answer 1. anterior tibia and tibial crest The plan of care indicates ultrasound treatment for a muscle spasm of the piriformis. The piriformis is compressing the sciatic nerve and producing pain in the posterior hip region. The pain has been worsening over the past 3 months. What is the MOST beneficial ultrasound setting for this case? 1. 3MHz continuous at 1.0 w/cm2 2. 3MHz pulsed at 1.0 w/cm2 3. 1MHz pulsed at 1.
