Orthoses Quiz. Fracture Bracing Quiz.
Spinal bracing helps to control back pain by all of these, except:
Limiting motion, Unloading discs, Allowing free vertebral motion, or Unloading
vertebrae? - ANS-Allowing free vertebral motion (includes: Limiting motion, Unloading
discs & vertebrae)
These are used to de-weight spinal structures by increasing abdominal compression:
Corsets, Cervical Orthoses (CO), Cervicothoracic Orthoses (CTO), or Sacroiliac
Orthoses (SIO)? - ANS-Corsets
Thermoplastic panels added to a corset:
Enhance M/L control, Enhance A/P control, Decrease M/L control, or Decrease A/P
control? - ANS-Enhance A/P control
T/F. Static Orthoses allows restricted ROM against resistance at a fixed angle? -
ANS-False. Dynamic orthosis allows ....Static orthosis holds the body segment in a fixed
position that is minimally adjustable.
These orthoses usually offer additional immobilization for the thumb area. They are
indicated for soft tissue injuries, gamekeeper injuries, collateral ligament support &
avulsion fractures of the thumb:
Thumb Spica, Wrist-Hand-Finger Orthosis, Wrist-Hand Orthosis, or Wrist-Hand
Cock-Up Splint? - ANS-Thumb Spica
Classic way to splint the hand after a stroke w/ thumb in full opposition, wrist in
DORSIFLEXION, & MP joints flexed: Thumb Spica, Wrist-Hand-Finger Orthosis,
Wrist-Hand Orthosis, or Wrist-Hand Cock-Up Splint? - ANS-Wrist-Hand Cock-Up Splint
A Shoulder Orthosis provides ___ pressure on the forearm/elbow:
Downward, Upward, Lateral, or No? - ANS-Upward
This brace is effective following Rotator Cuff Repair, involved humeral fractures, &
post-op shoulder/arm sx where shoulder position & elbow flection control are desired:
Airplane Splint, Shoulder Orthosis, Elbow Orthosis, or Gunslinger Splint? -
ANS-Airplane Splint
