NPTE – PTA: Questions With Easy-to-Follow Solutions
Brown-Sequard Syndrome Right Ans - - ipsilateral paralysis and sensory
loss
- contralateral loss of sense of pain and temperature
Normal Tidal Volume Right Ans - 500 mL
Duchene muscular dystrophy (DND) Right Ans - Lose strength
inability to walk, increased lumbar lordosis at early stage
Infection at the fracture site Right Ans - fever, increase redness,
tenderness, irritation of the fracture site
Nonunion fracture Right Ans - (bone fails to heal) = pain, heat, and
tenderness at the fracture site
Malunion Right Ans - bone heal in an abnormal position
Heterotopic ossification Right Ans - bone grows where it typically wouldnt
= progressive loss of joint motion
Dupuytren Contracture Right Ans - Thickening of the palmar fascia and
interdigital web space
- causing to flex the 4th and 5th finger
supraspinatus action Right Ans - shoulder abduction
Infraspinatus and Teres Minor Right Ans - shoulder ER
subscapularis action Right Ans - internal rotation
Rheumatoid arthritis Right Ans - A chronic systemic disease characterized
by inflammation of the joints, stiffness, pain, and swelling that results in
crippling deformities
Protection strategy for rheumatoid arthritis Right Ans - Protection strategy
for rheumatoid arthritis
,Most common hand deformities for RA Right Ans - Volar or palmar
subluxation of Ulnar drift
Osteoarthritis Right Ans - characterized by early-stage joint space
narrowing and articular cartilage erosion with late-stage osteophyte
formation and articular cartilage fissuring and eburnation
Isometric Right Ans - muscle contracts without change in length of muscle
Isokinetic Right Ans - one movement, either flexion, ext etc,
Concentric Right Ans - getting the weight up, increased tension and
shortening of a muscle
Eccentric Right Ans - controlling the weight going down, lengthening of a
muscle
Anterolateral total hip arthroplasty precautions Right Ans - No hip
extension, No ER
Posteriolateral total hip arthroplasty precautions Right Ans - No hip flexion
pass 90
No Hip adduction
No Hip IR
Adhesive Capsulitis has most limitation to what shoulder motion Right Ans
- ER > Abd > IR
Osteoporosis Right Ans - chronic progressive disease characterized by low
bone mass, impaired bone quality, decrease bone strength and enhanced risk
of fractures
Ankylosing spondylitis Right Ans - chronic inflammation of axial skeleton
and sacroiliac joint
Crouch Gait Right Ans - involves excessive flexion, adduction and IR at the
hip with anterior pelvic tilt and plantar flexion
, Vaulting Gait Right Ans - involves coming up on the toes using plantar
flexors of the unaffected side and is done in an attempt to clear a longer swing
leg, caused by weak tib A
Steppage gait Right Ans - during swing phase, gravity will cause the foot to
fall into plantar flexion. Knee must be listed higher for the foot to clear the
floor (occurs with neurological involvement of dorsiflexors)
Trendelenburg gait Right Ans - caused by weak glut medius, causing body
to lean over the weak side during stance and opposite side of the pelvis to
drop when the weak side is in stance
Equinus Gait Right Ans - (like tippy toes) - caused by dorsiflexor weakness
or hypotonia
Antibiotic Side effect Right Ans - Rash on the chest
Muscle Relaxant Side Effect Right Ans - Drowsiness and weakness
Furosemide (Lasix) Right Ans - can cause dizziness, nausea, and vertigo
Methotrexate (Trexall) Right Ans - can cause hepatoxicity and bone
marrow suppression
Insulin glargine (Lantus) Right Ans - can cause hypoglycemia
Hydrocortisone (Cortef) Right Ans - patients who are taking cortisol or
cortisol-derivatives
Panafil Right Ans - greenish tinge to the dressing is expected.
Greenish tinge with foul smell, use acetic acid.
Spina Bifida Right Ans - - congenital defects in the lumbar spinal column
caused by imperfect union of vertebral parts
- 60% of individuals have latex hypersensitivity
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Right Ans - - brittle bone disease
- fragile bones and hypermobile joints
- Passive stretching is contraindicated, may cause fracture

loss
