Clinical Procedure 2 Final Exam
Questions with Complete Answers
According to the covex-concave rule, when the concave surface moves on the
stationary convex surface, the glide moves in: - ANSWER-The same direction of the
bone
A PTA is working with a patient with decreased shoulder passive range of motion.
The plan of care includes the grade one mobilization, which is the most appropriate
action for the therapist to perform perform - ANSWER-A small oscillation or small
amplitude joint motion that occurs only at the beginning of the available range of
motion
What is joint play? - ANSWER-Motion within the joint as a response to an outside
force
What is not a contraindication of manual therapy - ANSWER-Pacemaker
The PTA place is both hands at the anterior superior portion of the ulna and
positions to elbow in 70° of flexion and 10° of forearm supination with the humerus,
strapped down parallel to the table, performing posterior glides, and then inferior
lead. It distracts the owner at the tissue barrier the therapist can create a progressive
oscillation. What restrictive movement does this technique address? - ANSWER-
General mobility
PT is assessing a patient after a manual therapy intervention. The patient is
positioned in sitting with the spine flexed which spinous process is most visible in this
position. - ANSWER-C7
To improve elbow and the glide of the ulna on the humerus goes - ANSWER-In the
same direction of the bone
Terminal knee extension normally results in which type of end feel - ANSWER-Hard
or springy tissue stretch
Manually apply joint mobilization should occur at what rate - ANSWER-1-3 per
second
Where do gliding and sliding occur - ANSWER-Where one portion of the articular
surface comes into contact with the series of locations on the corresponding joint
surfaces
A PTA is working with a patient with limited wrist extension, which joint mobilization
would be most effective to improve range of motion for this patient - ANSWER-
Anterior
, The patient was in prone with knees bent to 90° in the ankle and slight plantar
flexion. The therapist places the hand on the posterior part of the talus, and the other
hand around the distal tibia fibula for stabilization, the therapist distracts with the
hand of the tissue barrier, plantar flexion, and anterior glide of the talus is performed.
Which restricted movement does this technique address? - ANSWER-Plantarflexion
A patient is having difficulty relaxing enough to allow joint mobilization to be
administered, which of the following modalities would be appropriate to perform
before the joint mobilization assuming they are all on the plan of care - ANSWER-
Apply moist, heat apply ultrasound, apply TENS
To increase flexion and abduction of the hip, the practitioner will mobilized with a -
ANSWER-Posterior inferior glide
A PTA is treating a patient who was immobilize after surgery to the left knee for four
weeks. What are the consequences of this? - ANSWER-Loss of strength, articular,
adhesion, decreased muscle strength
What are the causes of joint restriction that are not the result of a capsular pattern? -
ANSWER-Ligament adhesions, internal derangments, extra-articular limitations
A PTA is treating a patient with passive range of motion and encounters, an end
feels, with a hard stretch, elastic resistance, and rising tension. What type of end
feels does this describe? - ANSWER-Springy normal tissue
Four muscles attached to the clavicle - ANSWER-Pec major, SCM, deltoid, trapezius
A PT is working with a patient with patellar tendinitis. What technique is most
appropriate? - ANSWER-Friction
To improve hip extension and external rotation, the practitioner with mobilize with -
ANSWER-Anterior glide
The patient crosses the leg over the opposite thigh, and Everetts, the foot by
grasping the calcaneus until the tissue barrier is Matt. The patient can hold tension
statically, or rock the ankle into E version by getting an increase O glide on the
calcaneus. What restricted movement does this technique address? - ANSWER-
Eversion
A PTA is performing a two handed stroke in which the lateral edges and dorsal
surface of the fingers strike the skin surface in rapid succession. Which manual
therapy technique is being performed. - ANSWER-Hacking
The patient is seated with the hip and knee flexed to 90° and a band around the mid
foot tied to the wall perpendicular to the foot. The patient allows the lower leg to
internally rotate until tissue. Barrier of tibia internal rotation is met. The patient can
move further from the wall, creating increase tension on the band is tolerated. What
type of manipulation is a therapist performing - ANSWER-Self mobilization
