tenderness on percussion of antero-medial tibia
Homan sign (DVT) --- correct precise answer ---patient experiences
calf pain with dorsiflexion of the foot
,adductor pollicus (thumb) --- correct precise answer ---what is the
only muscle of the thenar eminence that is innervated by the ulnar
nerve?
abduction/adduction --- correct precise answer ---the ulnar nerve
roots (C8-T1) are responsible for what action of the fingers?
musculocutaneous nerve (C5-C7) --- correct precise answer ---
weakness in elbow flexion and *decreased sensation of lateral
forearm* occurs in what nerve compression?
dorsal scapular artery --- correct precise answer ---this artery
divides around the levator scapula muscle and descends along the
medial aspect of the scapula
C3-C5 --- correct precise answer ---what nerve roots is the "nerve
to levator scapula derived from"?
anterior interosseous nerve (branch of median nerve) --- correct
precise answer ---inability to make the A-OK sign due to trauma to
the mid shaft/ distal forearm is caused by a defect of which nerve?
LOAF lumbricals 1 and 2, Opponens pollicis, aBductor pollicis
brevis, flexor pollicis brevis --- correct precise answer ---What are
the muscles innervated by the median nerve in the hand?
,dorsiflexion of foot --- correct precise answer ---with this motion,
the tibia and fibula externally rotate while the talus glides
posteriorly
ACL tender point --- correct precise answer ---located on the
superior aspect of the popliteal fossa, either medial or lateral to the
hamstrings
myofascial release --- correct precise answer ---passive technique
that is either direct or indirect, can be used for plantar fasciitis
pain
on the spinous process of the segment above --- correct precise
answer ---the midline tender points of the posterior cervical
counterstain points are located...
glides posteriorly --- correct precise answer ---as the lateral
malleolus moves anterior and the foot inverts and plantar flexes,
what happens to the Proximal fibula head?
glides anteriorly --- correct precise answer ---the foot everts and
dorsiflexes (supination), what happens to the proximal fibula?
, inominate inflares --- correct precise answer ---associated with a
medially displaced ASIS and ipsilateral anterior inominate rotations
inominate out flares --- correct precise answer ---associated with a
laterally displaced ASIS and ipsilateral posterior nominate rotations
Type 1 --- correct precise answer ---forward sacral torsions have L5
dysfunctions that are what type of freyette rule?
Type 2 --- correct precise answer ---backward sacral torsions have
L5 dysfunctions that are what type of freyette rule?
1. When L5 is sidebent, a sacral oblique axis is engaged on the
SAME side as the side bending
2. When L5 is rotated, the sacrum rotates the opposite way on the
oblique axis
3. the seated flexion test is found on the opposite side of the oblique
axis --- correct precise answer ---what are the rules of L5 on the
sacrum?
a plane is the direction in which the motion is occurring while the
axis is the fixed structure around which the plane of motion occurs
--- correct precise answer ---what is the difference between a plane
and an axis in regards to motion?
