Trunk extension includes the following muscles except: Interspinales Erector spinae Rectus abdominis Semispinalis thoracis 2 / 20The ankle and the foot are complex structures that work together during gait to provide balance as the body walks over an uneven ground. The ankle joint is responsible for thefollowing:I. Lateral adjustmentsII. StabilityIII. Forward motionIV. Medial adjustments I, IV II, III I, II, III I, III, IV 3 / 20A patient is referred to the clinic for a cardiac rehabilitation program. The history of the patient reveals a diagnosis of myocardial infarction, involving the left coronary artery. This artery divides into two major arteries: the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery. The left descending artery supplies which of the following: Lateral surfaces of the left ventricle. Sinoatrial nodes. Anterior ventricular wall. Right atrium. 4 / 20A physical therapist asks a female patient suspected of S1 nerve root compression to try walking on her toes. This test aims to check formuscle weakness. Walking on toes aims to tests which of the following muscles of the lower extremity ? Flexor digitorum longus Sartorius Semimembranosus Flexor digitorum brevis 5 / 20A patient who has had a stroke is assessed by the physical therapist before starting a course of physical therapy. On assessment, the patient demonstrates contralateral weakness, contralateral sensory loss of the toes, foot and leg, and inability to make decisions. Urinary incontinence is also noted. The artery that was most likely affected is : Internal carotid artery Vertebral artery Anterior cerebral artery Middle cerebral artery 6 / 20A single nerve root can supply more than one peripheral nerve. Because of this, if pressure is applied to one nerve root, the distribution of sensation or motor function is exhibited in more than one peripheral nerve distribution. If the L5 is compressed, which of the following is most likely reported by the patient ? Low back pain that radiates to the upper buttock, to the back of the thigh, and to the back of the leg Medial knee pain Hyposthesias in front of the thigh Hyposthesias in the fifth and lateral half of the fourth toes 7 / 20Assessment of a 3-month-old child reveals a palpable clunk when the left hip is reduced in and out of the acetabulum. The child is suspected of developmental dysplasia of the hip with subluxation. Which of the following statements most accurately describes a subluxation ? It refers to antenatal dislocation of the hip. It describes the ability to subluxate the hip with passive movements It involves incomplete contact between the articular surface of the femoral head and the acetabulum It refers to complete absence of contact between the articular surface of the femoral head and acetabulum 8 / 20The cerebral cortex, the outer gray layer of the brain, is mainly responsible for conscious activities of the cerebrum. The cerebral cortex consists of four lobes. The Wernicke’s area for sensory and speech is located in which lobe ? Frontal Occipital Parietal Temporal 9 / 20There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves that branch off from the spinal cord. In the cervical region, the spinal nerves exit ___(1)__ the vertebra. In the thoracic region, the spinal nerves exit ___(2)___ the vertebra. In the lumbar region, the spinal nerves exit ___(3)___ the vertebra. 1- above; 2- above; 3- above 1- above; 2- below; 3- above 1- above; 2- below; 3- below 1- below; 2- above; 3- above 10 / 20The pain distribution of trigeminal neuralgia follows the sensory distribution of the fifth cranial nerve, which typically radiates to the maxillary branch. The maxillary branch is one of the fifth cranial nerve’s three branches. This branch supplies sensation to which area of the head ? Front of the head Lower jaw Bottom lip Side of the nose 11 / 20A football player who complains of burning pain in the supraclavicular area that radiates down to the arm is diagnosed with Grade II peripheral nerve injury. Grade II is classified as axonotmesis. Which of the following accurately describes axonotmesis ? It involves axonal damage and Wallerian degeneration; the Schwann sheath is intact. It involves nerve function disruption due to demyelinization; the axonal integrity is intact. It involves axonal and Schwann sheath damage; the nerve damage is permanent. It involves disruption of nerve function without axonal damage; remyelinization occurs within 3 weeks. 12 / 20patient demonstrates loss of muscle strength in all four extremities due to a spinal cord injury. Which of the following is accurately derived from the finding ? The injury in the spinal cord involves the first lumbar segment. The patient’s abdominal muscle strength is intact. The injury involves a segment below the first thoracic spinal nerve. The injury involves one of the cervical spinal nerves. 13 / 20A 25-year-old female gave birth to a male newborn with talipes equinovarus involving the right foot. In most cases of clubfoot deformities, which of the following is most commonly involved ? Toes Foot instep Ankle Lateral mallelolus 14 / 20The brainstem consists of three areas: midbrain, medulla oblongata, and pons. The medulla oblongata is composed of all afferent and efferent tracts. It is also the center for various physiological mechanisms. The following are controlled by the medulla oblongata except : Blood vessel diameter Breathing Visual reflex Swallowing 15 / 20The following muscles in the lower allow adduction of the hip joint except : Adductor magnus Pectineus Gluteus medius Gracilis 16 / 20Movements during ambulation are the result of several factors, including those produced by the muscles. Muscles are essential for acceleration, deceleration, and shock absorption. Which of the following is true about the muscles involved with gait kinetics ? Acceleration is the result of the muscle’s eccentric activity. The greatest amount of muscle activity is required during the first 10% of the stance phase and last 10% of the swing phase. The times of least muscle activity are during periods of acceleration and deceleration. Locomotion requires continuous muscle activity as it involves movements from one location to another. 17 / 20The obturator nerve, the largest nerve formed from the anterior divisions of the lumbar plexus, provides sensory innervation to the skin and fascia over the distal 2/3 of the thigh. This peripheral nerve is derived from the following nerve roots except : L4 L3 L2 L1 18 / 20The anterior deltoid originates from the lateral margin and superior surface of the acromion. It inserts into the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus. Which of the following is the correct action of the anterior deltoid ? It medially rotates, adducts and extends the glenohumeral joint. It stabilizes the head of the humerus in the glenoid fossa. It flexes the shoulder joint. It flexes the glenohumeral joint and rotates the spine medially. 19 / 20The mechanism of recovery after a stroke comes in two stages. The first stage of recovery occurs within the first three to six months. The second stage occurs after this time period. Which of the following changes are expected within the first three to six months after a stroke ? Development of new synaptic connections. Neuronal network changes. Recovery of partially injured neurons. Exposure of previously latent functional pathways. 20 / 20A patient who complains of fatigue, difficulty swallowing, and weakness is diagnosed with myasthenia gravis. The physical therapist, who is teaching the patient with various conservation methods, understands that this condition is most likely caused by which of the following ? Insufficient secretion of acetylcholine Insufficient dopamine levels. Demyelinization of the neurons. Inflammation of the arachnoid and pia mater of the central nervous system.
