The classification is mainly based on the amount of joint movement that each orthosis allows. Which of the following is not correct about static orthoses ? a) Static orthoses do not allow joint movements b) They are mainly ordered for patients with weakened muscles. c) They function as rigid supports in fractures. d) They are used for promoting eventual joint movement. 3 / 203) Because of its ability to treat or relieve pain efficiently with minimal side effects, a variety of newer transcutaneous electrical stimulation modalities have emerged. Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation or PENS is one of these. Which of the following accurately describes this modality ? a) It is based on summation of two alternating current signals that come in slightly different frequencies. b) When the signals are in phase, they summate to an amplitude sufficient to cause stimulation. c) It uses two, four, or six applicators, delivering higher currents than TENS. d) It uses acupuncture-like needle probes to deliver electrical stimuli at the precise level. 4 / 204) An infant is diagnosed with correctible talipes equinovarus involving the right foot. The physical therapist expects the following corrective interventions for the patient except : a) Manipulation b) Casting c) Splintage d) Cincinnati incision 5 / 205) A patient sustained full-thickness in the left anterior arm, including the anterior and posterior axillary regions. An orthosis is ordered to the patient to be worn before and after skin grafting. Which of the following orthoses is the most appropriate for the patient ? a) Figure-8 harness b) Overhead sling suspension c) Airplane splint d) Balanced forearm orthosis 6 / 206) A male elderly who had a recent total knee replacement is ordered an assistive device that aims to help him with his balance and walking. Which of the following ambulatory assistive devices can give the patient the most stability ? a) Quad cane b) Walker, standard c) Forearm crutches d) Knee-support crutches 7 / 207) Therapeutic methods of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation application can use one of the three options of standard settings. Which of the following standard settings is the most appropriate for conventional TENS ? a) High-frequency stimulus from 40 to 150 Hz, at low stimulus intensity with the current set from 10 to 30 Hz. b) Low-frequency stimulus from 1 to 10 Hz, at high intensity stimulus. c) High-frequency bursts, at low intensity stimulus; the frequency of impulses within each burst is 100 Hz d) Low-frequency stimulus at low intensity stimulus. 8 / 208) Proper crutch fitting is essential as it facilitates proper healing, promotes stability when walking, and prevents complications and injuries. The following actions ensure proper crutch fitting except : a) The lengths of the crutches are adjusted, ensuring 1 to 2 inches of space between the axillae and the top of the axillary pads when standing. b) The hand grip is adjusted, allowing the elbow to flex to about 30-degrees when the patient is standing up straight. c) The handgrips of the crutches are even with the top of the hip line. d) Ensure that the patient does not lift himself/herself when pushing down and extending the arms. 9 / 209) The modalities of deep heating convert energy into heat as it goes through body tissues. Electromagnetic radiation, highfrequency sound and high-frequency currents are some of the energy sources used. Which of the following heating modalities is considered as the best method for large-area deep heating ? a) Microwave diathermy b) Hydrotherapy c) Ultrasonography d) Shortwave diathermy 10 / 2010) Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is one of the most commonly used forms of electroanalgesia. Which of the following therapeutic methods of TENS is the most recommended for acupuncture-like settings ? a) High-stimulation frequency and low-intensity, just above the threshold; current is set between 10 and 30 mA. b) Low-stimulation frequency and high-stimulus intensity, close to the tolerance level of the patient. c) Low-intensity stimuli firing in high-frequency bursts. d) Frequency of each burst is 1 to 2 Hz and the frequency of impulses with each burst is 100 Hz. 11 / 2011) A patient is ordered to ambulate with assistance using a pair of crutches. The physical therapist instructs the patient to move the right crutch ahead, and then move the left foot forward at about the level of the right crutch. The next instruction is to move the left crutch forward. The right foot is moved forward last. Which of the following is accurately derived from the instructed gait sequence ? a) This gait sequence is the least stable crutch gait pattern. b) This gait sequence involves some weight bearing on both legs. c) This gait sequence is contraindicated in patients with ataxia. d) This gait sequence necessitates good trunk balance and good strength in the upper limbs. 12 / 2012) Superficial heating modalities are usually used to increase cutaneous blood flow and to provide cooling reactions as they remove the heat that is applied externally. A physical therapist uses a superficial heating modality that involves conversion of one energy form into another. Which of the following heating modalities is most likely used ?I. FluidotherapyII. Paraffin bathIII. Heat lampIV. Radiant light a) I and II b) II and III c) III and IV d) I, III, IV 13 / 2013) A physical therapist is observing a patient who is walking with crutches. The patient advances both crutches forward, and then swings both legs past the crutches at the same time. Based on the sequence, the patient is demonstrating which crutch gait ? a) Two-point crutch gait b) Swing-to crutch gait c) Swing-through crutch gait d) Tripod crutch gait 14 / 2014) Upper-limb orthoses are classified according to their function. Which of the following upper-limb orthoses augments prehension with more proximal joint movements ? a) Assistive b) Substitutive c) Protective d) Corrective 15 / 2015) A 30-year-old female patient with chronic lower back pain secondary to lumbar spinal stenosis is ordered to be placed on lumbar traction. Which of the following actions by the physical therapist demonstrates the correct technique of applying this type of traction ? a) The patient is placed in seated or supine position. b) The pelvic belt is hooked around the patient; the top edge is around the iliac crest. c) The thoracic belt is hooked around the patient; the inferior margin is slightly above the lower ribs. d) A force ¼ to ½ of the patient’s lower extremity is initially placed. 16 / 2016) Which of the following is considered as the most effective orthosis for use in controlling rotation and lateral bending at C1-C3 ? a) Sternal-occipital-mandibular orthosis b) Halo device c) Philadelphia collar d) 4-poster brace 17 / 2017) Superficial heating modalities use the subcutaneous fat tissue to act as a thermal insulator and inhibit the heat transfer. Heat transfer is classified into three types: conduction, convection, and conversion. If a physical therapist decides to use a modality that uses the convection mechanism of heat exchange, which of the following is most likely considered ? a) Electric heating pad b) Whirl pool c) Warm compresses d) Ultrasound 18 / 2018) The healing process is subtly or significantly influenced by external factors, which include various treatment modalities.
