The patient is seen in the outpatient clinic by a physi-cal therapist. The patient performs all ofthe therapeu-tic exercise the physical therapist asks her to do and does not complain about pain or fatigueduring the treatment session. However, when the patient returns to the clinic two days later, she tells thephysical thera-pist that she was unable to get out of bed the day after the exercise due to extreme fatigue,and that she took increased amounts of pain pills due to the increased pain and needed her husband's helpwith tasks with which she is ordinarily independent. Today she feels back to normal. What should thetherapist do? Cancel today's treatment session and reschedule to next week to allow the patient to rest Modify the exercise program and ask the patient throughout the treatment session about levels of fatigue and pain Discharge the patient from physical therapy because she is too weak to continue Explain to the patient that this is normal and exercise should be maximal if it is working 2 / 15 A physical therapist evaluates a three-month-old infant. The therapist elicits the symmetrical tonic neckreflex. When the head is flexed, what does the therapist expect to see? Flexion of upper extremities and extension of lower extremities Extension of upper extremities and flexion of lower extremities Extension of upper and lower extremities Flexion of upper and lower extremities 3 / 15 Following a traumatic spinal cord injury, a patient receives physical therapy at an inpatient rehab unit.The physical therapist examines the patient and deter-mines that his C7 level is the most caudal level that isintact. What key muscle group is maintained in a C7 spinal cord injury? Wrist extensors Wrist flexors Elbow extensors Elbow flexors 4 / 15 Following a cerebrovascular accident, a patient ambu-lates with an equinus gait pattern. What is mostlikely NOT the cause of this gait deviation? Plantar flexion contracture Excess activity of the dorsiflexors Weakness of the dorsiflexors Excess activity of the plantar flexors 5 / 15 A patient with a vertebrobasilar artery infarct is alert and oriented but is unable to move or speak. He isonly able to move his eyes. What syndrome is this patient demonstrating? Locked-in syndrome Thalamic pain syndrome Homonymous hemianopia Pusher syndrome 6 / 15 Following a cerebrovascular accident, a patient receives physical therapy at a skilled nursing facility.The patient demonstrates pusher syndrome. The patient has weakness, impaired sensation, and neglect all onthe left side of her body. She is able to ambulate with a wheeled walker with moderate assistance and verbalcues. The physical therapist gives the patient a visual target to place the left foot near the front left wheel ofthe walker. This treatment intervention is focused on what problem? Left ankle weakness Hypertonicity Left leg contracture Impaired weight-shifting during gait 7 / 15 A five-year-old child with cerebral palsy receives physi-cal therapy. The physical therapist uses multipletreat-ment interventions for this child. In one treatmentsession, the therapist has the child sit on a stabilityball, weight-shift in multiple directions with unsup-ported sitting, and play catch while sitting on the floor.What treatment goal is the therapist MOST likely addressing with these treatment interventions? Increase upper extremity strength Improve seated and standing balance (D) Improve gait Improve gait Increase lower extremity strength 8 / 15 An 80-year-old patient sustains a L2 compression frac-ture. The patient begins to complain of poor sensation of the lower extremities, and her lower-extremity strength begins to deteriorate. What intervention bythe physician is MOST likely? Surgical stabilization of the vertebral fracture Prescription of pain pills Recommendation of sustained flexion position Cervical collar 9 / 15 An infant is receiving physical therapy. The physi-cal therapist notices that the infant tends to put herextremities out to try to maintain her balance after a challenge in her balance. What level of postural control is this infant demonstrating? Equilibrium reactions Righting reactions Tonic reflexes Protective reactions 10 / 15 Following a traumatic brain injury, a patient is in a coma. A physical therapy referral is made to increasethe patient's level of arousal. What treatment tech-nique could the therapist use to increase the patient's levelof arousal? Vestibular training Relaxation techniques Therapeutic positioning Sensory stimulation 11 / 15 A newborn infant demonstrates physiological flexion. What is the next normal kinesiological movementthat a physical therapist should expect the infant to develop? Rotation Antigravity extension Antigravity flexion Lateral flexion 12 / 15 Following a crushing injury to his hand, a patient complains of pain that is more severe than expected.The pain is described as burning and fluctuating. The hand is discolored and inflamed, and the knuckles arestiff. The patient complains that the pain gets worse at night. The patient is demonstrating signs and symptoms of what pathology? Myasthenia gravis Trigeminal neuralgia Huntington's disease Complex regional pain syndrome 13 / 15 A physical therapist is testing a patient's postural con-trol. The patient stands, and the physical therapistpro-vides challenges to the patient's balance. With the first challenge to balance, the patient leans posteriorand then moves her right foot to maintain balance. From Nashner's Model of Postural Control, what strategydid the patient use? Ankle strategy Hip strategy Balance strategy Stepping strategy 14 / 15 A physical therapist asks a patient to actively flex her upper extremity to full end range of motion. Uponmoving the upper extremity into this position, facilita-tion of the finger extensors and abductors is noted.The physical therapist recognizes this as Souques' phenom-enon. What type of sign is Souques'phenomenon? Deep tendon reflex (D) Spasticity Associated reaction Brain-stem reflex Spasticity 15 / 15 In what way does motor development tend to occur? Cephalic to caudal, proximal to distal, and gross to fine movements Cephalic to caudal, distal to proximal, and fine to gross movements Caudal to cephalic, proximal to distal, and gross to fine movements Cephalic to caudal, distal to proximal, and gross to fine movements Your score isThe average score is 42% LinkedIn Facebook VKontakte 0% Restart quiz
