Final Review

____________ Stability equals ____________ mobility

• Proximal, distal

• distal, proximal

• superior, inferior

• inferior, superior

All of the following would enhance an individual's functional stability except

• narrowing stance

• carrying objects closer to the body

• using a mobility device

• using appropriate footwear

an individual with hemiplegia demonstrating weakness of one side of the body would be most likely to demonstrate which of the following gait patterns

• antalgic gait

• scissor gait

• Trendelenburg gait

• circumduction gait

what type of transfer would an individual with complete paralysis of the lower extremities but good upper body strength and core stability be able to complete independently?

• stand pivot

• squat pivot

• sliding board

• dependent

posterior pelvis tilt may contribute to all but which of the following?

• decreased chest expansion for respiration

• downward orientation of the upper body and head

• elongation of the abdominals

• decreased lumbar lordosis

anterior pelvic tilt is most likely to result in the following

• tightness of the hip flexors

• tightness of the hamstrings

• downward orientation of the upper body, head, and neck

• rounding of the upper back

all of the following are general recommendations for optimal seated workstation positioning except

• maintaining 90 degree bend at the hips, knees, and elbows

• keeping the wrist extended while typing

• setting up the top monitor at eye level

• using lumbar support

The functional purpose of the patella includes all the following except

• increasing the moment arm of the quadriceps during knee extension

• providing stability during knee flexion

• remaining static with motion of the knee

• providing a protective covering

the arches of the foot provide all the following benefits to the lower extremity except

• providing shock absorption at the most inferior aspect of the lower extremity

• reducing the impact of ascending forces on the knee, hip, and spine

• stabilizing the bones of the foot

• providing active for plantar flexion of the foot and ankle

Which joint best describes the articulation between the vertebral column and the pelvis

• acetabulifemoral joint

• sacroiliac joint

• pubofemoral joint

• lumbosacral joint
