Kines Final Review

Which carpal bone is most commonly fractured in wrist injuries?

• Lunate

• Triquetrum

• Scaphoid

• Hamate

The capitate bone serves as the axis for which wrist motion?

• Flexion and extension

• Circumduction

• Radial and ulnar deviation

• Pronation and supination

De Quervain’s tenosynovitis primarily affects tendons on which part of the wrist?

• Ulnar side

• Dorsal side

• Radial side

• Volar side

This structure primarily prevents excessive PIP hyperextension

• lateral bands

• volar plate

• flexor digitorum superficialis

• oblique retinacular ligament

The primary function of the muscles of the thenar eminence is (are) to

• curl the ulnar border of the hand such as with cupping

• position the thumb in varying amounts of opposition to facilitate grasping

• extend the thumb & ulnarly deviate the wrist

• flex the MCP joints of finger 2-5

An anterior pelvic tilt is naturally accompanied by

• increased lordosis of the lumbar spine

• decreased lordosis of the lumbar spine

• strong activation of the abdominal muscles

• maximal elongation of the hip flexors

Which pinch pattern is generally used to hold a pencil properly?

• 2-point, pad to pad pinch

• Tripod

• lateral pinch

• 2-point, tip-to-tip pinch

All of the following describe optimal sitting posture, EXCEPT...

• Neutral hip rotation (no internal or external rotation)

• The knees should be higher than the hips

• The head is in midline with eyes facing forward

• Feet flat on the floor

A client with scoliosis reports difficulty maintaining balance during functional tasks. Which of the following postural compensations is MOST likely affecting stability?

• Increased thoracic kyphosis

• Lateral spinal curvature with pelvic obliquity

• Anterior pelvic tilt with excessive lumbar lordosis

• Forward head posture with rounded shoulders

During a postural assessment, an OT observes that a client’s ASIS is higher than their PSIS. This finding is MOST indicative of:

• Anterior pelvic tilt

• Posterior pelvic tilt

• Pelvic obliquity

• Scoliosis
