Pertaining to Birth

Natal refers to pertaining to birth.

High Blood Pressure

Hypertension is the medical term for higher than normal blood pressure.

Speech Loss

Phasia means speech loss.

Treatment Session Focus

Treatment sessions should focus only on current symptoms.

Straight Leg Test Error

Incorrect. The pivot point for measuring straight leg test is crista iliaca, not the anterior superior iliac spine.

Muscle Group Shortening/Lengthening

An individual with increased lumbar lordosis will have shortening of the lumbar extensor/gluteal muscle groups and increased lengthening of the opposing muscle group.

Passive Normal Joint Movement

Removing contractures is a goal of passive normal movement.

MG Biofeedback Therapy

Providing relaxation in the antagonist muscle in spasticity is not a use of MG Biofeedback therapy.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation

Facilitation of involuntary motor function is not an effect of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation.

Pes Planovalgus Orthoses

Supporting elements for pes planovalgus orthoses include medial longitudinal arch support, internal heel wedge, and Thomas heel application.

Postoperative Amputee Rehabilitation

Prosthesis application and removal are elements of postoperative amputee rehabilitation.

Anthropometric Measurements

Forearm length measurement, with the shoulders and arms relaxed, and the elbow flexed, the distance between the acromion and olecranon is measured.

Hip Muscle Strength Measurements

The tensor fascia lata 2 value muscle test is not done in the supine position.

Mobilization Techniques

Glide movements are performed after the joint is slightly tractioned.

Trunk Extension-Flexion Goniometric Measurements

The pivot point for trunk extension-flexion is the crista iliaca, not the anterior superior iliac spine.

Pain Transmission

Sensory neurons responsible for pain transmission are A delta and C fibers (small diameter), not A alpha and beta fibers (large diameter).

Resistance Exercise Application

Resistance should be applied close to the muscle being worked, not proximal.

Upper Extremity Muscle Strength Assessment

The patient should be in a prone position when evaluating shoulder internal rotation.

Knee Joint Muscle Strength Measurements

Knee flexion 3-4-5 muscle test values should be evaluated in the supine position.

Swan Neck Deformity

Swan neck deformity is characterized by hyperextension of the PIP joint, not flexion.

Isometric Exercises

Isometric exercises involve muscle contraction without changing length or shortening.

Standard Posture

Thoracic vertebrae are in a concave, not convex, position towards the anterior.

Seddon Classification

Temporary cessation of nerve conduction, without nerve degeneration and with Schwann cells and myelin sheath present is termed neuropraxia.

Brain Damage in CP

Brain damage in Cerebral Palsy is not considered progressive.

Hip Joint Flexion Measurement

The pivot point for hip flexion measurement is the anterior superior iliac spine.

Inflammatory Reaction Events

Increasing intercapillary pressure and increasing capillary blood flow are the correct order.

Tendon Ruptures

Grade I tendon ruptures do not lead to strength loss.

Tendinopathy Injury Risk

Eccentric exercises are specifically designed to reduce the risk of re-injury in tendinopathies.

Arthroplasty Complications

Deep vein thrombosis and gluteus medius atrophy are possible hip arthroplasty complications.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Rehabilitation

Vastus lateralis strengthening is important in patellofemoral pain rehabilitation.

Patellar Tendinitis

Isometric exercises of the lower extremity are not the most important preventive exercises for patellar tendinitis.

Physiotherapy Ice Application

Ice application is an important part of initial phase physiotherapy. Physiotherapists should stand opposite the patient's diagonal.

All listed options are true about Brunnstrom Stage 2.

Asymmetric Tonic Neck Reflex

Extremities on the chin side go into extension, while the opposite (occipital side) goes into flexion with asymmetric tonic neck reflex.

Todd Davies Method

The bilateral and symmetrical approach is the key principle of the Todd Davies method.

Osteoporosis Exercise Program

Warming-up and cool-down exercises should be included in an exercise program for osteoporosis patients.

Fall Risk Assessment

The timed get-up and go test is used to assess balance and fall risk.

Aerobic Exercise Risks in Older Adults

Skeletal muscle ischemia is one of the potential musculoskeletal risk factors associated with inappropriate aerobic exercise.
