effusion.

tenosynovitis.

atrophy.

spasticity.

A tingling sensation radiating from the wrist to the hand on striking the median nerve is a positive _____ sign.

Phalen

Gower

Homan

Tinel

Allis

Your examination of an infant reveals a positive Allis sign. To confirm this finding, you would perform a:

startle reflex.

Barlow-Ortolanimaneuver.

Trendelenburg test.

tibial torsion test.

Lachman test.

A goniometer is used to assess:

bone maturity.

joint proportions.

range of motion.

muscle strength.

body fat.

The musculoskeletal examination should begin when:

the patient enters the examination room.

during the collection of subjective data.

when height is measured.

when joint mobility is assessed.

the remainder of the physical examination is completed.

The strength of the trapezius muscle is evaluated by having the patient:

clench her teeth during muscle palpation.

push her head against the examiner s hand.

straighten her leg with examiner opposition.

uncross her legs with examiner resistance.

adduct the arm.

Inquiry about nocturnal muscle spasms would be most significant when taking the musculoskeletal history of:

adolescents.

infants.

older adults.

middle adulthood.

children.

Expected normal findings during inspection of spinal alignment include:

asymmetrical skinfolds at the neck.

slight right-sided scapular elevation.

convex lumbar curve.

head positioned superiorly to the gluteal cleft.

convex cervical curve.

Light skin and thin body habitus are risk factors for:

rheumatoid arthritis.

osteoarthritis.

congenital bony defects.

osteoporosis.

sports-related injuries.

The dowager hump is:

the hallmark of osteoporosis.

pathognomic of scoliosis.

indicative of tendonitis.

characteristic of rickets.

indicative of muscular dystrophy.

Arm length is measured from the acromion process through the:

olecranon joint to carpal thumb hinge.

olecranon process to distal ulnar prominence.

proximal radial prominence to distal joint.

proximal ulnar joint to middle fingertip.

olecranon process to the second fingertip.

Pain, disease of the muscle, or damage to the motor neuron may all cause:

bony hypertrophy.

muscle crepitus.

muscle hypertrophy.

muscle wasting.

claudication.

What technique is performed at every infant examination during the first year of life to detect hip dislocation?

Ballottement maneuvers

Barlow-Ortolani maneuvers

Range of motion

Thomas McMurray assessment

Trendelenburg test

Term infants normally resist:

ankle dorsiflexion.

McMurray test.

forefoot adduction.

knee extension.

elbow flexion.

A finding that is indicative of osteoarthritis is:

swan neck deformities.

Bouchard nodes.

ganglion cysts

Heberden nodes.

spindle-shaped fingers.

A 3-year-old is brought to the clinic complaining of a painful right elbow. He is holding the right arm slightly flexed and pronated and refuses to move it. The mother states that symptoms started right after his older brother had been swinging him around by his arms. This presentation supports a diagnosis of:

radial head subluxation.

femoralanteversion.

carpal tunnel syndrome.

Osgood-Schlatter disease.

osteomyelitis.

Anterior cruciate ligament integrity is assessed via the _____ test.

Lachman

straight leg raise

valgus stress

Homan

Thomas

A 7-year-old boy is brought into your office with a chief complaint of possible fracture in his left third finger. He jammed it while playing basketball 2 days ago. The mother states that she really does not think it is broken because he can move it. What is your best response?

Yes, if he can wiggle the finger, then it is not broken.

 This is a common misconception, and the finger may be broken. An x-ray is indicated.

No x-ray is indicated at this time because there is a waiting period of 3 days before we can take x-rays.

Finger x-rays are never indicated.

A patient presenting for the first time with typical low back pain should receive which of the following diagnostic tests?

Lumbar x-ray

CT of the lumbar spine

MRI of the lumbar spine

None of the above. X-ray is not indicated because lumbar pain is usually of musculoskeletal etiology.
