Rehab Quiz

  1. Which is TRUE? Coordination of micturition involves
    1. The sacral micturition centre in which the afferent parasympathetic impulses provide feedback on bladder fullness
    2. The brainstem that coordinates contraction of the bladder with relaxation of the sphincter
    3. The cerebral cortex that prevents incontinence of urine during forceful activities such as coughing
    4. The pontine centre that exerts the final control to initiate or delay voiding
  2. Regarding CRP, which of the following statements is not correct?
    1. Increased in any inflammation due to trauma, infection, malignancies, etc
    2. In SLE elevated CRP suggests infection or serositis
    3. It follows rise and fall in ESR
    4. It is markedly elevated in Still's disease
  3. Normal cross section of median nerve in CTS by USG at wrist crease is
    1. 9‒11 mm
    2. 11‒13 mm
    3. 13‒15 mm
    4. 15‒19 mm
  4. What is the Stimson technique?
    1. A provocative maneuver to test for glenohumeral instability
    2. Gravity-assisted technique to reduce an anterior shoulder dislocation
    3. A two-person technique to reduce an anterior shoulder dislocation, using a sheet under the axilla by one person and manual traction by the other person
    4. A test for inferior shoulder laxity
  5. Electrodiagnostic findings common in myopathies include:
    1. Low amplitude sensory nerve action potentials (SNAP)
    2. Long duration motor units
    3. Abnormal spontaneous potentials (denervation) on needle EMG
    4. Increased fi ring frequency of motor units
  6. A patient with a brainstem lesion is likely to experience all of the following except:
    1. Poor anterior-posterior transport of a food/liquid bolus
    2. Decreased masseter tension
    3. Wet hoarseness
    4. Rigidity
  7. Which of the following is considered a poor prognostic factor in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)?
    1. Predominance of upper motor neuron (UMN) findings at diagnosis
    2. Long period from symptom onset to diagnosis
    3. Younger age of onset
    4. Pulmonary dysfunction early in the clinical course
  8. The first line of treatment for bothersome phantom limb sensation, phantom limb pain and residual limb pain is:
    1. Desensitization techniques
    2. Pharmacologic techniques
    3. Biofeedback techniques
    4. Use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit
  9. Which statement is TRUE regarding urinary tract infection (UTI) in individuals with spinal cord injury?
    1. The NIDRR consensus definition of UTI requires the presence of significant bacteriuria, pyuria or signs and symptoms
    2. The presenting symptoms can be that of autonomic dysreflexia
    3. Asymptomatic bacteriuria in patients performing intermittent catheterization should be treated
    4. Urine for urinalysis and culture should be collected from the collecting device just prior to changing the catheter
