Post-Course Test Videos
This page only provides the videos and related questions / choices. You will need to make your answer selection(s) in the post-course test page. You will not be able to choose your answers here.
Question 17
Watch the video of a female patient performing forward bending. Choose all statements that accurately describe the final position. Select multiple statements to get full credit.
- She has excessive hip flexion.
- The lower lumbar segment has not reversed its curvature.
- She keeps her cervical spine extended.
- The position suggests that the lumbar extensors are relatively stiffer than the hip extensors.
Question 18
Watch the video of a female patient return from forward bending. Choose all statements that accurately describe how she performs this movement. Select multiple statements to get full credit.
- She initiates the motion with lumbar extension.
- She initiates the motion with hip extension.
- She returns to the ideal upright alignment at the end of return from forward bend.
- She goes into swayback alignment with continued lumbar extension at end range.
Question 19
Watch the video of a female patient perform supine hip abduction with lateral rotation from hip flexed position. Focus on the performance of the left lower extremity. What potential movement system syndrome would be supported by the result of this movement test?
- Lumbar flexion syndrome
- Lumbar extension syndrome
- Lumbar rotation syndrome
Question 20
Watch the video of a female patient walking naturally around her apartment. What fault do you observe?
- Excessive pelvic lateral tilt, contributing to lumbar flexion syndrome
- Excessive pelvic lateral tilt and remaining in pelvic anterior tilt, contributing to lumbar rotation-extension syndrome
- Excessive pelvic lateral tilt, contributing to lumbar extension syndrome
