CMTO - MCQ Exam Questions and Answers 2023

1. Name 3 things that can limit joint ROM: Abnormal muscle length, restricted joint capsule, abnormal joint shape/surfaces (fascial restrictions too) 2. Name 3 things that would cause hypermobility in a joint: Long/weak muscles crossing the joint, injury to ligaments causing instability, LMN lesion causing muscle atrophy or flaccidity in muscle/joint tissue 3. Name 4 types of ROM: Active, Passive, Resisted, Active Assisted 4. what type of muscle contraction is occuring when the length of the muscle stays the same throughout the contraction?: isometric 5. Explain a concentric muscle contracton: The muscle fibers are shortening during a concentric contraction 6. What type of contraction involves muscle lengthening?: eccentric 7. Define Arthrokinematics: Joint motion. The motion of each bone that makes up a joint. 8. Name 3 Fibrous joint types: Suture (skull), Syndesmosis (distal tib/fib), Gom- phosis (teeth) 9. Name 2 Cartilaginous joint types: Synchondrosis (growth plates, 1st rib/manubrium), symphysis (pubic bones) 10. How many types of synovial joints are there?: 6 11. Name all types of synovial joints: 1. plane 2. hinge 3. pivot 4. condyloid 5. saddle 6. ball and socket 12. In the concave convex rule, if the moving bone is convex, which direction is the glide/slide? (same or opposite): opposite 13. If the bone that is moving is concave, the direction of slide/glide is the . (same/opposite).: same 14. What type of joint separation is occuring when we are pulling the bones apart at a right angle?: distraction 15. What is long axis traction?: Long axis traction occurs when joint surfaces are being pulled away from one another in the longitudinal plane. For example - if the humerus is placed at your side, and a longitudinal traction is placed on it, this would also be considered an inferior glide of the shoulder. 16. Indications for the use of joint mobs include:: pain, muscle guarding, joint effusion, contractures/adhesions in the joint capsule or surrounding ligaments, abnormal joint motion 17. What is the term commonly used when normally stretchy and elastic-like tissue is replaced by inelastic fiber-like tissue, making normal movement difficult?: contracture 18. These techniques are directed towards restricted capsular tissue in an effort to restore normal joint mechanics: mobilizations. 19. Are RMTs allowed to perform joint manipulations involving thrust tech- niques?: No (although sometimes mobilization and manipulation are used inter- changeably in the language) 20. What is another name for physiological movement: Osteokinematics (volun- tary movement) 21. The following bones are convex: humerus, femur, anterior ribs. True or False?: True
