Question 1

The shoulder spica wrapping technique is used to:

Accepted Answer

The shoulder spica wrapping technique is used to anchor off-the-shelf and custom-made pads.

Question 2

When properly applied, the figure-of-eight wrap serves to:

Accepted Answer

The figure-of-eight wrap is designed to support the shoulder area by pulling the shoulders back, which results in the retraction of the scapulae. This is often used to correct or support posture and prevent slouching.

Question 3

The 4 S wrapping technique stands for:

Accepted Answer

The 4 S wrapping technique includes spica, sling, swathe, and support, which are methods used to immobilize and support injuries, particularly in the limbs and joints.

Question 4

Off-the-shelf and custom-made shoulder stabilizers are commonly used to lessen glenohumeral joint:

Accepted Answer

Off-the-shelf and custom-made shoulder stabilizers are commonly used to lessen glenohumeral joint abduction and external rotation. These movements are often restricted to prevent dislocation or subluxation of the shoulder, especially after injuries or surgeries.

Question 5

Based on the evidence in the literature, the use of shoulder stabilizer braces to prevent the recurrence of shoulder instability:

Accepted Answer

The effectiveness of shoulder stabilizer braces in preventing the recurrence of shoulder instability is unclear due to mixed results and a lack of high-quality evidence in the literature.

Question 6

Most sling designs are available in predetermined sizes based on the measurement from the:

Accepted Answer

The measurement from the olecranon process to the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint is commonly used to determine the size of a sling. This measurement ensures that the sling properly supports the arm by accommodating its length from the elbow to the hand.

Question 7

Off-the-shelf and custom-made acromioclavicular joint padding techniques protect the joint from:

Accepted Answer

Acromioclavicular joint padding is specifically designed to protect the joint from direct or repetitive forces to the acromion, which is part of the shoulder complex. This type of padding does not specifically protect against falls on the outstretched arm, overhead activities, or falls on the flexed elbow, which involve different mechanisms of injury.

Question 8

When the shoulder pointer/acromioclavicular joint sprain tape technique is applied, tape strips are anchored to the skin without tension or stretch to:

Accepted Answer

The answer of When the shoulder pointer/acromioclavicular joint sprain tape...

Question 9

The immobilizer is used primarily to immobilize the shoulder:

Accepted Answer

The immobilizer is primarily used to immobilize the shoulder in varying degrees of abduction to facilitate healing and prevent further injury.

Question 10

A contusion to the distal end of the clavicle is referred to as a:

Accepted Answer

A contusion to the distal end of the clavicle is referred to as a "shoulder pointer." This injury involves a direct blow to the shoulder, causing pain and swelling at the end of the clavicle.

Question 11

The majority of glenohumeral joint dislocations are:

Accepted Answer

The majority of glenohumeral joint dislocations are anterior, accounting for about 95% of all shoulder dislocations. This is often due to the arm being forcefully twisted or extended.

Question 12

Excessive adduction and internal rotation of the humerus can cause:

Accepted Answer

Excessive adduction and internal rotation of the humerus can lead to a posterior glenohumeral joint dislocation, as these movements push the humeral head backward out of the glenoid cavity.

Question 13

According to the evidence, the effects of internal rotation or external rotation immobilization of the shoulder after first time anterior glenohumeral dislocations:

Accepted Answer

Studies comparing internal and external rotation immobilization after first-time anterior glenohumeral dislocations have generally found no significant differences in the rates of recurrent subluxations and dislocations between the two methods.

Question 14

Research examining the effects of sling bracing and figure-of-eight wrapping techniques for the treatment of clavicular fractures found:

Accepted Answer

Research comparing sling bracing and figure-of-eight wrapping techniques for clavicular fractures generally finds no significant differences in outcomes such as shoulder function scores, cosmetic results, and the timing of return to activity between the two methods.

Question 15

How should you position the patient for the application of a compression wrap to control swelling?

Accepted Answer

The answer of How should you position the patient for...

Question 16

A 10 yard length elastic wrap is recommended for all of the following techniques EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

The answer of A 10 yard length elastic wrap is...

Question 17

Shoulder and/or upper arm protective equipment is required during practices and competitions for all of the following NCAA and NFHS sports EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

Shoulder and/or upper arm protective equipment is mandatory in football, ice hockey, and lacrosse to protect athletes from injuries during the physical contact that is common in these sports. Field hockey, while still requiring protective gear, does not mandate shoulder and upper arm protection as part of its standard equipment for players.

Question 18

Most recommend that athletes return to collision and contact sports following an acromioclavicular joint sprain with:

Accepted Answer

Protective padding is recommended for athletes returning to collision and contact sports following an acromioclavicular joint sprain because it helps to cushion and protect the injured area from further impact or injury, allowing for safer participation in sports activities.

Question 19

Which of the following can be used with a compression wrap to prevent irritation of the cubital fossa?

Accepted Answer

A thin foam pad can be used with a compression wrap to prevent irritation of the cubital fossa by providing a soft barrier between the skin and the wrap, reducing friction and pressure.

Question 20

SLAP is the acronym for:

Accepted Answer

SLAP stands for superior labrum anteroposterior, referring to a type of shoulder injury involving the superior part of the labrum.
