10Excessive upward rotation of the right scapula is noted when a patient attempts to perform shoulder flexion. Which of the following exercises is MOST appropriate to help correct the excessive scapular rotation?

- DBilateral scapular adduction with the upper extremities medially (internally) rotated and adducted across the back
11A patient who has low back pain is placed in prone position. A physical therapist performs posteroanterior lumbar segmental mobility testing on the patient and provokes tenderness in the L3–L4 segments. The patient is then instructed to stand and bend over the end of the plinth, grab the edges of the plinth in order to stabilize the trunk, and lift both feet off the ground. Which of the following consequent scenarios will be MOST helpful in establishing the patient's prognosis?
- AInability to secure the upper body on the plinth
- BInability to lift both lower extremities off the ground
- CReduced tenderness on repeat palpation with the legs lifted
- DReduced localized back pain symptoms with the legs lifted
12A physical therapist examining a patient's joint play finds restriction in the direction indicated by the arrow in the photograph (therapist is gliding volarly). To address the restriction, the therapist should include an intervention to increase which motion of the index finger (2nd digit)?
- AFlexion
- BExtension
- CAbduction
- DRotation
13A physical therapist observes a patient from behind during bilateral shoulder abduction and notes that the patient's right scapula is more abducted than the left scapula at the end range of movement. Which of the following conditions is the MOST likely cause of the altered scapula position on the right?
- ATightness of the rhomboid major and minor
- BWeakness of the serratus anterior
- CRestricted motion of the glenohumeral joint
- DWeakness of the upper trapezius
14A 20-year-old female athlete underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction 3 days ago. Which of the following exercises is LEAST indicated at this time?

15During a posture examination, the physical therapist notes that both of the patient's patellae point inward when viewed from the front of the patient. The MOST likely cause of this problem is excessive:
- Afemoral anteversion.
- Bweakness of the vastus medialis.
- Cgenu varum.
- Dmedial tibial torsion.
16A patient who had a radial shaft fracture 8 weeks ago just had the cast removed. The patient has limited range of motion in all directions and limited strength of the wrist and finger joints.

- CKnee extension on an isokinetic exercise device
- DStraight-leg raising with a sling suspension
21During evaluation of a patient's gait, a physical therapist observes that the patient leans forward shortly after heel strike (initial contact). The patient's forward bending is MOST likely a compensation for weakness in the:
- Aquadriceps.
- Bhamstrings.
- Cgluteus maximus
- Dtibialis anterior.
22The work modification (standing) shown in the photograph is MOST appropriate for a patient with which of the following conditions?

23An older adult patient had a total hip arthroplasty following a hip fracture from a fall in his home. The patient lived alone and was previously able to perform all activities of daily living independently. He has been admitted to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation.
