Chapter 15: Neuromuscular and Movement Function: Health Conditions
1. The most common form of joint disease in later life is:
a. Osteoporosis
b. Rheumatoid arthritis
c. Cruciate ligament tear
d. Osteoarthritis
2. As distinct from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis is:
a. A systemic disease with a strong genetic etiology
b. Associated with wear and tear on articular cartilage
c. An autoimmune disorder
d. A consequence of immobility and limited physical activity
3. A complication of osteoporosis is:
a. Increased fall risk
b. Muscle aches
c. Increased fracture risk
d. Joint inflammation
4. Which of the following would NOT be considered a major osteoporotic fracture?
a. Distal fibula
b. Vertebral body
c. Proximal femur
d. Proximal humerus
5. For older adults with osteoporosis and vertebral fractures, a change in the recommendations about exercise interventions would be:
a. Increase vigorous aerobic activity to more than 150 minutes per week
b. Alternate upper and lower extremity weight-bearing exercise
c. Consider reducing intensity of aerobic activity
d. Focus progressive resistance exercise on intensity
6. The most common cause of lower extremity amputation in later life is:
a. Automobile accident
b. Vascular disease associated with long-term diabetes
c. Stroke with peripheral vascular deficit
d. Amputation from any cause is rare in later life.
7. When working with an older adult with a lower extremity amputation, the best time to start setting rehabilitation goals is:
a. Before surgery
b. Immediately after surgery
c. Once the wound has healed
d. Rehabilitation is ineffective, so assistive interventions are the main consideration
8. Characteristic signs of Parkinson’s disease include:
a. Tremor after physical exertion
b. Resting tremor and difficulty initiating motor action
c. Tongue thrust during initiation of speech
d. Gastrointestinal changes, most notably frequent diarrhea
9. A particularly important element of early intervention for people with Parkinson’s disease is:
a. Increased intense aerobic exercise
b. Provision of assistive devices
c. Relocation to an assisted living setting
d. Motor learning activities with ample motor practice
10. In treating people with stroke, research demonstrates that two factors are particularly important in rehabilitation outcomes. Those factors are:
a. Repetition and intensity of motor interventions
b. Provision of speech services and physical therapy
c. Incorporation of work-related occupations
d. Daily meetings with social work and weekly medication review
