3 Muscles of foot:
1. abductor hallucis
2. extensor digitorum brevis
3. plantar interossei
ALSO:
-dorsal interossei
-flexor digiti minimi brevis
-adductor hallucis
-flexor hallucis brevis
-lumbricales
-quadratus plantae
-abductor digiti minimi
In contact sports it is likely for a player to receive a valgus blow on the lateral aspect of the knee. In
order the structures that may be injured are the collateral ligaments, then the cruciate ligaments then the
medial collateral ligament followed by the medial meniscus and ACL. (unhappy triad)
3 tests:
1. Posterior drawer test : the test is performed with the knee flexed at 90 degrees and the foot in neutral.
Force is exerted in a posterior direction at the proximal tibial plateau. A positive posterior drawer test
indicated damage to the posterior cruciate ligament.
2. Posterior Sag test (Godfrey's test) : Athlete supine, both knees are flexed to 90 degrees. Observing
laterally on the injured side, the tibia will appear to sag posteriorly when compared with the opposite
extremity if the posterior cruciate ligament is damaged.
3. Apley compression test : Performed with the athlete lying face down the the affected leg flexed to 90
degrees. While stabilizing thigh, trainer applies a hard downward pressure to the leg and rotates the leg
back and forth. If pain results, a meniscal injury has occurred. A medial meniscal tear is noted by
external rotation, and a lateral meniscal tear is noted by internal rotation of the lower leg.
3. Describe adult, child, and infant CPR. Include obstructed airway conscious and unconscious.
Include hand position, compression depth and rate, breathing rate, and cycle. Explain the procedures
for using an AED. If AED advises no shock is needed what should you do? Explain the devices used in
administering oxygen. What are some common pressures used. Give first aid for burns. frostbite, and
heat exhaustion and anaphylactic shock.
AED
1Analyze (shockable)
2. Give 1 shock
3. 5 cycles of CPR
4. Analyze
5. Repeat for 2 minutes
1. Analyze (non-shockable)
2. 5 cylces of CPR
3. Analyze
4. Repeat for 2 minutes
6. Name the four rotator cuff muscles, their individual and overall function. Also, give structure
involved, etiology, diagnostic tests used, signs and symptoms, and treatment for torn rotator cuff,
impingement syndrome, bicipital tendonitis, and ant. and post. glenohumeral dislocations. Give the
procedures for a general rehab plan for the shoulder complex. Explain TOS and throwing phases with
prime movers in each phase, and what structures are injured in each phase.
Impingement Syndrome:
etiology - mechanical compression of surpraspinatus tendon
signs and symptoms - pain with overhead motion, external rotators feel weaker
Glenohumeral dislocations:
etiology - abduction and external rotation
signs and symptoms - pain which is relieved by holding arm by side, pain abducting arm
tests - apprehension test (lay down, abduct, externally rotate arm, pain during movement = positive)
Bicipital Tendonitis:
Etiology: jerking, straining
signs and symptoms: pain in anterior shoulder, discomfort
tests - yergasons test (supinate against resistance, 90 at elbow)
-speeds test (arm out, palm up, push down)
TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome)
etiology - none
signs and symptoms - weakness, numbness, pains, pins and needles
tests - Roo's test (clench and unclench fists for few minutes, tingling = positive)
General Rehab : consists of exercises with the primary goal to establish pain free active range of
motion with minimal strength, may also include wearing slings or splints.
Throwing Phases:
1. wind-up phase - external rotation (90-120degrees), abduction, elbow flexion (90-120degrees)
2. acceleration phase - from external to internal rotation
3. follow through phase - triceps, forearm flexors, internal rotator (subscapularis)
11. Wall of the eye contains three distinct layers, or tunics. Name the tunics, their parts in detail and
their functions. Explain the central processing of visual information (visual pathway) from the retina.
Also, explain in detail the sequential evens of phototransduction (photochemistry of the eye).
Tunics
Fibrous tunic- Avascular- no blood
Sclera (white)- protects and shapes eyeball & holds muscle
Cornea (clear)- sodium pumps to keep it clear
Vascular tunic (uvea)
secretes aqueous humor to keep in focus
-iris
-ciliary body
-choroid- highly vascular
Sensory Tunic
functions: phagocytosis- kills germs and vitamin a is stored
Visual Pathway
1. Visual Field (temporal/nasal)
2. After passing lens, light from each half projects to opposite side of retina
3. An optic nerve (axons within) retina to optic chiasm
4. optic chiasm- axons(nasal of retina) cross & project to the brain; temporal doesnt
5. Optic tract axons that passed o. chiasm to thalamus
6. Axons synapse in lat. Geniculate nuclei of thalamus.
collateral branches of the axons in optic tract synapse in sup. Colliculi
7. optic radiation axons from thalamic neurons project to visual cortex
