Remote students: Only Physical Track students should complete this Lesson. (As mentioned in the Work Load Lesson, all are welcome to do any and all work!)

Please DO NOT MARK COMPLETE until AFTER YOU HAVE SUBMITTED THE QUIZ!

Please read the questions carefully and select THE BEST answer. Read this example and you will probably do better on this test!
Remember, just because an item is true does not make it the answer to THAT PARTICULAR question.

For example, imagine that I asked you: What are the primary muscles stretched in Uttanasana (Standing Forward Fold).

If your choices were:
- A - The hamstrings are getting the most stretch in Forward Fold.
- B - Pigeon pose may provide a great hip stretch.
- C - The neck is getting the most stretch in Forward Fold.
The answer would be A.
B is true (pigeon is a great hip stretch), but it does not answer the specific question being asked.

C might be true (it is possible your neck gets a slight stretch because it is hanging freely and releasing compression), but...

The hamstrings get a much greater stretch than the neck in this pose (there are better ways to stretch the neck). Therefore, the answer is A.

Please DO NOT STRESS! You can re-take any test as many times as needed. This is not about memorization or being perfect. It is about understanding. Some people test better than others. I realize that you may know the material, but writing it down may not be your strong suite. Please realize that written tests do have a place in learning, but they are not the only way to test knowledge. Again, you can re-take as needed, so there is no need to stress. Just do your best and breathe!
Which statement is false concerning the standard posterior alignment? Remember, standard posterior alignment means most people will look like this from behind if you just ask them to stand the way they normally stand (NOT mountain pose).
- The palms of the hands should be facing the sides of the body
- Calf bulk should be equal for the left and right leg
- The shoulder of the non-dominant hand may be lower than the shoulder of the dominant hand
- The feet should be turned out very slightly
If your client has torticollis, they will exhibit:
- Slight flexion of the head
- Lateral flexion of the head
- Right rotation of the head
- Left rotation of the head
Which statement is false concerning our postures?
- We rarely adopt the same posture in response to the same emotion
- Postures can give clues to new traumas
- Postures can give clues to old injuries
- Postures can correspond to various emotions
When the scapula is “winged”, what muscle is MOST LIKELY weak?
- Rhomboid major and minor
- Middle fibers of trapezius
- Serratus anterior
- Serratus posterior
When the client has a pelvis that is raised on the right, this is indicative of:
- An overly tight left quadratus lumborum
- Increased lateral flexion of lumbar spine towards the left
- An abducted right hip
- Increased lateral flexion of lumbar spine towards the right
Advocates of techniques such as myofascial release argue that imbalances at one end of the body can affect structures at the other end because:
- The anatomical arrangement of our body
- Restrictions in fascia can’t be viewed as solely localized phenomena
- The relationship between various parts of the body
- How well our various parts fit together
The iliac crest is roughly level with the:
- 4th lumbar vertebrae
- Coccyx
- Sacrum
- 5th lumbar vertebrae
An excessive lordosis in the cervical area of the spine is usually combined with:
- Decreased kyphosis of the thoracic spine
- Increased kyphosis of the thoracic spine
- Decreased kyphosis of the lumbar spine
- Increased kyphosis of the lumbar spine
A possible reason for someone without a history of trauma to the shoulder to have muscular atrophy of that area is:
- Shoulder separation
- Adhesive capsulitis
- Rotator cuff impingement syndrome
- Dislocation
All of the following are appropriate for the client to wear/not wear during the postural assessment EXCEPT:
- No socks or shoes
- Disrobed to his underwear
- Hair should hang loosely and never be tied back
- Bra without full back coverage so we can see scapulae
All of the following muscles are lengthened during downward rotation of the scapula EXCEPT:
- Serratus anterior
- Rhomboid major
- Upper trapezius
- Rhomboid minor
If the right humerus is internally rotated, all of the following are shortened EXCEPT:
- Right pectoralis minor
- Right teres major
- Right subscapularis
- Right pectoralis major
The human center of gravity is located:
- In the chest
- At the belly button
- Anterior to S2
- In line with T12
People who often perform which of the following activities are more likely to have unilateral shortness in the rhomboids on one particular side?
- Rock climbers
- Rowers
- Pole vaulters
- Accountants
What is the name for the “line of gravity?”
- Midline
- Plumb Line
- Median
- Axis
The disadvantage to the belief that there is a “standard posture” that should look the same on every person is:
- It can lead to only looking at specific areas of the body and not how they are all connected and affect each other
- It means there are too many treatments to cover and that cannot be done in one session
- It only looks at the possibility of trauma causing the postural issue and no other causes
- It is ultimately not achievable with anyone and is therefore completely useless
If the head is tilted to the right, what muscle is NOT tight?
- The right middle trapezius muscle
- The right levator scapula muscle
- The right scalene muscles
- The right upper trapezius muscle
All are valid reasons to perform a postural assessment EXCEPT:
- Establish a baseline
- Save time in the therapies
- Acquire information
- Diagnose problems
The main purpose of having a skeleton available during postural assessments is:
- Without a skeleton, clients will not trust you
- You can use it to help clients understand movement
- It demonstrates muscle movement
- Every body is the same, so a skeleton shows everything we need to know about movement
Besides using the iliac crest, what else can be used to determine if a client has one hip higher than the other hip? B. C. D.
- If the ASIS is lower than the PSIS
- If the client has one hip further away from the wall than the other when standing in front of wall
- Internal rotation of the hips
- Noticing if the PSIS on one side is higher than the PSIS on the other side
For most individuals, the dominant shoulder is typically:
- Elevated and slightly protracted
- Depressed and slightly retracted
- Depressed and slightly protracted
- Elevated and internally rotated
If the left scapula appears more prominent that the right, and also closer to the observer, then: (Hint - This is not designed to be tricky, but can kind of feel that way....If you have the Jane Johnson book see this reference: , Johnson, Jane (2011-12-22). Postural Assessment (Hands-On Guides for Therapists) (Kindle Locations 937-938). Human Kinetics. Kindle Edition.)
- The left scapula is higher than the right
- The trunk is rotated clockwise
- The trunk is lateral flexed on the left side
- The trunk is rotated counterclockwise
Who should have a postural assessment?
- A client who needs a diagnosis of injury
- A client who is very nervous about the subject
- A client who has told you she doesn't feel comfortable doing an assessment
- None of the above are correct answers
An upwardly rotated scapula will be:
- Abducted at the superior angle
- Adducted at the superior angle
- Adducted at the inferior angle
- Neutral at both angles
When a client is not using his shoulder due to injury, which two muscles are typically atrophied?
- Supraspinatus and infraspinatus
- Subscapularis and infraspinatus
- Pectoralis major and supraspinatus
- Teres minor and subscapularis
When is a postural assessment usually performed?
- Before signing waiver forms or getting their consent
- Before you have any background information on the client
- After an initial consultation (phone/email/verbal all possible)
- Only after 3 months of weekly sessions to make sure they are progressing properly
How do you know if a shoulder is higher than the other rather than the opposite shoulder is lower?
- The client has had a stroke
- If the head is tilted to the opposite side
- If the shoulder is showing winging
- By realizing it is easier to elevate the shoulder than to depress it
If the scapula is protracted and the head appears to be in the “wrong” place, what might the real problem be?
- The head is too far forward
- The cervical vertebrae are straight (military neck) and not natural lordotic curve
- The head is slightly rotated
- The scapula is retracted
Upward rotation of the scapula describes movement of the:
- Coracoid process
- Medial border of the scapula
- Superior angle
- Glenoid fossa
When using the plumb line in the standard lateral posture, it should be:
- Against the earlobe
- Slightly anterior to the lateral malleolus
- Vertically through most of the cervical vertebrae
- Through the bodies of the lumbar vertebrae
When the client is showing a curvature to one side in the spine when viewing the client from the posterior view, this may indicate any or all of the following EXCEPT:
- Scoliosis
- Anterior pelvic tilt
- Muscle spasm
- Disc herniation
