64. A tool that can measure fall risk and dynamic gait activities including head turns is the? a. Tinetti Gait and Balance. b. Berg Balance Scale. c. mCTSIB. d. Dynamic Gait Index. 65. Orthostatic hypotension can be defined during changes in postures as a drop in blood pressure of? a. ≥10 mm Hg, or in diastolic blood pressure of ≥10 mm Hg. b. ≥20 mm Hg, or in diastolic blood pressure of ≥10 mm Hg. c. ≥20 mm Hg, or in diastolic blood pressure of ≥20 mm Hg. d. ≥30 mm Hg, or in diastolic blood pressure of ≥20 mm Hg. 66. A fear of falling can be assessed in older adults by surveying: a. ADLs that they are avoiding. b. Medications that they are taking. c. Assistive devices they are using. d. Number of medical visits they are making. 67. The Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy clinical guidance statement supports fall prevention interventions and rehabilitation that target: a. Gait, balance, strength, home safety, and footwear. b. Posture, flexibility, strength, home safety, and footwear. c. Endurance, cognition, vision, home safety, foot deformities. d. Gait, bone density, aerobic endurance, and vital capacity. 68. Fall prevention exercise classes that have been shown to decrease fall risk are? a. Yoga and deep breathing classes. b. Tai chi postural transitions. c. Aerobic conditioning. d. Meditation. 69. Fall prevention education alone, without other interventions, for older adults should: a. Not be provided as a single intervention to reduce falls. b. Be offered as the first intervention to reduce falls. c. Be in written form only. d. Be provided only by the primary care provider. 70. For frailer older adults who are homebound, the fall prevention program with the best evidence for reduction in falls is: a. Matter of Balance. b. Otago. c. FallProof. d. NoFalls.
55. Which statement best describes frailty? a. It is a rare geriatric syndrome.
b. It is defined by age and loss of normal cognition. c. It is characterized by loss of strength and physiologic function. d. It is a poor predictor of mortality and disability. 56. What happens to the base of support in older adults as they age? a. It stays the same. b. It widens. c. It narrows. d. It varies too much to measure. 57. Which gait parameter typically changes with age and can impact function in older adults? a. Speed. b. Gait phasing. c. Stride rate. d. Vertical displacement of the center of gravitys. 58. Gait speed is highly predictive of? a. Number of comorbidities. b. Number of medications. c. Survival rate. d. Number of hospitalizations. 59. The Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy recommends that older adults who have fallen in the last year or who have gait and balance problems should: a. Be considered low risk for falls. b. Undergo a gait and mobility screen using the tests from STEADI. c. Undergo a full assessment by a physical therapist. d. Be referred back to their physician. 60. The STEADI fall risk screening battery includes which three assessment tools? a. TUG, 30-Second Chair Stand, and 4-Stage Balance Test. b. Rhomberg, Functional Reach, and Single-Leg Stance. c. Gait speed, Five-Times Sit to Stand, and tandem stance. d. Gait speed, 30-Second Chair Stand, and tandem stance. 61. The TUG test is a timed assessment tool that measures the time to walk 10 feet: a. In a straight line at fastest speed possible. b. In a straight line at self-selected gait speed. c. And turn around and walk back at fastest speed. d. And turn around and walk back at self-selected speed. 62. An older adult could be described as low risk for falls if they have had: a. Only two injurious falls in the past 12 months. b. No falls that required medical attention in the past 6 months. c. Only three risk factors for falls. d. No injurious falls in the past 12 months. 63. A multifactorial fall risk evaluation that follows a fall risk screening should ideally be performed: a. By the primary care physician. b. By a trained clinician in movement disorders. c. By a nurse. d. Only after an injurious fall.
