Evaluation and Treatment of Rotator Cuff Impairments: Summary

F INAL EXAM QUESTIONS

122. Scapular elevation and scapular protraction are what types of movements? a. Both are translation motions b. Both are rotational c. Elevation is translation, and protraction is rotation d. Protraction is translation, and elevation is rotation 123. Standing in anatomical position, the scapula is oriented: a. Slightly upward and slightly to the front b. Slightly downward and slightly to the front c. Slightly upward and slightly to the back d. Slightly downward and slightly to the back 124. This bony landmark is named for the “peak,” and its direction defines upward or downward rotation of the scapula. a. Coracoid process b. Spine of scapula c. Glenoid fossa d. Acromion process 125. Which muscles are upward rotators of the scapula? a. Levator scapula, rhomboids, pectoralis minor b. Upper trapezius, lower trapezius, serratus anterior c. Upper trapezius, levator scapula, rhomboids d. Lower trapezius, pectoralis minor, levator scapula 126. Improper alignment of the humerus against the scapula can result in all the following EXCEPT: a. Decreased range of motion b. Impingement of nerve or connective tissue c. Maximum sports performance d. Diminished strength

127. The property whereby a material maintains deformity (keeps a new shape) is: a. Elasticity b. Plasticity c. Tension d. Translation 128. Which two rotator cuff muscles arise from the posterior aspect of the scapula? a. Teres minor and infraspinatus b. Teres major and supraspinatus c. Infraspinatus and subscapularis d. Teres minor and subscapularis 129. Which is NOT part of corrective kinesiology strategies? a. Identifying joint misalignments b. Identifying hypertonic agonists c. Achieving maximum activation of overactive muscles d. Strengthening and achieving activation of hypotonic muscles 130. All of the following statements about the rotator cuff are true EXCEPT: a. The rotator cuff helps to maintain proper placement of the head of the humerus within the coracoacromial arch b. The rotator cuff muscles help assist motions such as internal rotation, external rotation, and abduction of the scapula c. The rotator cuff tendons may be susceptible to impingement if scapulohumeral alignment is compromised d. The rotator cuff muscles are powerful movers of the humerus that insert several inches down the shaft of the bone 131. Decreased neural drive to a functional antagonist is called: a. Impingement b. Reciprocal inhibition c. Misalignment d. This never happens
