OTH 730 Final UPDATED ACTUAL
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
L-codes - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*used for reimbursement of orthotic devices
*distinguishes between pre-fabricated and custom fabricated orthotics and if its meant to
mobilize or immobilize
*generally inclusive of the evaluation
CPT code 97760 can be used in conjunction w/ L code ONLY if: - CORRECT ANSWER-
✔✔training goes above and beyond normal, not standard procedures
An eval code can only be used in addition to L code if it: - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔is part
of ongoing treatment and training
Arches of the Hand - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*longitudinal arch
*proximal transverse arch
*distal transverse arch
*have pt. perform thumb opposition to ensure that the arches of the hand are not impacted w/
orthosis
Longitudinal Arch of Hand - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*carpal through digital rays
*mobile for grasping
Proximal Transverse Arch of Hand - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔base of carpal tunnel
*rigid at distal carpal bones
Distal Transverse Arch of Hand - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*metacarpal heads
*mobile for grasping objects (especially on side of pinky and ring finger)
,Creases of Hand - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔orthoses must clear creases to allow
unimpeded ROM
Articular Orthoses - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔orthoses that cross one or more joints
Nonarticular Orthoses - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔provide support and protection to a
healing bone or soft tissue structure (fewer occurrences)
Intent of Orthoses - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*immobilization: hold joint still
*mobilization: extension force exerted
*restriction: restrict full extension of joint but allow active flexion
Static Orthoses - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*firm base and immobilize the joint(s)
*can block one joint to facilitate movement of another joint
*considered nonarticular-no direct influence on joint mobility
*most common orthosis that therapists make
What is the most common orthosis that therapists make? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔static
orthoses
Serial Static Orthoses - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*series of positions
*remolded/re-fabricated to gain more motion each time and maintain the joint or soft tissue
positioning
*circumferential and nonremovable
*orthoses or casts-applied w/ tissue at near maximal length; worn to elongate soft tissue
Dynamic Orthoses - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*create a mobilizing force resulting from
PROM gains or passive assistive ROM
*static base w/ outrigger attachment to make it dynamic
*rubber bands, springs, neoprene, elastic cord
*tissue elongation in less mature scar tissue
, Static Progressive Orthoses - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*undirectional, low-load force to
the tissue's end range until the tissue accommodates
*non-elastic components=mobilizing force (nylon cord, strapping, screws, nonelastic tape)
*once the position is set, the orthosis does not stress the joint further
What is the most common form of orthoses? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔immobilization
Immobilization Orthoses Objectives - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*symptom relief after
injury/overuse
*protect and properly position edematous structure
*maximizing function
*maintain tissue length and prevent contracture
*protect healing structures
*protect reduction of a fracture
*improve joint alignment
*block or transfer power of movement
*reduce tone and contracture or spastic muscle
Mobilization Orthoses Objectives - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*remodel mature scar tissue
*elongate soft tissue contractures
*increase passive joint ROM
*realign joint and ligament profile
*substitute for weak or absent motion
*maintain reduction of fracture
*provide resistance for exercise
Restriction Orthoses Objectives - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔*limit motion after nerve,
tendon, or bone-ligament injury/repair
*provide and improve joint stability and alignment
*assist in functional use of the hand
