Neurologic Rehabilitation

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following is not one of the four components of the Nagi Disablement Model?
a. Disease
b. Impairments
c. Limitations
d. Ambulatory status
ANS: D
The four components of the Nagi Disablement Model (disease, impairments, functional
limitations, and disability) evolve as the individual loses health.
2. Loss of dorsiflexion range of motion is an example of what component of the Nagi
Disablement Model?
a. Disease
b. Impairments
c. Functional limitations
d. Disability
ANS: B
Examples of physical impairments include a loss of strength in the anterior tibialis or a loss of
15 degrees of active shoulder flexion. The physical impairments may or may not limit the
individual to perform functional tasks.
3. According to the Guide to Physical Therapists Practice, 2nd Edition, what is defined as
“those activities identified by an individual as essential to support physical, social, and
psychological wellbeing and to create a personal sense meaningful living”?
a. Activities of daily living
b. Functional limitations
c. Function
d. Instrumental activities of daily living
ANS: C
As physical therapy professionals, it is important that we understand our role in optimizing
patient function. The Guide to Physical Therapists Practice, 2nd Edition, defined the function
as “those activities identified by an individual as essential to support physical, social, and
psychological wellbeing and to create a personal sense of meaningful living.”
4. According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, what is
defined as a condition of physical, mental, and social wellbeing which allows an individual to
participate in functional activities and life situations?
a. Health
b. Strength
c. Disease
d. Disorder

ANS: A
According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, health is
much more than the absence of disease but rather a condition of physical, mental, and social
wellbeing which allows an individual to participate in functional activities in life situations.
5. What are the deficits that an individual may experience when attempting to meet social roles
and obligations within the environment?
a. Social roadblocks
b. Physical limitations
c. Functional restrictions
d. Participation restrictions
ANS: D
Participation restrictions are the deficits that an individual may experience when attempting to
meet social roles and obligations within the environment.
6. Which of the following emphasizes enablement rather than disability?
a. The Oswestry questionnaire
b. The Nagi model
c. The ICF
d. The Guide to Physical Therapist Practice
ANS: C
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Heath (ICF) is similar to the
Nagi model; however, the ICF emphasizes enablement rather than disability. In the ICF
model, there is less focus on the cause of the medical condition and points more emphasis
directed to the impact that activity limitations and participation restrictions have on the
individual.
7. Which of the following is not included in a plan of care developed by physical therapists after
an examination of a client?
a. Insurance reimbursement guidelines
b. Goals
c. Expected outcomes
d. Intervention
ANS: A
If after the examination, the physical therapist (PT) concludes that the patient will benefit
from therapy services, the plan of care is developed which identifies the goals, expected
outcomes, and the interventions to be administered to achieve the desired patient outcomes.
8. What in what part of the physical therapy patient/client management module would the
therapist interpret the patient’s responses to tests and make clinical judgments relative to the
severity of the patient’s problems?
a. Examination
b. Evaluation
c. Prognosis
d. Interventions
ANS: B

Test Bank - Neurologic Interventions for Physical Therapy, 8th Edition (Martin, 2021)
The physical therapist evaluates the data, interprets the patient’s responses, and makes clinical
judgments relative to the chronicity or severity of the patient’s problems.
9. In what portion of the patient/client management module will the PT or physical therapist
assistant (PTA) interact with the patient through activities designed to improve the patient’s
condition?
a. Examination
b. Evaluation
c. Intervention
d. Outcomes
ANS: C
Intervention is the element of patient management in which the PT or PTA interacts with the
patient through the administration of “various physical interventions to produce changes in the
patient’s condition that are consistent with the diagnosis and prognosis.”
10. What is the final component related to patient management process?
a. Evaluation
b. Examination
c. Goals
d. Review of outcomes
ANS: D
The final component related to patient management is review of patient outcomes. The PT
must determine the impact selected interventions have had on the patient’s condition and
return to society.
11. Which of the following would not contain information regarding interventions that are
considered outside the scope of practice for the PTA?
a. Physical Therapy Code of Ethics by the American Physical Therapy Association
(APTA)
b. APTA policy documents
c. State practice act
d. Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education guidelines
ANS: A
PTs and PTAs are advised to refer to APTA policy documents, their state practice act, and the
Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education guidelines for the most up to
date information regarding interventions that are considered outside the scope for the PTA.
12. Which academy of the APTA has a fact sheet regarding physical therapy provided by PTAs?
a. Sports
b. Neurology
c. Geriatric
d. Pediatric
ANS: D
The Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy published a fact sheet in 2014.
13. Which of the following is most critical for the physical therapist to assess when considering
utilization of a PTA to provide an intervention?

a. Patient’s condition
b. Probability of a positive outcome
c. Practice setting
d. Type of intervention
ANS: A
It is recommended that the physical therapist assess the patient’s condition regarding stability,
acuity, criticality, and complexity when determining whether a PTA should provide an
intervention. The other option are important but not the most important.
14. Who are the two most important members of the health-care team?
a. Primary PT and PTA
b. Patient and family
c. Patient and PTA
d. PTA and MD
ANS: B
The two most important members of the health-care team are the patient and the family.
TRUE/FALSE
1. The primary PT is not responsible for the patient both legally and ethically in regards to the
actions of the PTA relative to patient management.
ANS: F
The primary PT is still ultimately responsible for the patient both legally and ethically and the
