A physical therapist prepares to preform a joint mobilization on a patient with
adhesive capsulitis. When applying the convex-concave rule, which direction
should the mobilizing force be applied to address the GREATEST restriction of
range of motion expected based on the presence of a capsular pattern at the
glenohumeral joint?
1. posterior glide
2. inferior glide
3. anterior glide
4. superior glide Answer - *3. Anterior glide*
of the humeral head is necessary for shoulder lateral rotation, extension, and
horizontal abduction
explanation for others:
1. a posterior glide of the humeral head is necessary for shoulder flexion,
medial rotation, and horizontal adduction
2. an inferior glide of the humeral head is necessary for shoulder flexion and
abduction. this would be helpful for treating adhesive capsulitis, however, the
greatest restriction is lateral rotation.
4. a superior glide of the humeral head occurs during shoulder adduction and is
not a typical mobilizing force necessary at the glenohumeral joint

A physical therapist consults with a speech-language pathologist regarding a
patient who has abulic aphasia. Based on the type of presenting aphasia, which
of the following impairments would be most anticipated?
1. delayed response time to questions
2. Limited speech production with jumbled words
3. inability to understand questions being asked
4. inability to produce of comprehend laguae Answer - 1. delayed response
time to questions
abulic aphasia is typically associated with reduced spontaneous speech and
delayed response time to questions. Abulia refers to a lack of will or initiative
that is often viewed as reduced motivation or passivity. Reduced social
interactions and reduced interest in usual activities are other characteristics of
abulia.
Explanation to others:
2. limited speech production with jumbled words is typically associated with
Broca's aphasia Broca's aphasia, also known as "expressive aphasia," is the
most common form of aphasia. Broca's area is located in the frontal lobe and is
supplied by the left middle cerebral artery.
3. inability to understand questions being asked is commonly associated with
Wernicke's aphasia. Wernicke's aphasia is also known as "receptive aphasia."
Wernicke's area is located in the temporal lobe and, like Broca's area, is
supplied by the left middle cerebral artery.
4. Inability to produce or comprehend language is referred to as global aphasia.
Global aphasia is associated with a large left middle cerebral artery stroke, with
