Question 2

Which of the following statements about hyperalgesia is true?

Accepted Answer

A) Hyperalgesia is defined as decreased pain sensitivity to an applied stimulus. 
B) Spread of pain sensitivity that occurs outside the area of damaged tissue due to neurophysiological mechanisms is called secondary hyperalgesia.

Question 3

Which of the following statements about joint proprioception is true?

Accepted Answer

A) Deficits in joint reposition sense are correlated to deficits in threshold to detection of passive movement. 
B) Both joint reposition sense and threshold to detection of passive movement are mediated in large part by the muscle spindle. 
C) While functional deficits and postural instability have been reported in individuals with knee osteoarthritis,joint proprioception is unaffected. 
D) Deficits in joint reposition sense following whiplash resolve as pain diminishes.Chapter 3.Examination of Sensory Function

Question 4

Which of the following BEST describes the appropriate application of algometry assessment as a tool in Quantitative Sensory Testing?

Accepted Answer

A) A small rounded 1 cm2 tip is used,which preferentially stimulates cutaneous receptors. 
B) Applying the instrument repeatedly can sensitize the tested tissues;waiting 5 seconds between applications will prevent this issue. 
C) Consistent rate of application is important for reliable measurements. 
D) The direction of application to the target tissue has no effect on results.
