Problem 1: You are working with a 22-year-old football player who fractured his right ankle and right wrist hand during a game 2 days ago. He has orders to be NWB on the R ankle/foot and R wrist. He is currently in a short leg cast and full wrist and hand cast. You are seeing him in the outpatient clinic setting. You want to perform strength testing for transfers.
Which of the following muscle groups would be contraindicated for you to test?
A Left ankle dorsiflexors
B Right hip extensors
C Right shoulder abductors
D Right ankle plantarflexors
Problem 2: You are working with a 22-year-old football player who fractured his right ankle and right wrist hand during a game 2 days ago. He has orders to be NWB on the R ankle/foot and R wrist. He is currently in a short leg cast and full wrist and hand cast. You are seeing him in the outpatient clinic setting.
He comes to the clinic in a manual wheelchair pushed by his father. You notice the footplates of the wheelchair are too low. This would cause what to occur:
A Increased pressure on the greater trochanters of the hip
B Difficulty positioning the knees under a table because the knees will be too high
C Decreased stability due to lack of support on the posterior thighs
D Difficulty clearing the footplates over obstacles while maneuvering the chair
