The musculocutaneous nerve does not supply:
The musculocutaneous nerve innervates muscles in the anterior compartment of the arm, primarily responsible for elbow flexion. These muscles include the coracobrachialis, biceps brachii (both heads), and brachialis. The pectoralis minor, however, is innervated by the medial pectoral nerve, not the musculocutaneous nerve.
Superior oblique (an extraocular muscle) is supplied by which cranial nerve?
The superior oblique muscle, one of the extraocular muscles controlling eye movement, is uniquely innervated by the trochlear nerve (cranial nerve IV). The other extraocular muscles are generally innervated by the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) and the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI) innervates the lateral rectus. The facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) does not innervate any of the eye muscles.
Superior Gluteal Nerve supplies the following muscle:
The superior gluteal nerve primarily innervates the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and the tensor fascia lata muscles. These muscles are located in the gluteal region and are critical for hip abduction and stabilization. The gluteus maximus muscle is innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve. The Gemellus inferior and Obturator internus muscles are supplied by the nerve to obturator internus.
Aplastic anemia is due to:
Aplastic anemia is characterized by the failure of the bone marrow to produce blood cells, resulting in pancytopenia (reduction in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). It is a direct issue with the marrow's ability to produce blood cells and is not usually caused by nutritional deficiencies like iron, vitamin B12, or folic acid, which lead to other types of anemia.
Fick principle is used as a:
The Fick principle is a physiological principle used to determine cardiac output. It is based on the amount of oxygen consumed per unit of time, the arteriovenous oxygen difference, and the rate of oxygen uptake. By measuring the oxygen consumption and the oxygen concentration in the arteries and veins, cardiac output can be calculated.
The correct formula for the alveolar ventilation is:
Alveolar ventilation is the volume of air that reaches the alveoli (where gas exchange occurs) per minute. The correct formula accounts for the volume of air in each breath (tidal volume) and the volume of air in the conducting airways (dead space) that does not participate in gas exchange. The formula is: Alveolar Ventilation = (Tidal Volume - Dead Space) x Respiratory Rate.
The protection furnished by society to its members through a series of public measures against social and economic distresses is called as:
Social security refers to the public measures that a society implements to provide protection to its members against various economic and social distresses, such as unemployment, old age, disability, or sickness. These measures typically include programs like unemployment benefits, pensions, healthcare, and disability assistance. Social welfare is a broader term covering all support systems. Social work is a profession that provides social services, while social reform refers to changes in society to improve social conditions.
Which of the following is major effect of “Vrikshasana” pose in Yoga?
Vrikshasana, also known as the tree pose, is primarily a balancing asana. It helps improve the sense of balance, stability, and focus. Though it may also strengthen the legs and enhance focus, the primary and major effect of this asana is the improvement in balance.
According to Piaget's stages of cognitive growth,‘emergence of language' is major hallmark of:
According to Piaget, the preoperational stage, which typically occurs between the ages of 2 to 7 years, is when children develop the capacity to use symbols, which is essential for language development. It's in this stage that language skills emerge significantly and symbolic play is common.
The action of biceps brachii muscle on the elbow joint is an example of which class/order of lever?
In a third-class lever system, the effort (or muscle force) is between the fulcrum (joint) and the load (resistance). In the case of the biceps brachii acting on the elbow joint, the elbow joint acts as the fulcrum, the biceps contraction provides the effort, and the weight of the forearm and hand represent the load. This configuration is a third-class lever.
The paralysis of the dorsiflexors of the foot will result in _________ of the affected extremity and there could be ________ during swing phase of gait.
Paralysis of the dorsiflexors results in a functional lengthening of the affected leg because the foot cannot be lifted adequately off the ground. This leads to compensatory mechanisms like increased knee and hip flexion during the swing phase to clear the foot from the ground, creating a high stepping gait.
The superior zygapophyseal facet in a typical lumbar vertebra faces _______ and the inferior zygapophyseal facet faces ________. Their orientation limits ________
In a typical lumbar vertebra, the superior articular facets face posteromedially, and the inferior articular facets face anterolaterally. The orientation of the facets primarily allows for flexion and extension but limits rotation in the lumbar region. This facet orientation enhances the stability and load-bearing capabilities of the lumbar spine while restricting excessive twisting.
Which of the following does not cause oedema?
Oedema (swelling) is primarily caused by fluid movement from the vasculature to the interstitial space. Factors like decreased plasma oncotic pressure (less proteins to hold fluid in vessels), increased capillary hydrostatic pressure (pushing fluid out), or lymphatic obstruction (not draining interstitial fluid properly) promote oedema. Decreased capillary permeability, conversely, would reduce the flow of fluids into the interstitial space, decreasing or preventing oedema.
Which of the following is the most important rate-limiting enzyme of the glycolysis pathway?
Phosphofructokinase (PFK) is the most important rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis. It catalyses the irreversible conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, and its activity is controlled by several factors, including ATP, AMP, and citrate. The other enzymes, while necessary for glycolysis, do not control the overall rate of the pathway.
______ is considered an essential component of a rehabilitation program to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury or re-injury during activities that involve high intensity deceleration and quick changes of direction.
Eccentric training, which involves muscle lengthening under load, is crucial for building the strength and stability necessary for high-intensity deceleration and quick changes of direction. It is particularly important for reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in activities that involve rapid movements and changes in direction. Concentric training mainly builds muscle, while isokinetic and isoinertial training have their own benefits but don't as specifically address high-intensity deceleration.
The corrective exercise for diastasis recti is:
Head lifts in the hook-lying position with manual approximation of the rectus abdominis is a gentle and effective method for correcting diastasis recti. It focuses on contracting the muscles to bring them closer, encouraging the linea alba to come together. The crossed arms help to support and enhance this movement. Other exercises, especially those involving lower abdominal work, may worsen the condition before its treatment.
The medial glide to the subtalar joint of the foot is used to increase:
A medial glide at the subtalar joint is a mobilization technique used to improve eversion of the foot. In biomechanics, subtalar eversion refers to the outward rotation of the sole of the foot. This motion occurs primarily at the subtalar joint, located between the talus and calcaneus bones. Conversely, a lateral glide is used to improve inversion.
Monophasic sinusoidal currents introduced by Pierre Bernard are called as:
Diadynamic currents, developed by Pierre Bernard, are monophasic sinusoidal currents characterized by their low frequency and specific waveforms. They are often used in electrotherapy for pain relief, muscle stimulation, and promoting tissue healing. High Voltage Pulsed Galvanic Stimulation (HVPGS), Galvanic and Faradic currents have different waveforms and frequencies.
During the application of cold packs, the skin temperature is usually around:
When applying cold packs, the desired therapeutic effect is typically achieved by lowering the skin temperature to a range between 5-10°C (41-50°F). This range effectively reduces inflammation, pain, and muscle spasm, while also minimizing tissue damage from excessive cooling.
In Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) therapy, E3 is:
In UVR therapy, the minimal erythema dose (MED) is classified from El to E4, depending on the required exposure level to achieve therapeutic results. E3 in UVR therapy is defined as 5 times the minimal erythema dose (E1).
Pressure is generally used to hasten scar maturation and to minimize scar hypertrophy during healing of burns. But it may not be required in the case of:
Pressure therapy is often used in the management of burn scars to help with scar maturation and reduce the risk of hypertrophic scar development. However, it is generally not needed for wounds that heal quickly (within 10-14 days), as the risk of hypertrophic scar formation is much lower in such cases. Conversely, if the scar is less than 6 months old, if skin is grafted over the wound or if the scar is still red then pressure therapy is required.
Recommendation for developing and maintaining cardiovascular fitness in healthy adults is:
Current guidelines recommend that healthy adults engage in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 20-60 minutes per day, 3-5 days per week. An RPE level of 12-16 is typically considered moderate intensity. This moderate-intensity is effective for improving and maintaining cardiovascular fitness. Exercising 5 days a week for longer durations or high intensity is not required for maintenance and also increases the chances of injury. Exercising 3 times a week for lesser duration is also not enough to maintain cardiovascular fitness.
Which of the following are NOT the age-related physiological changes:
Age-related physiological changes often include: Loss of motor neurons which lead to decreases in muscle strength, Reduction in the size and number of Fast twitch Type II fibres (which are responsible for high force and quick movements), and increase in non-contractile tissue (collagen), leading to muscle stiffness. Type 1 fibres which help in low force and sustained contraction show very little atrophy due to aging.
Which of the following is incorrect regarding Boutonniere deformity?
Boutonniere deformity is characterized by a flexion deformity at the Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) joint and hyperextension deformity at the Distal Interphalangeal (DIP) joint of the affected finger. In this deformity there is tear or rupture of the central slip of the extensor tendon. Mild cases can be managed using splints. Surgery is considered only for severe cases of total rupture.
In cervical Upper Crossed Syndrome:
Upper Crossed Syndrome is characterized by muscle imbalances in the neck and shoulder region. In this syndrome deep neck flexors, rhomboids and serratus anterior are typically weak and the pectoralis major, pectoralis minor and upper trapezius muscles are usually overactive. Additionally, the lower trapezius is weak.
The patient is lying prone. The examiner squeezes the calf muscles. The absence of platerflexion on squeezing calf muscles indicate:
When the calf muscles are squeezed while the patient is prone, the expected result is plantarflexion of the foot due to the action of the Achilles tendon. The absence of this plantarflexion suggests a rupture of the Achilles tendon, as this tendon is crucial for transmitting the force of the calf muscles to the foot.
A patient complains of light headedness, nausea and spinning vertigo while lying in bed, turning in bed and bending over to pick objects from floor. He also feels off balance while walking. He is most likely to have:
The symptoms described, including positional vertigo (triggered by lying down, turning in bed, or bending over) coupled with imbalance during walking is most consistent with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Migraine headaches cause other types of symptoms, Meniere's disease involves episodes of hearing loss and tinnitus, and vestibular neuritis typically causes continuous vertigo.
Cognition is assessed by testing the following:
(A). Fund of knowledge
(B). Agnosia
(C). Proverb interpretation
(D). Two Point Discrimination
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Cognitive assessments focus on a range of mental processes including memory, reasoning, perception, and language. Testing fund of knowledge and proverb interpretation help assess overall cognitive abilities, language and higher-level thinking. Agnosia refers to an impaired ability to recognize objects, people, or sounds, which is a test for sensory processing and recognition rather than general cognitive function. Two point discrimination test focuses on testing sensory functions and are not used to assess overall cognition.
Obligatory Flexor synergy components, observed in upper limb, following Stroke are:
Following a stroke, a common pattern of movement impairment is the flexor synergy in the upper limb. This pattern typically involves scapular retraction, shoulder abduction, external rotation, elbow flexion, forearm supination, and wrist and finger flexion. In contrast, the extensor synergy tends to involve scapular protraction, shoulder adduction, internal rotation, elbow extension, and forearm pronation.
The term, “tic douloureux" is used to indicate the sharp shooting pain on the face, is a result of affection of the following nerve:
"Tic douloureux" also known as trigeminal neuralgia, is characterized by episodes of intense, sharp, shooting pain on the face. This condition primarily affects the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), which is responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions like chewing. The facial nerve controls facial muscles, the trochlear nerve controls the superior oblique eye muscle, and the glossopharyngeal nerve controls throat muscles.
______ consists of repeated cycles of three ventilatory phases; breathing control, thoracic expansion exercises and forced expiration technique.
The Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT) is a method used for airway clearance and consists of repeated cycles of three ventilatory phases; breathing control, thoracic expansion exercises, and forced expiration technique. These exercises help mobilize and clear airway secretions and are most effective when performed in a specific cycle.
Which of the following intervention facilitates the removal of airway secretions collected centrally?
Suctioning is a direct method to remove airway secretions. It's particularly effective for secretions collected centrally because it applies direct suction pressure to clear the airways. Incentive spirometery, pursed-lip breathing, and manual percussion focus on mobilizing secretions peripherally towards larger airways, rather than direct removal of secretions from central airways.
The age related decline in the VO2 max can be offset by _______
Aerobic training, such as regular cardio exercise like running, swimming, or cycling, can increase the body's ability to take in and use oxygen (VO2 max). Aerobic training induces adaptations in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems that can offset the typical age related decline in aerobic capacity. The other interventions, meditation, relaxation training, and regular respiratory assessments, while being healthy do not directly increase or maintain VO2 max as effectively.
All these are absolute contra-indications to exercise testing except:
Absolute contraindications are conditions under which an exercise test should not be performed due to significant risk. Unstable angina, pulmonary oedema, and uncontrolled hypertension all represent absolute contraindications for an exercise test. A resting tachycardia in a stable patient, is not by itself, an absolute contraindication but it does indicate the need for caution and monitoring during an exercise test.
The _______ in plyometric training should be kept as brief as possible for maximum effect.
The amortization phase in plyometric training is the transition time between the eccentric loading and the concentric contraction of the muscle. To maximize the speed and power, it's crucial to keep this phase as short as possible. This brief transition allows for an efficient storage and release of elastic energy in the muscle-tendon unit, optimizing performance.
The following training feature after ACL reconstruction should be avoided:
After Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, open-chain quadriceps exercises between 90 and 60 degrees of knee flexion should be avoided during the early stages. This is because open chain exercises in this range can lead to anterior tibial translation, which places shear stress on the healing graft. Closed chain exercises, isometric exercises and continuous passive motion are beneficial in early ACL rehabilitation as these activities exert compressive forces in the knee joint.
Which of the following technique involves voluntary muscle contractions by the patient in a precisely controlled direction and intensity against a counterforce applied by the practitioner?
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is characterized by specific voluntary muscle contractions by the patient against a precisely controlled counterforce applied by the practitioner. This is used to reduce muscle hypertonicity and joint restrictions. While Rhythmic initiation, neuromuscular stimulation and Active stretching technique are all mobilization procedures but they are not defined by voluntary contractions by the patient against a counterforce applied by the practitioner.
Affective psychotic disorders include which one of the following?
Schizophrenia is an affective psychotic disorder characterized by psychosis, disturbed thought processes, and emotional dysfunction. Delusional disorder involves non-bizarre delusions. Bipolar disorders are primarily mood disorders and mental retardation, is a neurodevelopmental condition that doesn't involve psychosis.
Which of the following is a non-modifiable risk factor for development of COPD?
Non-modifiable risk factors are those that cannot be changed, such as age. The other options (tobacco smoking, exposure to fumes, biomass fuel) are modifiable risk factors as individuals can change them. Increasing age is a primary non-modifiable risk factor for COPD as with age the lung structure and function changes over time.
Lepra bacilli was detected by:

In the context of outcome measures, ________ is the degree to which an outcome is measuring what it purports to measure.
Validity refers to the extent to which a measurement tool (like an outcome measure) assesses what it intends to assess. If a test is valid, it measures the concept it claims to measure. Reliability is consistency of the measurement, responsiveness indicates ability to detect clinically meaningful changes, and internal consistency assesses inter correlations of items on a test.
A therapist categorizes the patients visiting his clinic according to their blood groups- A, B, AB and O. This is an example of:
Nominal level measurement involves categorizing data into mutually exclusive categories, such as blood types, without any inherent order or ranking. Ordinal level measurement involves a ranking of the variables, ratio level involves a true zero point and interval level involves equal intervals between the units. In this example, blood groups have no specific order or numerical relation among themselves.
Evidence Based Medicine involves:
Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) integrates best available evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences. It is a tripartite model, focusing on scientific validity and individual needs. EBM doesn't just focus on expert opinion, research evidence or case-control studies but on all these three factors combined.
"Equal distribution to all members of a group” comes under the following Moral Principle:
The principle of justice focuses on fairness in distribution of resources. Equal distribution to all members of a group is an application of this principle. Beneficence is acting in the best interest of the patient, Autonomy respects patients' rights to decide for themselves and nonmaleficence means avoiding harm.

Translation movements between two adjacent vertebrae include:
(A). Side to side translation in the frontal plane
(B). Side to side translation in the sagittal plane
(C). Anterior posterior translation in the sagittal plane
(D). Anterior posterior translation in the frontal plane
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Translation (linear) movements between vertebrae are described as side to side movements in the frontal (A) and side to side movements in sagittal planes (B). This can also be thought of as sideways or lateral movement between two vertebrae. These movements are restricted by the facet joints and surrounding ligaments. Anterior posterior motion would result in forward and backward movement of one vertebra over the other and is not a form of translation.
How rapidly a muscle can develop maximal tension is determined by:
(A). Type of muscle fibers in the motor units
(B). The length of the muscle fibers
(C). Size of the motor units
(D). Fiber arrangement
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
The rate of maximal tension development of a muscle is most greatly influenced by the type of muscle fibers (fast-twitch vs. slow-twitch fibers) and the length of the muscle fibers. Size of motor units and fiber arrangement affects the force production in a muscle, rather than rate of tension development.
