II True or False questions (4 points)
First, indicate if the statement is true or false, then EXPLAIN WHY if the statement is false.
1. Ligament injuries of the knee may have poorer prognosis compared to fracture of the humerus.
True. Because ligaments never heal soundly or regain their normal strength, as bone does.
(1/2 point)
2. Physical therapy following an anterior cruciate ligament injury should focus on building the
False. Physical therapy should focus on building strength of the hamstring because the hamstring
3. Wasting and paralysis of the thenar muscles is a sign of ulnar nerve palsy.
False. Due to median nerve palsy because the median nerve supply the thenar muscles. (1 point)
5. Braces that have hinges to allow movement cause delayed union of the fracture.
False. Functional bracing promotes union by improving the area’s blood supply as a result of
movement. (1 point)
