Occupational Therapy Foundations Pre-Test Questions
Course Introduction
Occupational Therapy Foundations introduces students to the core principles, history, and philosophies underlying the field of occupational therapy. This course explores the fundamental concepts of human occupation, the importance of meaningful activity in daily life, and the occupational therapy process across different settings and populations. Students will gain an understanding of the professional roles, ethical standards, and collaborative practices that shape the discipline, as well as the theoretical frameworks and models that guide clinical reasoning and intervention planning. This foundational knowledge prepares students for advanced study and practice in occupational therapy.

Q1) When you raise a cup to your mouth,a ________________of motion occurs at the elbow joint.
A) rotation only
B) translation only
C) translation and rotation
D) None of the above answers are correct.
Answer: C
Q2) How do you determine the net effect of two muscle pulls applied to the same spot? What is this process called?
Answer: You find the resultant pull of the two forces by drawing the two forces,creating a parallelogram by adding sides parallel to each of the forces,and drawing a diagonal within the parallelogram.The resultant is the diagonal with its point of application at the original source and whose arrow head (limit of magnitude)is at the opposite corner of the parallelogram.This is called composition of forces.
Q3) The relative line of gravity changes with changes in body position.
A)True
B)False
Answer: True

Q1) Increasing the rate of application of a force causes a ligament to ____________________.
A) store less energy to failure
B) require more force to rupture
C) decrease stiffness
D) elongate more
Answer: B
Q2) As a clinician,you are attempting to produce permanent elongation in a severely contracted flexor digitorum profundus tendon.Which of the following general strategies concerning treatment will be least effective in achieving permanent lengthening of the tendon?
A) Apply force slowly to decrease the stiffness of the tendon.
B) Apply a short duration force,keeping the force in the elastic range.
C) Apply enough force to cause microfailure of some fibers in the tendon.
D) Use a splint that will apply a low load to the tendon (at the beginning of the elastic range)for 3 weeks.

Sample Questions
Q1) What must happen before a motor unit will fire (discharge)? What occurs immediately after discharge of the motor unit?
Answer: In order for a motor unit to discharge,there must be sufficient facilitation (buildup of charges)at the anterior horn cell (AHC).Once threshold is reached,an impulse is conducted down the axon and all innervated fibers contract.Immediately after firing and fiber contraction,the motor unit goes through latency,or a refractory period,during which depolarization cannot occur.
Q2) The complete sarcomere unit lies within the boundaries of the ____________________.
A) Z disks
B) A bands
C) H zone
D) M band
Answer: A
Q3) What is tenodesis? Give an example.
Answer: Tenodesis,or tendon action,occurs when a passive muscle is pulled upon and passively creates a joint motion.The classical example is when the wrist is flexed,with the relaxed fingers open because of the passive tension created in the stretched finger extensors.
