PEAT PEAT Therapeutic Interventions

Question 1

A PEAT question describes a patient post-ACL reconstruction at 6 weeks. Which therapeutic intervention is MOST appropriate at this stage?

Accepted Answer

Closed kinetic chain exercises

Answer

Closed kinetic chain exercises are recommended at 6 weeks post-ACL reconstruction to safely load the graft while promoting neuromuscular control.

Question 2

In a PEAT scenario, a patient with chronic low back pain benefits most from which evidence-based intervention?

Accepted Answer

Therapeutic exercise and education

Answer

Current evidence supports therapeutic exercise combined with patient education as the most effective intervention for chronic low back pain.

Question 3

A PEAT item asks about a patient with adhesive capsulitis. Which mobilization technique is MOST indicated for improving external rotation?

Accepted Answer

Posterior glide of the humeral head

Answer

A posterior glide of the humeral head is used to improve glenohumeral external rotation by addressing the restricted posterior capsule.

Question 4

On the PEAT, a patient with COPD is referred for pulmonary rehabilitation. Which intervention parameter is MOST critical to monitor during exercise?

Accepted Answer

Oxygen saturation and perceived exertion

Answer

Monitoring oxygen saturation (SpO2) and perceived exertion (RPE) ensures safe exercise intensity and prevents dangerous hypoxemia in COPD patients.

Question 5

A PEAT question involves ultrasound therapy. Which tissue healing phase is thermal ultrasound MOST beneficial for?

Accepted Answer

Both proliferative and remodeling phases

Answer

Thermal ultrasound enhances collagen synthesis and tissue extensibility, making it most beneficial during the proliferative and remodeling phases of healing.
