  1. A PEAT question asks about a patient with Parkinson's disease. Which intervention approach has the STRONGEST evidence for improving gait?

    Answer: LSVT BIG program

    The LSVT BIG program has strong evidence for improving gait, balance, and functional mobility in patients with Parkinson's disease through high-amplitude movement training.

  2. On the PEAT, a patient has a stage III pressure ulcer. Which physical therapy intervention is MOST appropriate?

    Answer: Electrical stimulation for wound healing

    Electrical stimulation has strong evidence for promoting wound healing in stage III pressure ulcers by enhancing tissue perfusion and cellular proliferation.

  3. A PEAT scenario describes a patient with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Which intervention has BEST evidence for pain reduction?

    Answer: Patellar taping combined with exercise

    Patellar taping (McConnell technique) combined with quadriceps and hip strengthening exercise has the best evidence for reducing patellofemoral pain.

  4. In a PEAT item, a stroke patient demonstrates decreased ankle dorsiflexion during swing phase. Which intervention BEST addresses foot drop?

    Answer: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) to tibialis anterior

    FES applied to the tibialis anterior during the swing phase directly facilitates dorsiflexion to correct foot drop in stroke patients.

  5. A PEAT question involves a patient with rotator cuff tendinopathy. Which loading strategy is MOST supported by current evidence?

    Answer: Isometric loading progressing to isotonic exercise

    Progressive tendon loading starting with isometric exercise and advancing to isotonic activities is the most evidence-based approach for rotator cuff tendinopathy.

  6. On the PEAT, a patient with lymphedema of the upper extremity needs intervention. What is the CORRECT order of complete decongestive therapy (CDT)?

    Answer: Manual lymphatic drainage → compression bandaging → exercise

    CDT follows the sequence of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) first to mobilize fluid, then multilayer compression bandaging, followed by therapeutic exercise.
