PRC Risk Assessment & Mitigation 2

Question 1

Which finding during initial postural assessment represents an absolute contraindication for PRI repositioning techniques?

Accepted Answer

Recent vertebral fracture

Answer

Recent vertebral fractures are an absolute contraindication because PRI repositioning could cause further injury to structurally compromised bone.

Question 2

A patient reports dizziness while performing diaphragmatic breathing exercises. What is the most appropriate immediate action?

Accepted Answer

Stop the exercise and assess for hyperventilation

Answer

Dizziness during diaphragmatic breathing may indicate hyperventilation syndrome, requiring immediate cessation and assessment before continuing.

Question 3

Which patient history factor most increases the risk of adverse response to PRI inhibition and repositioning techniques?

Accepted Answer

Severe osteoporosis

Answer

Severe osteoporosis increases fracture risk during any repositioning or loading technique, requiring significant modification of PRI interventions.

Question 4

When screening a patient for PRI intervention, which cardiovascular finding requires medical clearance before initiating treatment?

Accepted Answer

Exertional chest pain that resolves with rest

Answer

Exertional chest pain that resolves with rest may indicate angina and necessitates medical evaluation before any therapeutic exercise is introduced.

Question 5

A positive Active Straight Leg Raise (ASLR) test combined with pelvic asymmetry most suggests which clinical risk?

Accepted Answer

Lumbopelvic instability requiring modified exercise positioning

Answer

A positive ASLR with pelvic asymmetry indicates lumbopelvic load transfer dysfunction, requiring modified exercise positioning to safely progress PRI treatment.
