You are treating a 22-year-old athlete for a left hamstring strain. The patient’s pain goes from the ischial tuberosity and crosses the knee joint. You elect to perform IASTM, but the patient afterwards asks if their leg/skin was normally ‘supposed to look like that’ following the treatment. Which examples are an indication that your treatment was too aggressive when using IASTM?”
Answers:
A) Welts, bruising, petechia
B) Bruising, rash, welts
C) Bruising, blisters, skin ulcers
D) Welts, bruising, adhesions
A) Welts, bruising, petechia
Changed from C to A.
This is right based on notes IASTM-1
During your assessment of musculoskeletal injury of a patient, you are going to apply treatments of IASTM and dry needling. The patient is experiencing symptoms at the lateral epicondyle and ligaments of the elbow, in the muscle bellies of the extensor muscles (including triceps). You have also noticed significant postural changes and correction alleviates pain. Which type of trigger point is not a type that is being displayed here in the patient presentation?”
A) Diffuse trigger points
B) Attachment trigger points
C) Ligamentous trigger points
D) Latent trigger points
A) Diffuse trigger points
This is right based on notes Application of trigger point identification for dry needling module 6 sync
“______ strokes are applied perpendicular to fibers (mostly to tendons, musculo-tendinous junctions, capsules, and ligaments) where tendinosis, chronic inflammation, and/or structural dysfunction has occurred.”
A) Cross-friction
B) Warming/pre-treatment
C) Effleurage
D) Diagnostic scanning
A) Cross-friction
This is right based on notes IASTM-1
A basketball player is referred to a physical therapist with a diagnosis of quadriceps muscle contusion. The injury occurred 24 hours earlier when the player was struck in the thigh by an opponent’s knee. It is currently too tender to implement IASTM or dry needling. Which intervention is contraindicated currently?”
Answers:
A) Isometric quadriceps femoris exercises
B) Ice baths
C) Aggressive quadriceps femoris stretching
D) Knee and hip range of motion in a pain-free range
C) Aggressive quadriceps femoris stretching
You have a patient presenting with bilateral low back erector spinae spasm. Your palpation indicates the long bands of muscles on each side of the spine would benefit from IASTM. You identify that a deep fascial manipulation type of stroke would be most indicated for muscles of the bilateral spine. Regarding your IASTM tool, ______ edges are useful for performing deep fascial manipulation type strokes, performing strokes over sensitive tissue, or performing deep pressure strokes without causing the patient pain.”
A) Large radius
B) Medium radius
C) Flat radius
D) Small radius
A) Large radius
This is right based on the notes iastm-1
“An adult patient sustained an elbow dislocation while completing a military obstacle course eight weeks ago and continues to have limited elbow flexion. You have implemented dry needling and IASTM during the more acute phase but now would like to utilize mobilization techniques to enhance ROM. Which joint mobilization technique is best to improve elbow flexion?”
A) Posterior glide of the radial head on the humerus
B) Lateral glide of the radial head on the humerus
C) Medial glide of the radial head on the humerus
D) Anterior glide of the radial head on the humerus
D) Anterior glide of the radial head on the humerus
This is right based on Arthokinemmatics class on brainscape
A patient presents to physical therapy with a complaint of anterior knee pain. There was no history of trauma associated with the onset of the pain. The patient interview and physical examination are consistent with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Which of the following is the best intervention based on the evidence for most patients with PFPS?”
A) Running gait retraining
B) Patellofemoral knee orthoses
C) Exercise targeting hip and knee muscles for strengthening and proper tracking
D) Patellar taping and quadriceps dry needling
C) Exercise targeting hip and knee muscles for strengthening and proper tracking
Upon your examination of a patient with lateral epicondylitis, you have elected to utilize dry needling along the radial nerve distribution. In making your plan for dry needling sites, it is necessary to recall the radial nerve distribution. The radial nerve innervates all the following muscles except:”
Answers:
A) Extensor carpi radialis longus
B) Extensor pollicis longus
C) Pronator quadratus
D) Abductor pollicis longus
C) Pronator quadratus

A 51-year-old professional pickleball player comes in with a suspected injury to the left hamstring area. Which injury would prevent you from doing the IASTM treatment based on the specific injury findings?”
Answers:
A) Site of acute tendon or ligament swelling, bruising, and redness
B) Pain and tenderness near the iliotibial band
C) Tenderness to palpation in identified trigger points of the hamstring
D) Localized spasm in the muscle belly
A) Site of acute tendon or ligament swelling, bruising, and redness
This is right based on notes IASTM-1
You are working with a patient who had a mallet finger injury of their second digit after falling during a basketball game 10 weeks ago. The tendon is healed and the splint was removed at 8 weeks post-injury. The patient reports the joint feels stiff and exhibits limited flexion and extension at the DIP of their second phalanx. Which type of tool would be most appropriate to address the capsule and ligamentous structures of the DIP joint to assist in improving stiffness and flexibility?”
Answers:
A) Myo-Bar for large targets
B) Detail Tool for fine anatomic targets
C) S Tool for small targets
D) Trigger Point Tool for medium targets
B) Detail Tool for fine anatomic targets
This is right based on Notes IASTM-1
“IASTM is shown to impact physiological changes by increasing blood flow, reducing tissue viscosity, fostering myofascial release between tissue layers, and which other effect?”
Answers:
A) Increases the rate of healing
B) Reduces substance P
C) Interrupts activation of pain receptors
D) Interrupts the twitch response
C) Interrupts activation of pain receptors
Changed from b to c
This is right based on notes IASTM-1
What is the name of the IASTM tool technique being described? ‘______ is used with light pressure and applied in a slow manner in long strokes around the area of concern to make use of a tool’s ability to “amplify” palpation of tissue topography under the skin.’”
Answers:
A) Diagnostic scanning
B) Cross-friction
C) Effleurage
D) Warming/pre-treatment
A) Diagnostic scanning
