✍️ Sample CCEP Questions & Answers
1. The 'Farfan torsion' or rotational thrust applied at the hip most effectively restores which restricted motion?
The Farfan rotational technique specifically targets internal rotation restriction in the flexed hip by applying a rotational thrust in that direction.
2. Which manipulation technique is most appropriate for a hypomobile subtalar joint with calcaneal varus positioning?
A calcaneal varus with subtalar hypomobility responds best to an HVLA thrust directed into eversion to restore pronation motion.
3. A Bankart lesion is best characterized on shoulder MRI as which finding?
A Bankart lesion is a detachment of the anterior inferior glenoid labrum from the glenoid rim, typically resulting from anterior shoulder dislocation.
4. Which elbow test assesses for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) by resisting wrist extension with the elbow extended?
Cozen's Test resists wrist extension with the elbow in extension, stressing the ECRB origin at the lateral epicondyle and reproducing lateral elbow pain in tennis elbow.
5. What is the role of informed consent in lower extremity treatment?
Informed consent ensures patients understand the proposed interventions, alternatives, risks, and benefits before agreeing to proceed.
6. When performing the anterior drawer test of the ankle, the examiner stabilizes the distal tibia and draws the calcaneus anteriorly at which ankle position?
Slight plantarflexion (10–15 degrees) positions the ATFL perpendicular to the tibia, maximizing its contribution to ankle stability and test sensitivity.
