Sample Rehabilitation Therapist (China) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Rehabilitation Therapist (China) exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A patient presents with 'wrist drop' (垂腕) and loss of sensation over the first dorsal interosseous space following a mid-shaft humeral fracture. Which peripheral nerve is most likely damaged?

A.Median nerve (正中神经)

B.Radial nerve (桡神经)

C.Ulnar nerve (尺神经)

D.Axillary nerve (腋神经)

Explanation: The radial nerve runs in the spiral groove (radial groove) along the mid-shaft of the humerus. Fractures at this level frequently injure the radial nerve, paralyzing the wrist and finger extensors (causing characteristic wrist drop 垂腕) and causing sensory loss over the dorsal aspect of the first web space.

2During a muscle contraction test, the therapist observes that muscle tension develops but the joint angle and overall muscle length remain unchanged. Which type of muscle contraction is being performed?

A.Concentric isotonic contraction (向心性等张收缩)

B.Eccentric isotonic contraction (离心性等张收缩)

C.Isometric contraction (等长收缩)

D.Isokinetic contraction (等速收缩)

Explanation: An isometric contraction (等长收缩 / 静力性收缩) is defined as muscle activation where internal muscle tension increases while external muscle length and joint angle remain constant, producing zero external mechanical work.

3In biomechanics, the human elbow flexion performed by the biceps brachii muscle operating against a handheld load represents which class of mechanical lever?

A.Third-class lever (第3类杠杆 / 速度杠杆)

B.First-class lever (第1类杠杆 / 平衡杠杆)

C.Second-class lever (第2类杠杆 / 省力杠杆)

D.Fourth-class lever (第4类杠杆)

Explanation: In elbow flexion, the fulcrum is at the humeroulnar joint, the effort force is applied at the radial tuberosity (insertion of biceps brachii), and the load is in the hand. Because the effort force lies between the fulcrum and the load, it is a third-class lever (第3类杠杆), designed for speed and range of motion at the expense of mechanical force advantage.

4Which of the following muscles is a member of the rotator cuff (肩袖肌群) and is primarily responsible for initiating the first 0° to 15° of glenohumeral abduction?

A.Infraspinatus (冈下肌)

B.Subscapularis (肩胛下肌)

C.Teres minor (小圆肌)

D.Supraspinatus (冈上肌)

Explanation: The rotator cuff consists of four muscles (SITS: Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor, Subscapularis). The supraspinatus (冈上肌) initiates shoulder abduction from 0° to 15° and stabilizes the humeral head against the glenoid cavity before the deltoid muscle becomes the prime mover.

5A neonate with traction injury to the upper trunk of the brachial plexus (C5-C6 roots / Erb-Duchenne palsy 臂丛上干损伤) typically displays which classic posture of the affected upper limb?

A.Arm hanging by the side, internally rotated, elbow extended, and forearm pronated ('Waiter's tip' posture / 侍者小费手)

B.Claw hand deformity with MCP hyperextension and IP flexion (爪形手)

C.Ape hand deformity with thenar atrophy and thumb adduction (猿手)

D.Wrist drop with inability to extend MCP joints (垂腕)

Explanation: Upper brachial plexus injury (Erb-Duchenne palsy, C5-C6 roots) paralyzes the deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, biceps brachii, and brachioradialis. Loss of abduction, external rotation, flexion, and supination leaves the arm hanging internally rotated, elbow extended, and forearm pronated—the classic 'waiter's tip' posture (侍者小费样体位).

6During short-duration, maximal-intensity sprint exercise lasting less than 10 seconds, which energy metabolism system serves as the primary immediate source of ATP resynthesis?

A.Anaerobic lactic glycolytic system (乳酸能系统 / 糖酵解系统)

B.ATP-CP phosphagen system (磷酸原系统 / 磷酸肌酸系统)

C.Aerobic oxidative system (有氧氧化系统)

D.Beta-oxidation of free fatty acids (脂肪酸β氧化)

Explanation: The ATP-CP phosphagen system (磷酸原系统) provides immediate energy without oxygen by utilizing intramuscular ATP and stored creatine phosphate (CP). It produces energy at the fastest rate but is depleted within 6 to 10 seconds of maximal exertion.

7In a patient presenting with Brown-Séquard syndrome (脊髓半切综合征) resulting from a right-sided hemisection of the thoracic spinal cord at T8, which sensory deficits will be observed below the level of the lesion?

A.Bilateral loss of pain and temperature sensation with preserved proprioception (双侧痛温觉丧失而深感觉保留)

B.Ipsilateral loss of pain/temperature and contralateral loss of proprioception/vibration (同侧痛温觉及对侧深感觉丧失)

C.Ipsilateral loss of proprioception/vibration and contralateral loss of pain/temperature sensation (同侧深感觉及对侧痛温觉丧失)

D.Contralateral loss of all sensory modalities including touch, vibration, and temperature (对侧所有感觉完全丧失)

Explanation: In Brown-Séquard syndrome (脊髓半切综合征), the dorsal columns (fasciculus gracilis/cuneatus) ascend uncrossed and decussate in the medulla, causing ipsilateral loss of proprioception, vibration, and fine touch below the lesion. The spinothalamic tract decussates within 1-2 spinal segments, causing contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation below the lesion.

8During single-leg stance on the right lower extremity, the patient's left pelvis drops downward. This positive Trendelenburg sign (杜氏征阳性) indicates weakness or paralysis of which muscle on the stance side?

A.Left gluteus medius (左侧臀中肌)

B.Right gluteus maximus (右侧臀大肌)

C.Left iliopsoas (左侧髂腰肌)

D.Right gluteus medius (右侧臀中肌)

Explanation: During single-limb stance, the stance-side gluteus medius and minimus (臀中肌、臀小肌) contract to abduct the hip and keep the contralateral unsupported pelvis level. Weakness of the right gluteus medius causes the contralateral (left) pelvis to drop downward, termed a positive right Trendelenburg sign.

9Carpal tunnel syndrome (腕管综合征) is caused by compression of which neural structure beneath the flexor retinaculum (屈肌支持带 / 腕横韧带)?

A.Median nerve (正中神经)

B.Ulnar nerve (尺神经)

C.Radial nerve superficial branch (桡神经浅支)

D.Musculocutaneous nerve (肌皮神经)

Explanation: The carpal tunnel is an inelastic fibro-osseous canal bounded by the carpal bones and flexor retinaculum. It contains nine flexor tendons (4 FDS, 4 FDP, 1 FPL) and the median nerve (正中神经). Compression of the median nerve produces numbness in the thumb, index, middle, and radial half of the ring finger and thenar muscle atrophy.

10Which of the following physiological characteristics is correct regarding Type I skeletal muscle fibers (慢肌纤维 / 红肌纤维)?

A.High glycolytic enzyme content, rapid contraction velocity, and low fatigue resistance (高糖酵解酶活性、快速收缩、易疲劳)

B.High mitochondrial density, rich capillary supply, and high fatigue resistance (高线粒体密度、丰富毛细血管、高抗疲劳性)

C.Low myoglobin content and primary dependence on anaerobic phosphagen metabolism (低肌红蛋白含量、依赖无氧代谢)

D.Fast myosin ATPase activity designed specifically for high-velocity explosive power (高肌球蛋白ATP酶活性、专用于爆发力)

Explanation: Type I slow-twitch muscle fibers (慢肌纤维 / 慢氧化型) are rich in myoglobin, mitochondria, and oxidative enzymes, surrounded by dense capillary networks. They contract relatively slowly with low peak force but possess exceptionally high fatigue resistance, making them ideal for postural control and endurance.

Rehabilitation Therapist (China) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Memorize Lovett MMT 6-grade criteria: Grade 0 (no contraction), Grade 1 (trace palpable contraction, no joint motion), Grade 2 (full ROM with gravity eliminated), Grade 3 (full ROM against gravity, no resistance), Grade 4 (full ROM against moderate resistance), Grade 5 (full ROM against maximal normal resistance).

2Master the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for spasticity: Grade 0 (no increase), Grade 1 (slight increase, catch and release at end ROM), Grade 1+ (slight increase, catch followed by minimal resistance through <1/2 ROM), Grade 2 (marked increase through most ROM, easily moved), Grade 3 (considerable increase, passive movement difficult), Grade 4 (rigid in flexion or extension).

3Know Brunnstrom 6 recovery stages in stroke hemiplegia: Stage 1 (flaccidity, no movement), Stage 2 (spasticity begins, basic synergy components appear as associated reactions), Stage 3 (peak spasticity, voluntary movement entirely within synergy), Stage 4 (spasticity declines, movement combinations out of synergy begin), Stage 5 (more difficult isolated movement combinations out of synergy), Stage 6 (individual joint movements near normal, spasticity resolved).

4Understand Barthel Index scoring (0–100 points): 10 items (feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel control, bladder control, toilet use, chair/bed transfers, walking/mobility, stair climbing). Total score ≤20 indicates total dependence, 21–40 severe dependence, 41–60 moderate dependence, >60 mild dependence / basic independence in daily life.

5Drill spinal cord injury functional independence key levels: C4 (ventilator-dependent / diaphragm intact), C5 (biceps intact, elbow flexion, electric wheelchair), C6 (tenodesis grasp via wrist extensor extensor carpi radialis, transfers with board), C7 (triceps intact, independent manual wheelchair and transfers), T1-T6 (upper trunk control, autonomic dysreflexia above T6), L2-L4 (quadriceps intact, community ambulation with KAFO/AFO).

6Differentiate classical aphasia syndromes: Broca (non-fluent, good comprehension, impaired repetition), Wernicke (fluent, poor comprehension, impaired repetition, paraphasias), Conduction (fluent, good comprehension, severely impaired repetition), Transcortical Motor (non-fluent, good comprehension, preserved repetition), Global (severe impairment across all modalities).
