Sample CMMR Medicina de Rehabilitación Practice Questions
Try these sample questions to review concepts for the CMMR Medicina de Rehabilitación exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.
1A 58-year-old patient who suffered an ischemic stroke 4 weeks ago is evaluated in the rehabilitation clinic. On examination of the paretic upper limb, severe spasticity is present and the patient can voluntarily produce gross flexor synergy of the elbow and fingers, but cannot perform any isolated, voluntary joint movements outside this synergy. According to the Brunnstrom stages of motor recovery, which stage is this patient in?
2A 62-year-old stroke patient presents with inferior subluxation of the hemiplegic shoulder and early neuropathic ache. Which therapeutic intervention is supported by clinical rehabilitation evidence to prevent worsening of the subluxation and reduce pain during acute flaccid recovery?
3A physiatrist plans to inject botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) for focal spasticity of the flexor digitorum profundus and sublimis in a chronic hemiparetic patient. What is the molecular mechanism of action and typical timeframe to peak clinical effect for BoNT-A?
4A 34-year-old patient with an intrathecal baclofen (ITB) pump for severe lower limb spasticity is brought to the emergency department with acute agitation, delirium, high fever (39.8°C), severe rebound spasticity, rigidity, and autonomic instability. The pump reservoir was refilled 5 days ago. What is the most critical clinical condition to recognize and manage immediately?
5A traumatic brain injury patient is assessed on the Rancho Los Amigos Levels of Cognitive Functioning Scale. The patient is awake and in a heightened state of activity, displays bizarre and non-purposeful behavior relative to the immediate environment, is unable to cooperate with direct treatment efforts, and lacks short- and long-term recall. Which Rancho Los Amigos level describes this behavior?
6A patient recovering from a traumatic brain injury is able to perform daily routines automatically like a robot with minimal confusion, shows shallow recall of events, and displays impaired judgment and unrealistic future planning. Which Rancho Los Amigos level corresponds to this clinical state?
7In evaluating recovery after closed traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) duration is a key prognostic indicator. According to the Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test (GOAT) and Russell's classification, what is the prognostic significance of a PTA duration exceeding 4 weeks?
8A 24-year-old patient with severe diffuse axonal injury demonstrates episodic paroxysms of profuse diaphoresis, tachycardia (140 bpm), tachypnea, hypertension (180/100 mmHg), and extensor posturing triggered by endotracheal suctioning. Which condition is present, and which pharmacological agent is recommended for long-term control of this syndrome?
9At what neurological level of spinal cord injury does autonomic dysreflexia typically become a potential life-threatening complication?
10A 28-year-old male with a complete T4 spinal cord injury suddenly develops a throbbing headache, blurred vision, cutaneous flushing above T4, and blood pressure of 190/110 mmHg with a heart rate of 52 bpm. What is the immediate first action the rehabilitation physician must perform?
About the CMMR Medicina de Rehabilitación Exam
Independent study practice by OpenExamPrep for the certification in Medicina de Rehabilitación (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) awarded by the Consejo Mexicano de Medicina de Rehabilitación, A.C. (CMMR), a CONACEM-recognized specialty council. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation built from the clinical areas the specialty covers; it is not an official translation or simulation of the Spanish-language CMMR examinations, and it does not cover the practical exam.
Exam sponsor: Consejo Mexicano de Medicina de Rehabilitación, A.C. (CMMR). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
The CMMR certification has two stages. First, a written theoretical clinical-decision exam (examen teórico – decisión clínica) is taken in person at the Centro de Evaluación Automatizado Tlatelolco (CEAT-UNAM) in Mexico City. Candidates who pass it then sit a practical exam at the Hospital Central Militar the next day. Applicants also upload their residency theoretical-practical result to SIGME. The council does not publish an item count, time limit, pass mark or topic weights.
