Sample EGEL Plus Fisioterapia Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the EGEL Plus Fisioterapia exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1When measuring knee flexion with a universal goniometer, where is the goniometer axis (fulcrum) placed?
A.Over the head of the fibula
B.Over the tibial tuberosity
C.Over the lateral femoral epicondyle
D.Over the inferior pole of the patella
Explanation: For knee flexion the axis is centered over the lateral epicondyle of the femur. The stationary arm follows the femur toward the greater trochanter and the moving arm follows the fibula toward the lateral malleolus.
2What end-feel is normal at the end of passive knee flexion in a healthy adult?
A.Soft, from approximation of the thigh and calf
B.Hard, from bone-on-bone contact
C.Empty, because pain stops the movement
D.Springy block, from a loose body in the joint
Explanation: Knee flexion normally ends with a soft end-feel as the posterior thigh and calf muscles meet. In a thin person it may feel firmer, from tension in the quadriceps.
3In manual muscle testing (Daniels and Worthingham), what does grade 3 (fair) mean?
A.A flicker of contraction with no joint movement
B.Full range of motion with gravity eliminated
C.Full range against gravity and moderate resistance
D.Full range against gravity, no added resistance
Explanation: Grade 3 is the ability to complete the full available range against gravity but not against added resistance. Grades 4 and 5 add moderate and maximal resistance; grade 2 is full range with gravity eliminated.
4Which nerve roots does the patellar (quadriceps) reflex mainly test?
A.C5 and C6
B.L3 and L4
C.L5
D.S1 and S2
Explanation: The patellar reflex runs through the femoral nerve and mainly tests the L3 and L4 roots, especially L4. A reduced reflex with anterior thigh pain suggests an L3 or L4 radiculopathy.
5A patient with low back pain reports numbness over the dorsum of the foot and the first web space, with weak great-toe extension. Which root is most likely affected?
A.L3
B.L5
C.L4
D.S1
Explanation: The L5 dermatome covers the dorsum of the foot and the first web space, and its key muscle is the extensor hallucis longus. This pattern is typical of an L4-L5 disc herniation compressing the L5 root.
6Stroking the lateral sole of a patient's foot produces extension of the great toe and fanning of the other toes. What does this indicate?
A.A normal plantar response in an adult
B.A lesion of the tibial or sural nerve
C.A lower motor neuron lesion of the foot
D.An upper motor neuron lesion
Explanation: Great-toe extension with fanning of the toes is the Babinski sign, which indicates damage to the corticospinal tract (upper motor neuron). It is normal only in infants during the first months of life.
7On passive elbow extension, the therapist feels a catch followed by minimal resistance through less than half of the remaining range. What is the Modified Ashworth grade?
A.1+
B.1
C.2
D.3
Explanation: Grade 1+ is a slight increase in tone shown by a catch followed by minimal resistance through less than half of the remaining range. Grade 1 is a catch and release or minimal resistance only at the end of range.
8A patient stands steadily with the eyes open but sways and nearly falls when the eyes are closed (positive Romberg test). What does this suggest?
A.Cerebellar ataxia
B.Vestibular neuritis limited to one ear
C.Sensory ataxia from loss of proprioception
D.Hip abductor weakness
Explanation: The Romberg test removes vision; if balance fails only then, the patient depends on vision to compensate for lost proprioception from the dorsal columns or peripheral nerves. In cerebellar ataxia the patient is unsteady even with the eyes open.
9Which special test is most commonly used to assess the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament?
A.McMurray test
B.Thomas test
C.Ober test
D.Lachman test
Explanation: The Lachman test, performed at about 20 to 30 degrees of knee flexion, assesses anterior tibial translation and is the most sensitive clinical test for ACL rupture.
10During single-leg stance on the right leg, the left side of the pelvis drops. What does this positive Trendelenburg sign indicate?
A.Weakness of the left gluteus medius muscle
B.Weakness of the right gluteus medius
C.Tightness of the right iliopsoas
D.Weakness of the left quadriceps
Explanation: The gluteus medius of the stance leg keeps the pelvis level. If the right abductors are weak, the pelvis drops on the opposite (left, swing) side during right single-leg stance.

About the EGEL Plus Fisioterapia Exam

Independent EGEL Plus Fisioterapia practice by OpenExamPrep. The official Ceneval examination is in Spanish and has 200 items, mostly three-option multiple choice: 140 disciplinary items in Evaluación y diagnóstico, Intervención fisioterapéutica and Promoción de la salud, and 60 transversal Lenguaje y Comunicación items. This bank is an English-language study adaptation with four-option multiple-choice questions, not an official translation or format simulation. It covers the three disciplinary areas only; it does not include Lenguaje y Comunicación items, and it cannot assess hands-on clinical skills.

EGEL Plus Fisioterapia: Suggested Study Strategy

1Review assessment procedures: goniometry landmarks, manual muscle testing grades, reflexes, dermatomes and myotomes, and the main orthopedic special tests.
2Practice clinical reasoning with functional scales (Berg, Timed Up and Go, Barthel, FIM, Tinetti) and the ICF framework, and learn the red flags that require referral.
3Study exercise prescription: contraction types, progressive resistance, Karvonen and Borg intensity, and protocols for tendinopathy, joint replacement and ACL reconstruction.
4Know the indications, parameters and contraindications of TENS, ultrasound, heat, cold, diathermy and iontophoresis.
5Drill epidemiology calculations (incidence, prevalence, relative risk, odds ratio, sensitivity, NNT) and community strategies such as CBR, ergonomics and fall prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions

The disciplinary section has 140 items: Evaluación y diagnóstico (50), Intervención fisioterapéutica (50) and Promoción de la salud (40). The transversal section has 60 Spanish reading and indirect-writing items. It is given in two 4.5-hour sessions on the same day, and about 15% of the items are unscored pilot items.

Satisfactorio or better in the disciplinary section earns at least a Testimonio de Desempeño Satisfactorio, while a Testimonio de Desempeño Sobresaliente requires Sobresaliente in the disciplinary section and at least Satisfactorio in Lenguaje y Comunicación.

Why is this practice bank in English if the official exam is in Spanish?

The official Ceneval exam is in Spanish. This bank is an independent English-language study adaptation with four-option questions, not an official translation or format simulation, so you can review the physiotherapy content. It covers the disciplinary areas only, and multiple-choice practice cannot replace supervised practice of manual and clinical skills.
