1. What does a “crimp grip” most similarly resemble?(Required)

a. Intrinsic minus

b. Intrinsic plus

c. Full fist

d. Lateral pinch

2. Why is lateral epicondylitis common in rock climbers?(Required)

a. Because climbing is repetitive, I should encourage climbers to only climb one time then go home

b. Because climbers tend to climb with their elbows flexed, I should encourage them to do tricep exercises to create a better balance

c. Because most climbers also play tennis, I should encourage them to take time off from sports

d. Because climbers tend to climb with their elbows “locked straight”, I should encourage them to climb with a microbend in their elbows and educate them on how to strengthen their extensors, since climbing is such a flexor heavy sport

3. My client came in and said he is “projecting” his climb this weekend. What does that mean?(Required)

a. He is taking a break from climbing this weekend. I should tell him to ice while he rests.

b. He is trying one climb that is above his normal send level multiple times this weekend. I should instruct him to stretch in between attempts, educate/ train how to detect when his UE’s are fatiguing and entering into the “harm” zone, and demo how to engage antagonistic muscles in between attempts

c. He is trying one climb that is above his normal send level multiple times this weekend. I should test his grip strength, if he is weak I will give him putty exercises to strengthen his hand before these attempts, if he is strong then he is good to go.

d. He is trying one climb that is above his normal send level multiple times this weekend. I should tell him he is not allowed to do this.

4. My rock climbing client has a palpable nodule with consistent locking in her dominant index finger. My clinical reasoning and her subjective reports is telling me I do not think this person should continue to climb but I have never had experience with this before because I do not climb and do not see climbers frequently. What should I do?(Required)

a. Proceed with my typical conservative trigger finger interventions I have done with non- climbing clients, advise the patient that I do not think they should climb until further notice during the session but I will contact a peer to verify, email Emily Hartnett and ask if she has experience with this, then contact the patient to adjust the intervention plan now that I have collaborated with a peer on this.

b. Proceed with my typical conservative trigger finger interventions I have done with non- climbing clients and then tell the patient I know nothing about climbing so she will have to contact someone else to ask.

c. Send the patient to surgery because climbing is exacerbating the diagnosis but she really wants to climb.

d. Discharge the patient until Emily emails me back, climber’s trigger finger must be very different from the other hundreds of trigger fingers I have seen before.

5. I knit every single day. I overheard a co- worker in our hand therapy clinic telling her client, “I do not think you should knit because of your CMC OA”. What should I do?(Required)

a. Nothing, it’s not my client

b. I should stop knitting too, my co- worker must be right

c. Second guess myself and research knitting before I speak up, I do it every single day but I need to double check everything to be sure before I speak with my co- worker or that client

d. Advocate for my fellow knitter by speaking to my co-worker privately, and telling him how I changed my knitting posture, applied a HFO, take breaks while I knit, and use modalities at work to facilitate my occupation of knitting.
