Q​UESTION​ 6
For each of the following spinal cord segmental myotomes identify the corresponding spinal nerve and segment.
Breathing through the diaphragm: The phrenic nerve is a bilateral, mixed nerve that originates from the cervical
nerves in the neck and descends through the thorax to innervate the diaphragm.
Straightening the elbow: The musculocutaneous and radial nerves contribute by 42% and 27.5%, respectively, to
the flexion force of the elbow.
Bending the wrist back: The ulnar nerve travels on the inside of the forearm. It powers the forearm muscles that
bend the tips of the small and ring fingers and also one of the muscles that bends the wrist
Wiggling the toes: The peroneal nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve, which supplies movement and sensation to
the lower leg, foot and toes.
Bending the hip: The sciatic and pudendal nerves are susceptible to entrapment in the posterior hip region.
Spreading out the fingers: The median nerve passes through a small tunnel between your wrist and ligaments. It
helps you bend your wrist, fingers and thumb.
Pulling the foot down: The peroneal nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve, which supplies movement and
sensation to the lower leg, foot and toes.
Shoulder movement and bending the elbow: The musculocutaneous nerve then passes down the flexor
compartment of the upper arm, superficial to brachialis but deep to the biceps brachii muscle. It innervates both
these muscles and gives articular branches to the humerus and the elbow.

Q​UESTION​ 12
Describe the relationship between bone absorption and bone ossification. Provide an example to support your
answer.
Bone is resorbed by osteoclasts, and is deposited by osteoblasts in a process called ossification. Osteocyte
activity plays a key role in this process. Conditions that result in a decrease in bone mass can either be
caused by an increase in resorption or by a decrease in ossification.

Q​UESTION​ 17
Describe the changes which normally occur during the following developmental milestones.
Physical development
As infants and toddlers grow, their determination to master movement,
balance, and fine- and gross-motor skills remains strong. Rolling and
crawling occur as infants develop skills in using large-muscle groups.
Grasping and picking up objects with fingers are signs of small-muscle skill
growth
Social development
Social development refers to the process by which a child learns to interact
with others around them. As they develop and perceive their own
individuality within their community, they also gain skills to communicate
with other people and process their actions.
Cognitive development
Thinks about different possibilities and begins to develop own identity (such
as, Who am I?) Thinks about and begins to consider possible future goals
(such as, What do I want?) Thinks about and begins to make their own
plans. Begins to think long term.
Emotional development
Emotional development, emergence of the experience, expression,
understanding, and regulation of emotions from birth and the growth and
change in these capacities throughout childhood, adolescence, and
adulthood.

"twisting" one's ankle causes a sprain to the ligaments around the ankle. Tendons are the soft tissues that
connect muscles to bone and allow joints to move.
Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball.
A tendon serves to move the bone or structure. A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches
bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
Q​UESTION​ 20
What is soft tissue? What is the role of soft tissue in the body?
Soft tissue includes muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, nerves, fibrous tissues, fat, blood vessels, and
synovial membranes.
Soft tissue refers to tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body.
Q​UESTION​ 21
Describe what happens during muscle contraction.
A muscle contraction consists of a series of repeated events. First, calcium triggers a change in the shape of
troponin and reveals the myosin-binding sites of actin beneath tropomyosin. Then, the myosin heads bind
to actin and cause the actin filaments to slide. ... Repetition of these events causes a muscle to contract.
Q​UESTION​ 22
How do proprioceptors work to protect us from injury?
Page ​23​ of ​104
HLTMSG003/HLTMSG005/HLTMSG006/HLTMSG008
Student Assessment
HLTMSG003/HLTMSG005/HLTMSG006/HLTMSG008
Proprioceptor is a special sensory receptor that exists in the nerve endings of muscles, tendons, joints and
inner ears. These receptors convey information about movement or position, and make us aware of our
physical position and movement in space. The proprioceptor detects subtle changes in body movement,
position, tension, and strength.
Proprioceptors can trigger certain protective reflexes. In order to resist unsafe muscle length changes that
may cause muscle or tendon tears, the reflex causes the stretched muscle to contract, shortening and
protecting the muscle or tendon from injury.
Q​UESTION​ 23
What happens to the bones in fibrous dysplasia?
Fibrous Dysplasia is a condition caused by abnormal growth or swelling of bones. As a result, the affected
bone becomes enlarged, brittle and warped.

Sternoclavicular joint:​ ​is a synovial joint between the clavicle and the manubrium of the sternum. It is the
only attachment of the upper limb to the axial skeleton. Despite its strength, it is a very mobile joint and
can function more like a ball-and-socket type joint.
Acromioclavicular joint: ​can be identified by both sight and touch as it is the pointy protrusion at the top
edge of the shoulder. It is the point at which the lateral end of the clavicle (collar bone) meets with the part
of the scapula (shoulder blade) called the Acromion Process. It is one of the important functional joints that
allows a full range of movement at the glenohumeral joint.
Atlanto-occipital joint:​ ​between atlas (vertebra C1) and occipital bone; movements - flexion - extension of
the neck (nodding the head in "yes" movement)
Temporomandibular joint: ​ ​Connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull, which are in front of
each ear. This joint lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side, so you can talk, chew, and yawn​ .

Q​UESTION​ 35
What physical assessment determines capsular patterns? What do capsular patterns indicate?
A capsular pattern is the reproducible limitation of joint movements when the joint capsule is the
limiting structure. With passive movement, a full ROM must be carried out in all possible directions. A
mid-range movement will not elicit potential findings. It indicates the existence of a contraction of the
joint capsule. This capsular pattern of restrictions of passive joint movements is thought to be indicative
of the existence of arthritis. The type of the capsular pattern, though, differs between the types of
joints. It only exists in those joints that are controlled by muscles. These muscles jump to the rescue in
order to prevent further joint movement when the tension on the joint capsule and on its synovial lining
is about to cause pain.

Q​UESTION​ 37
Provide the difference between a ‘concentric’ contraction and an ‘eccentric’ contraction.
Concentric contraction: when the muscles are shortened (or shortened) due to the opposite load, such as
lifting a heavy object.
Eccentric contraction: ​the length of the muscle increases (stretches) when under load, such as slowly and
controlled weight reduction.
Q​UESTION​ 38
Provide an explanation of a ‘coupled motion’ and an example to support your answer.
A coupled motion is a combination of joint movements to produce the greatest ease of movement and
range of motion. Bending to the side is an example where there is a combination of a side bending and
rotating motion. In this movement, the thoracic spine bends and rotates.
For example, it is found that the lumbar spine rotates toward the side of lateral flexion (bodies toward
the concavity) when the person is initially standing, or in extension, but towards the opposite side
(bodies toward the convexity) when the person is initially in flexion​.

W​HAT​ ​IS​ ​THE​ ​PURPOSE​ ​OF​ ​THIS​?
The purpose of this process is to gain confirmation from someone who has worked regularly with the student who can
verify that the student performs their skills satisfactorily to clinic requirements on a regular basis.
H​OW​ ​WILL​ ​THE​ ​INFORMATION​ I ​PROVIDE​ ​BE​ ​USED​?
The assessor will use the information you provide in this report, combined with other assessment evidence provided
by the student to make a final decision about competency.
H​OW​ ​AND​ ​WHEN​ ​DO​ I ​FILL​ ​IN​ ​THE​ ​REPORT​?
You do not need to observe the student over a particular period of time or completing certain tasks. If you place a tick
in the ‘Yes’ column in the report, you are confirming that you are comfortable with the student’s skills in the relevant
area and that you have seen them work satisfactorily to clinic expectations.
Please also include comments and examples in the space provided wherever possible.
If you do not believe that the student demonstrates appropriate skills in the area listed, please place a tick in the ‘No’
column and provide reasons and comments about why you have said ‘No’.
If you are unsure or not able to comment on the student’s skills in a particular area, please place a tick in the ‘Not
able to confirm’ column; or if the student is still undertaking placement, then you may still be able to watch their work
in these areas so you are then able to comment on the suitability of their skills.
W​HAT​ ​SHOULD​ I ​DO​ ​IF​ I ​AM​ ​UNSURE​ ​OF​ ​THE​ ​EXPECTATIONS​?
Please contact the student’s assessor if you are unsure of any of the requirements of filling in this Supervisor Report.
The student will have their direct contact details.
W​HO​ ​SHOULD​ ​FILL​ ​IN​ ​THIS​ ​REPORT​ ​IF​ I ​AM​ ​UNABLE​ ​TO​ ​DO​ ​SO​?
If you are not able to confirm the student’s skills in all of the following areas, please confirm the areas you can and
ask another qualified person from the clinic to confirm skills in the other areas. They will also need to sign the report.
