Unit 8: The Lower Extremity — Final exam

Question 9 • Sports Medicine 1b

Quinn is administering the Telescoping Test to an athlete. What does Quinn MOST likely suspect might be wrong with this athlete based on this assessment?

Answer
A
They might have a fractured ankle.
B
They might have decreased hip support.
C
They might have shin splints.
D
They might have a torn ACL.

Explanation

The Telescoping Test checks for excessive movement at the hip joint when the leg is gently pushed and pulled. That movement can suggest inadequate support or stability around the hip, so Quinn would most likely suspect decreased hip support. It does not specifically test for an ankle fracture, shin splints, or a torn ACL.
