1. Which nerve primarily provides motor and sensory function to the little finger?

Median nerve Radial nerve Ulnar nerve Sciatic nerve

2. Pain radiating down the back of the leg — especially below the knee — is most characteristic of irritation of which nerve?

Ulnar nerve Median nerve Sciatic nerve Radial nerve

3. A common sign of nerve impingement or compression includes:

Localized muscle cramp only Sharp pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the distribution of the nerve Only joint instability Only increased range of motion

4. Which muscle group in the neck can contribute to nerve tension or impingement affecting the arm (for example in cervical radiculopathy)?

Diaphragm muscles Rotator cuff muscles Scalene muscles Gluteal muscles

5. In neurodynamic treatment, “gliding” techniques are typically used to:

Build tolerance to high loads immediately Improve nerve mobility and tolerance with minimal load Only stretch muscle fibers Immobilize the nerve

6. A pinched or compressed nerve often causes which of the following symptoms?

Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations Dull bone pain only Only muscle cramping No sensory changes, only fatigue

7. Which nerve exits the brachial plexus and primarily innervates the posterior arm and forearm (extensors)?

Median nerve Radial nerve Ulnar nerve Sciatic nerve

8. Which of the following is a sign that a nerve is recovering from irritation or compression?

Increasing weakness Pain spreading to unrelated areas Reduced intensity of symptoms and improved strength Constant sharp pain

9. Which nerve is most commonly associated with medial (ulnar side) hand and little finger sensation?

Median nerve Ulnar nerve Radial nerve Sciatic nerve

10. When integrating nerve mobilization into a massage session, the recommended sequencing concept is to:

Apply aggressive stretching at the start Sequence it late, after reducing guarding and restriction Never integrate it; only use passive stretching Only work on the nerve without regard for surrounding tissues
