True or False? Passive motion during a mobility assessment means that the client should move the joint into position with a voluntary muscle contraction.
True
False
False
True of False? Mobility represents the combination of available joint range of motion and the body’s neuromuscular control of that motion.
True
False
True
True or False? Mobility assessments are used to pinpoint whether a movement impairment is due to a flexibility deficit (overactive/shortened) or a lack of neuromuscular activation (underactive/lengthened).
True
False
True
Which joint motion is considered to have normal mobility when the client is able to touch the wall by forward bending the knee during the weight bearing lunge test?
Plantarflexion
Knee extension
Dorsiflexion
Knee flexion
Dorsiflexion
Which mobility assessment functions to assess a client’s hip extension, hip adduction, and knee flexion ROM all at the same time?
Modified Thomas Test
Duncan Ely Test
Lat length test

Modified Thomas Test
What should the client do with the non-testing leg during the modified Thomas test?
The client holds the knee to their chest, putting the non-test hip in maximal flexion.
The client holds the knee so the hip and knee are flexed to 120 degrees.
The client holds their chest, putting the non-test hip in maximal extension.
The client holds the knee so the hip and knee are at 90 degrees.
The client holds the knee to their chest, putting the non-test hip in maximal flexion.
Which position should a client be in to perform the cervical flexion and extension test?
Prone
Seated
Side lying
Supine
Seated
What is considered normal mobility in the cervical side bending test?
The head can tilt to a 45-degree angle.
The head can tilt to a 25-degree angle.
The head should remain neutral.
The head can tilt to a 90-degree angle.
The head can tilt to a 45-degree angle.
What is the recommended verbal instruction when performing the cervical rotation test?
“Look over your shoulder and use your hands to apply pressure.”
“Look over shoulder 90 degrees to each side.”
“Look over your right then left shoulder as far as you comfortably can.”
“Look over shoulder until the ear is in line with the tip of the shoulder.”
“Look over your right then left shoulder as far as you comfortably can.”
What are two muscles that may be overactive/shortened if a client demonstrates restricted shoulder flexion?
Lower trapezius and anterior deltoid
