Chapter 38 Flashcards
1
Q
- Which statements are true?
a. the Egoscue method doesn’t focus enough on correcting movement faults during activities of daily living, during exercise, or during sports play; it doesn’t effectively identify and eliminate injury-causing movements
b. the Egoscue method includes both cardio or resistance exercise
A
a
2
Q
- What is the main reason why the glute max might be underactive?
- synergistic dominance
- insufficient daily muscle activation
- altered reciprocal inhibition
- pain or injury inhibition
A
b
3
Q
- Which assessment can determine if the glute max is underactive?
- supine bridge
- knee to wall hip hold
- side plane
- wall sit

4
Q
- Which statements are true?
a. the glute max and hamstrings attach at different joint angles, which means they pull from different joint angles
b. during hip extension, the glute max should pull the most; the hamstrings should provide synergistic assistance
A
both are true
5
Q
- Which statements are true?
a. pain, injury, or surgery may cause the nervous system to inhibit the glute max
b. altered reciprocal inhibition may cause the nervous system to inhibit the glute max
A
both are true
6
Q
- Which statements are true?
a. during hip extension, if the hamstrings pull more than the glute max, it’s called synergistic dominance, which can lead to faulty movement patterns, decreased performance capacity, and an increased risk of musculoskeletal injury
b. the fault of synergistic dominance is best blamed on the synergistic muscle
A
a
7
Q
- Which statements are true?
a. synergistic dominance is a survival mechanism
b. synergistic dominance does not cause other muscles in the body to become over- or underactive
A
a
8
Q
- When a person has glute max amnesia, which is the most logical beginning exercise?
- supine bridge
- short stop squat
- hook-lying glute max contract-relax
- bird dog
A

9
Q
- Which statements are true?
a. walking or running up hills is butt kicking good (BKG) exercise
b. the single-leg dead-lift and single-leg squat are butt kicking good (BKG) exercises
A
both are true
10
Q
- Which of these activities is best for fixing glute max amnesia?
- CARs
- PAILs and RAILs
- muscle activating exercise
- foam rolling
A

11
Q
- Which statements are true?
a. the Trendelenburg sign, a collapse of the pelvis in the sagittal plane, is usually due to a weak gluteus medius
b. a weak gluteus medius often leads to IT band issues
A
b
12
Q
- Which assessment can determine if the gluteus medius is underactive?
- supine bridge
- knee to wall hip hold
- side plank
- wall sit
A
b
13
Q
- Which muscle turns synergistically dominant when the gluteus medius is underactive or inhibited?
- tensor fascia latae (TFL)
- glute max
- lateral hamstrings
- psoas
A
a
14
Q
- Which statements are true?
a. pain, injury, or surgery could never cause the nervous system to inhibit the gluteus medius
b. altered reciprocal inhibition is normal reciprocal inhibition gone wrong
A

15
Q
- Which statements are true?
a. synergistic dominance improves movement patterns, increases performance capacity, and decreases risk of musculoskeletal injury
b. synergistic dominance is due to exercising too much
A
neither are true
