chapter 7: client intake and assessment

Question 1

steps of intake

Answer 1

1. general fitness history/ questions
2. static postural assessment
3. movement assessments
4. mobility assessments

Question 2

Ankle sprains and kinetic chain

Answer 2

Ankle sprains have been shown to decrease the neural control to the gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscles. Additionally, chronic ankle instability can lead to altered knee flexion on landing tasks. This, in turn, can lead to poor neuromuscular control and balance, potentially resulting in further injury

Question 3

knee injuries

Answer 3

Knee injuries can cause a decrease in the neural control to muscles that stabilize the patellofemoral and tibiofemoral joints. Noncontact knee injuries are often the result of ankle or hip dysfunctions. If the ankle or hip joint begins to function improperly, this can result in altered movement and force distribution of the knee, leading to further injury over time

Question 4

low back injuries

Answer 4

Low-back injuries can cause reduced lumbar mobility, slower movement, and reduced proprioception (Laird et al., 2014). If not addressed, limited lumbar mobility will be affected and this could have an impact on the kinetic chain as the entire spine works as a functional unit. Limited mobility in the lumbar spine could cause limited mobility in the thoracic spine, resulting in shoulder and cervical pathologies as well

Question 5

shoulder injuries

Answer 5

Shoulder injuries cause altered neural control of the rotator cuff muscles, which can lead to instability of the shoulder joint during functional activities. Shoulder dysfunction associated with previous injuries has been linked to reduced thoracic mobility (Haik et al., 2014). For overhead throwing athletes, past injuries to the shoulder could also alter throwing mechanics, leading to further injury

Question 6

smart goals

Answer 6

S—Specific: What does the client want to achieve? Consider who, what, where, when, why, and how.
M—Measurable: How will the goal be measured? What are the criteria for goal completion?
A—Attainable: Is the goal achievable by the individual? The effort, time, and costs re-quired for achieving the goal need to be considered.
R—Realistic: Is the goal relevant to the individual’s lifestyle and fitness needs? Is it some-thing they can reasonably expect to be able to achieve?
T—Timely: What is the timeframe the goal should be completed in? What is the target completion date?

Question 7

True or False? Corrective exercise is intended to help clients directly manage issues of acute pain and injury rehabilitation.

Answer 7

false

Question 8

It is recommended that adults sleep how many hours a night?

Answer 8

8-9 hours

Question 9

Which statement most accurately describes the potential impact a previous low-back injury could have on a client?

Answer 9

reduced proprioception

Question 10

Pattern overload

Answer 10

Occurs when a segment of the body is repeatedly moved or chronically held in the same way, leading to a state of muscle overactivity.

Question 11

best way to see client posture

Answer 11

have them take shoes off

Question 12

The Kendall flat-back posture presents with which of the following static positions in the lower body?

Answer 12

Reduced lumbar lordosis, posterior tilted pelvis, and extended hips and knees

Question 13

The Kendall kyphosis-lordosis posture presents with which of the following static positions in the lower body?

Answer 13

Excessive lumbar lordosis, anterior tilted pelvis, flexed hips, and flexed/hyperextended knees

Question 14

Which upper-body muscles are commonly overactive in the Kendall flat-back posture?

Answer 14

Pectoralis minor, shoulder adductors, upper trapezius, and levator scapulae

Question 15

The Kendall sway-back posture presents with which of the following static positions in the upper body?

Answer 15

Forward head, extended cervical spine, and excessive thoracic kyphosis

Question 16

Lower Crossed Syndrome A and B both contain which of the following observable body positions?

Answer 16

Anterior tilted pelvis

Question 17

What are common underactive/lengthened muscles in the lower body?

Answer 17

Rectus abdominis, gluteus maximus, tibialis anterior, and peroneals

Question 18

Which upper-body muscles are commonly overactive in the Kendall kyphosis-lordosis posture?

Answer 18

Shoulder adductors, intercostals, pectoralis minor, and internal obliques
