PhysioLec: Flexibility

Question 1

TRUE OR FALSE: Stretching with rapid strain rate has less predisposition
for injury.

Answer 1

False

Question 2

TRUE OR FALSE: The bone does not exhibit mechanical property of
viscoelasticity only muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Answer 2

False

Question 3

TRUE OR FALSE: When a force is applied to stretch a tissue and the
length of the tissue is kept constant, after the initial
creep, there is an increase in the force required to
maintain that length, and the tension in the tissue also
increases.

Answer 3

False

Question 4

TRUE OR FALSE: Mobilization with movement can increase tissue
extensibility.

Answer 4

True

Question 5

TRUE OR FALSE: When load is applied to a tissue, the amount of
deformation depends on the amount of force and the rate at which the force is applied.

Answer 5

True

Question 6

TRUE OR FALSE: In laxity, the excessive ROM can still be controlled by
the patient.

Answer 6

True

Question 7

TRUE OR FALSE: Area where tissue takes up its slack.

Answer 7

True

Question 8

TRUE OR FALSE: FA low intensity, slowly applied prolonged stretch is
recommended than a quickly applied short duration
stretch to minimize the activation of the stretch reflex.

Answer 8

True

Question 9

TRUE OR FALSE: When tensile force is applied to a structure, it produces elongation; this illustrates the strength properties, stiffness, and amount of energy the material can store before failure of structure.

Answer 9

True

Question 10

TRUE OR FALSE: When the tension during a prolonged stretch becomes
great enough, contraction of the muscle being
stretched suddenly ceases and it then relaxes.

Answer 10

True
