PNF

Question 1

Two techniques are used to increase flexibility and ROM in PNF, what are they?

Answer 1

Hold and relax and hold-relax agonist contract

Question 2

In hold and relax and hold-relax agonist contract, the range-limiting muscle is first lengthened to the point of limitation. The patient then performs an isometric contraction for _ to _ seconds, followed by voluntary relaxation of the tight muscle. With the hold-relax technique, the limb is (actively/passively) moved into the new range, elongating the range limited muscle. With the hold-relax agonist contract technique the patient (actively/passively) moves the limb through the new range by contracting agonist muscles.

Answer 2

5 to 10; passively; actively

Question 3

In an increasing straight leg raising, the (hip flexors/hamstrings) are the tight muscle group to be stretched and the (hip flexors/hamstrings) are the agonists.

Answer 3

hamstrings; hip flexors

Question 4

In D1 flexion of the UE, as the therapist you want to apply resistance to the (ventral/dorsal) aspect of the hand and (anterior/posterior) aspect of the elbow.

Answer 4

ventral; anterior

Question 5

In D1 extension of the UE, as the therapist you want to apply resistance to the (ventral/dorsal) aspect of the hand and (anterior/posterior) aspect of the elbow.

Answer 5

dorsal; posterior

Question 6

To apply a quick stretch: When you are Coming down from D1 extension of the UE you want to apply a quick stretch by telling your patient to squeeze your fingers as you manually (flex/extend) their wrist.

Answer 6

extend

Question 7

In D2 flexion/extension of the UE you really want to be holding the patient’s hand in a lumbrical grip

Answer 7

Got it

Question 8

In D2 flexion of the UE, the therapist is going to have their left arm over the dorsal aspect of the patient’s (elbow/hand) and their right arm over the anterior aspect of the patient’s (elbow/hand).

Answer 8

hand; elbow

Question 9

In D2 extension of the UE, the therapist is going to have their left arm over the anterior aspect of the patient’s (elbow/hand) and their right arm over the anterior aspect of the patient’s (elbow/hand).

Answer 9

elbow; hand

Question 10

In D1 flexion of the LE, the therapist wants to provide resistance to the medial aspect of the (dorsum/plantar) side of the foot slightly above the toes and to the (anteromedial/posterolateral) aspect of the thigh in line with the knee.

Answer 10

dorsum; anteromedial

Question 11

In D1 extension of the LE, the therapist wants to provide resistance to the (dorsum/plantar) side of the foot slightly above the toes and to the (anterior/posterior) aspect of the knee.

Answer 11

plantar; posterior

Question 12

To apply a quick stretch in D1 of the LE. In the start position, have the patient (flex/extend) their toes and (dorsiflex/plantarflex) their ankle. Then the therapist will (flex/extend) the portion of their foot above the toes.

Answer 12

extend; dorsiflex; flex

Question 13

In D2 flexion of the LE, the therapist applies resistance to the (dorsal-lateral/ventral-medial) of the foot around the toes and the (antero-lateral/postero-medial) aspect of the knee .

Answer 13

dorsal-lateral; antero-lateral

Question 14

In D2 extension of the LE, the therapist applies resistance to the (plantar-medial/dorsal-lateral) aspect of the foot around the toes and the (antero-lateral/postero-medial) aspect of the knee .

Answer 14

plantar-medial; postero-medial
