Q

When incorporating functional patterns into ROM interventions, which of the following guidelines is correct?

PROM should always be performed in anatomical planes of motion to reinforce motor learning.

Mechanical assistance should not be used for assisted ROM because it will reduce motor learning.

Incorporate the functional movement into the patient’s daily activities once the pattern can be performed safely and correctly, without assistance or compensation.

Patients with visual impairments should always perform ROM in anatomical planes, avoiding functional patterns, so that joint alignment is maintained.

A

Incorporate the functional movement into the patient’s daily activities once the pattern can be performed safely and correctly, without assistance or compensation.

Q

hich of the following is a true statement about ROM exercises?

Passive ROM is synonymous with stretching.

If a joint is hypermobile, PROM exercises are contraindicated.

Passive ROM can be carried out manually or mechanically.

Whenever possible, active-assistive ROM should be performed in positions that eliminate the effect of gravity on the weak muscle that is actively contracting.

Passive ROM can be carried out manually or mechanically.

immediate post-operative percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

immediate post-operative total hip arthroplasty using a posterior approach

mechanically ventilated patient following a period of sedative interruption

A

cervical fracture with C5 spinal cord injury, prior to spinal stabilization

21
Q

In which of the following cases would stretching not be indicated?

a patient after a stroke with shoulder flexion that is limited to 135 degrees

an individual with a severe hip flexor contracture due to prolonged immobilization

gastrocnemius-soleus stiffness in a swimmer who specializes in 100-meter butterfly

greater than normal finger flexion tightness in a patient with a C6 spinal cord injury

A

greater than normal finger flexion tightness in a patient with a C6 spinal cord injury

22
Q

this type of stretch is well beyond the normal length of muscle & ROM of a joint

A

overstretching

23
Q

this type of stretch does not require any active movement from the patient

A

passive stretching

24
Q

this type of stretch allows some structures to tighten (shortened) while other are stretched (elongated) to improve overall function

A

selective stretching

25
Q

this type of stretch is designed to relax tension in shortened muscles reflexively prior to or during muscle elongation

A

neuromuscular facilitation

26
Q

This term describes the ability of soft tissue to return to its prestretch resting length direction after a short duration stretch force has been removed.

A

elasticity

27
Q

This term describes a change in length that is related to the viscosity of the tissue and is therefore time dependent.

A

creep

28
Q

This term describes the tendency of soft tissue to assume a new and greater length after a stretch force has been removed.

A

plasticity

29
Q

A patient has been receiving therapeutic exercise, including stretching, to improve ROM for 3 weeks. The PTA notes that the patient has not demonstrated any progress in ROM gains with the current stretching program. This is most likely a result of:

A

elasticity

30
Q

When a PTA develops a stretching program that fits the patient’s lifestyle and that the patient is likely to follow, it is reasonable to expect improvement in all of the following areas except:

cardiorespiratory performance

functional performance

muscle flexibility

muscle performance

A

cardiorespiratory performance

31
Q

Which of the following correctly matches the muscle stretch receptors / sensors with their normal physiologic function?

the Golgi Tendon Organ monitors tension and adjust the force of the agonist muscle during a stretch

the Golgi Tendon Organ prevents damage during stretching by facilitating surrounding muscles

the muscle spindle receives and conveys information regarding the rate and strength of fiber contraction

the muscle spindle responds to gradual changes in velocity and muscle length changes

A

the Golgi Tendon Organ monitors tension and adjust the force of the agonist muscle during a stretch

32
Q

Which of the following is not an expected outcome associated with poor flexibility?

faulty movement patterns in adjacent joints

localized discomfort in the inflexible tissue

severe limitations in daily functional activities

stretch weakness of agonistic muscle groups

A

severe limitations in daily functional activities

33
Q

Which of these is a correct statement regarding stretching?

a carefully selected program of low-load, long duration stretching may correct capsular tightness

pre-activity stretching will increase all aspects of event performance, particularly in high level athletes

posture and stabilization do not matter as long as the patient “feels the stretch” with every repetition

proper stretching is vital to all stages of healing, including the acute inflammatory phase of rehabilitation

A

a carefully selected program of low-load, long duration stretching may correct capsular tightness

34
Q

Which of these terms best describes the ability of the body to move through the range of motion?
