Question 20

Close Pack Position

Answer 20

the majority of joint structures are under maximum tension
(Should be avoided)

Question 21

Loose Pack Position

Answer 21

“resting position”, which is the position in its ROM at which the joint is under the least amount of stress

include almost all other muscles
