Q

___ specificity – If you work at a particular angle, the gains that you will get are most pronounced at that angle. (Ex – If only doing bicep curls from 0 degrees of bicep extension to 30 degrees of flexion, the strength gains will be most pronounced in that particular angle.) Basically picking up strength gains in different ranges.

Q

____ specificity – The thought was you could train people at higher speeds that would replicate what they are actually trying to do. Whatever speed you exercise at, you’ll get the most gains there. More applicable example is distance runners training for long distances and sprinters sprinting for sprints.

Q

___ specificity – However you work the muscle (isometrically, concentrically, eccentrically) dictates how you get your gains.
There are certain times where you want to really work the eccentric phase in certain conditions to stress the musculotendinous unit because research shows if you do that it causes remodeling of the tissue. Examples are using two hands for the concentric phase of the bicep curl and then struggle with one hand in the eccentric phase. If a person has a problem going down the stairs (going down the stairs is an eccentric contraction where they are trying to control their body weight going down) so focusing on the eccentric lowering piece would be very beneficial for them.

Q

When making a presecription for a patient in terms of frequency, consider the patient (injury/age), the patient’s goals, and type of exercise they will perform (intensity/ eccenctric vs concentric). Everyone has different circumstances.. Some people want to return to professional athletics, high level recreational activities, or just want to return to be able to do activities of daily living.

A

2-3x per week

37
Q

For a lot of people that are coming in injured into physical therapy or have some condition that is going on, I worry about putting them in a 1 rep max or even a 10 rep max because I worry that they are going to get hurt. Their tissue is already compromised and if I try and maximally stress that tissue, do I just set themselves up for reinjuring themselves or injuring something else, but at the same time you want to try and tie our intensity to some sort of objective measure. For most of our patients we prescribe a set intensity using a particular a number of sets and reps based on an educated guess. MMT (manual muscle testing) is used universally between physical therapists and other health care providers to try and quantify how much strength a person has. That information will help dictate to us a little bit about their intensity of exercise that they may be able to do and it is better than just guessing.

38
Q

Need to work the patients hard enough to create physiological changes in the body to “progress” them (creating overload in the body). You have to keep advancing people so that they are working at their -% of their 1RM.

39
Q

What is the range for minimal intensity for gains in terms of VO2 max for cardiovascular?

A

60-80%

41
Q

What is the range for the recommended amount of sets for strength training?

A

42
Q

For endurance training, do you increase the number of sets and reps?

A

Yes

43
Q

(Increase/Lower) the number of reps for strength exercises, (increase/lower) the number of reps and sets for endurance type of exercises.

A

Lower; increase

44
Q

Doing _ sets of _at a PT clinic is a rule of thumb that has been passed down and that sort of thing.

A

3; 10

45
Q

What is the range of weeks needed before you get true strength changes?

A

6-12

46
Q

(Hypertrophy/Neural adaptation) - Increased cross sectional area of fibers due to increased proteins and is directly related to the ability of the muscle to produce tension.

A

Hypertrophy

47
Q

Before 6-12 weeks, any strength change you get is due to (hypertrophy/neural adaptations).

A

neural adaptations

48
Q

(Hypertrophy/Neural adaptations) - Better recruitment of motor units and associated fibers and better synchronization of muscles

A

Neural adaptations

49
Q

When determining the mode for an exercise prescription, it is determined from examination/evaluation and functional limitations that the patient demonstrates as well as how the muscles work (strength vs endurance and isometric vs concentric vs eccentric).

A

50
Q

In patients with osteoarthritis or conditions where you do not want them to apply compressive forces, you should do (closed/open) chain exercises.

A

open

51
Q

When to use (isometric/isotonic) exercises:

An isometric contraction might be beneficial for patients that are postoperative and can’t move the joint through its full range of motion because it might put stress on structures that were repaired, but performing isometric contractions of the surrounding musculature or musculature that is proximal or distal to the area that has been surgically repaired might be okay.
Performing isometric contractions might be beneficial for people who have immobilized joints, people in a brace or cast or post surgical, people who have painful conditions, people who need to get taught muscle activation (trying to get people to recruit muscles), muscles that contract and stabilize a joint (trying to mimic how the muscle works), and muscles that have a grade of 3/5.

Sometimes people who have knee surgery have swelling and their quad does not work very well so post surgery often times you are just trying to get them to activate that muscle again (think of quad sets).

A

isometric

52
Q

If you are going to do isometric exercises you have to work at what range as far as percent of your max volumetric contraction?

A

60-70%

53
Q

How long do you have to hold isometric exercises to get physiological changes?

A

6 seconds

54
Q

How many repetitions per day do you have to do for isometric exercises?

A

5-10

55
Q

(Isometric/Dynamic) variable resistance is good for most patient populations and is the most prescribed type of exercise involving healthy and nonhealthy populations. The person must be able to move t/o (through) ROM to be able to do these exercises.

A

Dynamic

56
Q

Most places if they have isokinetic machines are used for high level strength testing as opposed to general strengthening. In general you can use these machines for any patient that you do dynamic variable resistance with.

A

57
Q

___ maneuver – basically holding your breath while you are trying to exercise.
Not a good idea because it puts a lot more stress on your cardiopulmonary system while exercising.
Asking people to count out loud is a good way to make sure that they are breathing

A

Valsalva

58
Q

People who are very weak or deconditioned do not recover as quickly as people who are not deconditioned so if you work them too hard it takes them way too long to recover and overall it slows down your progress with them.

59
Q

Post menopausal woman is the group that has the largest percentage of osteoporosis diagnosis. (Weight bearing/Nonweight bearing) exercises are good for people who have osteoporosis. You do not want to load them too much or load them in positions where there is a ton of stress on the bone because of the increased risk of fractures.

A

Weight bearing

60
Q

Pain is a cardinal sign of ____.

A

inflammation

61
Q

Try letting your patient know when they should expect some pain or let them know that an exercise might feel a little uncomfortable, things like that so they are on the same page as you and that expectation really helps.

62
Q

It takes around _ weeks for soft tissue / bone to heal (pretty good rule of thumb). At that _ week mark, normally the tissue / bone is normally strong enough to put some stress on it .

A little bit of stress on the tissue after it has healed is good for tissue and makes it stronger.

A

Q

You get more sore from doing (eccentric/concentric) exercises
