In the clinical scenario in Question #28, all of the following would be appropriate goals and treatment guidelines to progress your patient through from weeks 3-18: Weeks 3-9 End of 3rd week, discard brace, begin gait training and cardiovascular activity Leg press can be performed between 0°-45° and half squats at 45° Single leg stance for balance End of 4th week: joint mobilizations, treadmill walking at an incline and resisted hip and ankle exercises Week 6: Hamstring exercises can begin Week 8: Step up exercises can begin Weeks 9-18: Strength should be between 85%-90% or normal Weeks 8-12: Start forward jogging Week 12: Start hopping Week 12-16: Start running/sprinting forward and backward and include cutting and cariocas
true
Isokinetic exercises are typically incorporated in the later phases of the rehabilitation process?
true
Joint hypomobility can cause faulty posture, muscular imbalance and abnormal neuromuscular control?
true
Joint mobilizations, grades I and II are primarily used to treat pain,whereas joint mobilizations, grades III and IV are primarily used to treat range of motion restrictions?
true
Non-medical personnel such as coaches, administrators, etc. should not be involved in the decision making process regarding an injury?
true
Noncontractile tissue will limit the degree of stretching, whereas contractile tissue will limit the velocity of stretching?
true
Objectives in designing a rehabilitation plan should include measures to prevent deconditioning and to rehabilitate the injured body part?
true
One of your gymnasts just had an ACL reconstruction. The orthopedic surgeon has prescribed active range of motion exercises to start the rehabilitation process. The patient is progressing faster than expected and wants to increase the intensity of her activity. You should communicate the gymnasts concerns with the orthopedist and maintain open communication with the orthopedist so that the physicians philosophy persists throughout the rehabilitation process?
true
One of your track athletes has returned to competition after a Grade 1 strain of his hamstrings. He has missed the last 6 weeks of competition because of inability to compete and is now able to make a return to participation. Being a bit nervous, you ask the athlete to visualize scenes relating to positive feelings of enthusiasm, confidence and pride. You are employing Emotive imagery rehearsal?
true
Pain associated with an injury will dictate the progress of the rehabilitation protocol?
true
Reciprocal inhibition is when an isotonic contraction of an agonist muscle elicits a reflex relaxation of the antagonist muscle group?
true
Restoring muscular strength, endurance and power are among the most essential factors in restoring the function of a body part to pre-injury status?
true
Roll, glide and spin are all types of arthrokinematic motion?
true
The theory of arthrogenic muscle inhibition occurs because of a protective reflex inhibition of the quadriceps to attempt to decrease stress on the injured knee. This is typically attributed to pain, injury, effusion and neural inhibitions?
true
When incorporating discriminate muscle activation into a rehabilitation program, the AT may initially require the the patient to engage in exercises that focus on conscious activation leading to unconscious control which is critical in balance and coordination?
true
When rehabilitating an injury, it is crucial for the patient/ athlete to understand that the portion of recovery that they are in is just as important as the full return to function.
true
Without proximal or core stability the distal movers cannot function optimally to efficiently utilize their strength and power?
true
You are creating a rehabilitation program for a patient that is in the inflammatory phase of healing after contusion to her thigh. Over the past 2 days you have observed that she has not regained any range of motion (120 degrees of knee flexion) and her pain remains a constant 7/10. You choose to incorporate some visualization techniques to help her progress through the phases of healing. This would be considered a buffering technique?
true
You are rehabilitating an 2nd degree high ankle sprain that is in the sixth week of the healing process. Currently, you have increased the patient's range of motion to 45 degrees of plantar-flexion and 18 degrees of dorsi-flexion. Upon muscle testing, you document that the tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, peroneus longus and peroneus brevis are all a 4/5 and the patient's pain is a 3/10. You elect to create a rehabilitation protocol that relies on the sensation of joint motion of acceleration and the sensation of active movements. You are increasing the patient's kinesthesia?

Upon muscle testing, you document that the tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior, peroneus longus and peroneus brevis are all a 4/5 and the patient's pain is a 3/10. You elect to create a rehabilitation protocol that works on postural, positional and kinetic information provided to the central nervous system by sensory receptors.

You are the Director of Sports Medicine for a professional team. One of your athletes has just sprained her knee. This is considered a macrotraumatic injury?
true
he speed with which an object moves depends on the amount of force used to move it and the objects size is an example of Newton's Law of Acceleration?
true

A fast speed; large axon size; moderate fatigue resistance; high oxidative capacity; and high force production describes which fiber type?
type 2a
The muscle fiber type that has the fastest conduction velocity; is the least fatigue resistant; has a low capillary density; a low fuel consumption; and the highest force production describes which fiber type?
type 2b
Which fiber type has the ability to produce a maximal intensity burst, but will fatigue in less than 30 seconds?
type 2b
A bucket handle tear of the superior attachment of the labrum and biceps tendon with the peripheral margins intact with the glenoid rim, defines what type of SLAP lesion?
type 3
Which fiber type is used in high-intensity activity, less than two minutes?
