1. When a 2-joint muscle is shortened at each joint that it crosses, how will the
muscle be affected?

This action will promote passive insufficiency, leading to a limitation of
the amount of motion at each joint

This action will promote passive insufficiency, leading to a limitation of
the amount of force production of a muscle

This action will promote active insufficiency, leading to a limitation of
the amount of motion at each joint

This action will promote active insufficiency, leading to a limitation
of the amount of force production of a muscle

2. A patient recovering from knee surgery is experiencing limited movement.
How would you assess their Range of Motion (ROM) and what implications
does this have for their rehabilitation plan?

Ignore the ROM and focus only on strengthening exercises.

Assess the ROM by visual inspection without any tools.

Only measure the ROM after six weeks of rehabilitation.

Assess the patient's ROM using a goniometer to determine the
extent of movement and adjust the rehabilitation plan accordingly.

3. How would you explain the importance of the grade of recommendation in
evidence-based practice?

The grade of recommendation indicates the strength of the
evidence supporting a clinical practice guideline.

The grade of recommendation is irrelevant to clinical practice.
