PES-PRACTICE EXAM QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 2024 The process whereby a tight (overactive) muscle causes decreased neural drive to its functional antagonist is defined as: altered reciprocal inhibition synergistic dominance altered arthrokinematics intramuscular coordination altered reciprocal inhibition The ability of the neuromuscular system to exert force against resistance is defined as: power strength speed balance strength Brainpower Read More Previous Play Next Rewind 10 seconds Move forward 10 seconds Unmute 0:03 / 0:15 Full screen The process by which synergists compensate for a weak or inhibited prime mover in attempt to maintain force production and functional movement patters is defined as: reciprocal inhibition synergistic dominance joint dysfunction muscle synergy synergistic dominance Which of the following is an example of a predominately sagittal plane motion? Calf raises side lunges cable rotations swinging a bat Calf raises Which plane bisects the body to create upper and lower halves with motion occurring around a longitudinal (vertical) axis? Sagittal plane Frontal Plane Transverse Plane Scapular plane Transverse Plane Which muscle action occurs when the contractile force is equal to the resistive force leading to no visible change in the muscle length? Concentric Isometric Isotonic Eccentric Isometric Muscles that act in direct opposition to prime movers are known as: agonists antagonists synergists stabilizers antagonists The following are support system muscles of the core (limbo-pelvic hip complex) EXCEPT: transverse abdominus multifidus muscles of the pelvic floor psoas psoas Which sub-system is primarily responsible for force transmission longitudinally from the trunk to the ground? Lateral sub-system Deep longitudinal sub-system Posterior oblique sub-system Anterior oblique sub-system Deep longitudinal sub-system What is the concentric function of the anterior tibialis? Accelerates ankle plantar flexion and inversion Accelerates ankle dorsiflexion and eversion Accelerates ankle dorsiflexion and inversion Accelerates ankle plantar flexion and eversion Accelerates ankle dorsiflexion and inversion The cumulative neural input from sensory afferents to the central nervous system is BEST defined as: motor control sensorimotor integration proprioception motor learning proprioception Objective information includes all of the following EXCEPT: general and medical history physiological assessment postural assessments performance assessments general and medical history What is the effect of beta-blockers on heart rate and blood pressure?
