KIN 3502 Flexibility Exam questions and
answers Latest 2025
goniometer - ANS -the most accurate tests of flexibility are those in which it is used
to measure the actual degrees of rotation of the various joints
-a protractor type of instrument used to measure the joint angle at both extremes in
the total range of movement
double armed goniometer - ANS has two arms that attach to two body parts
over the exact center of the joint tested - ANS where do you place the center
(fulcrum) of the goniometer ?
long axis - ANS The arms of the goniometer are aligned along the ________________ of
the bones of the adjacent segments
-all anatomic landmarks are identified
-joint axis point has been clearly defined
-body stabilized in proper alignment from start to ending positions
-client is instructed to move slowly through the proper ROM and the
goniometers remains aligned to each body segment
-measurements are read and recorded correctly
-test administrator is familiar with the normal ROM for each joint structure
-careful observations are made whether each joint's ROM assessment is pain free - ANS
how do you properly use a goniometer?
, reliability and validity - ANS It can be challenging to maintain the arms of the goniometer
along the bones of the segment, however, this is critical to the _______ and
_______ of the assessment
isolate - ANS It is important to ________ the joint movement by stabilizing the body
while moving the joint
visual examination - ANS __________________ of passive hip flexion, knee flexion and
popliteal angle is highly accurate and reliable regardless of the examiner's experience
experienced examiner - ANS VE of hip rotations and abduction is also highly
accurate provided it is performed by an ___________ _____________
Goniometric evaluation - ANS ____________ _____________ is preferred for passive hip
adduction especially if it is performed by less experienced exaxiners
hip adduction and abduction - ANS Inexperienced testers should not estimate
______________ ___________ for their measurements are not reliable for these
PROMs
ankle - ANS the ________ seems to be the joint with the least reliability for VE of PROMs
sit-and-reach - ANS -most widely used flexibility test in physical fitness programs
-popularity associated with the belief that limitations are associated with low back
pain and may predispose one to a low back injury (research on this is actually limited)
abdominal strength/endurance and hamstring flexibility - ANS Low back pain
associated with poor ___________ ________ and poor _______ _________
