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.
, The grade of recommendation reflects the cost-effectiveness of a
treatment.
The grade of recommendation is based solely on expert opinion.
4. What are the three normal joint end feels described by Cyriax?
Fluid, solid, elastic
Loose, tight, flexible
Elastic, rigid, soft
Soft, firm, hard
5. If a soccer player is unable to participate in team practices due to a knee
injury, which ICF Model term best describes this situation?
Personal Factor
Activity Limitation
Participation Restriction
Body structure and function impairment
6. In a rehabilitation setting, if a patient is performing an exercise that involves a
multi-joint muscle and is unable to generate sufficient force due to the
muscle being shortened, what is this an example of?
Muscle strain
Active insufficiency
Joint instability
Passive insufficiency
