Fascia - correct answer...Connective tissue that surrounds muscles and bones. True or False: Stretching can directly influence hydration. - correct answer...True Regional Interdependence (RI) Model - correct answer...Assessment and intervention model used by clinicians based on the concept that the site of a patient's primary complaint or symptoms is affected by dysfunction in remote musculoskeletal regions. Neurophysiological System - correct answer...A physiological system dealing with the functioning of the nervous system. Somatovisceral System - correct answer...The part of the sensory system that responds to changes in internal body systems and organs. Myofascia - correct answer...The functional combination of both muscle and connective tissues. Structural Efficiency - correct answer...The alignment of each segment of the human movement system, which allows posture to be balanced in relation to a person's center of gravity. Fascial System - correct answer...A three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen-containing, loose, and dense fibrous connective tissues that permeate the body providing functional structure and environment. Functional Efficiency - correct answer...The ability of the neuromuscular system to recruit correct muscle synergies, at the right time, with the appropriate amount of force to perform functional tasks with the least amount of energy and stress on the human movement system (HMS). Fascial System Model - correct answer...The model of human movement that considers the interconnectivity and interaction of the fascial system throughout the body. Fascial Nets - correct answer...The concept of the myofascial tensional network that describes the interconnectedness of specific chains of muscle and fascia located in different parts of the body as they relate to functional movement patterns. Super Compensation Hydration Phenomenon - correct answer...The effect on tissue after tissue has been allowed to rest after stretch or compression; more fluid rushes back into the tissues than was observed pre-stretch Bound Water - correct answer...Water forming in liquid crystalline structured patterns; Bound water has special molecular properties that enable it to perform many crucial functions, including providing greater viscosity for the viscoelastic properties of fasciae. This property greatly enhances the flexibility and elasticity of the fascial system Bulk Water - correct answer...Polluted water; What other factors would be affecting a pronated foot-ankle complex, according to the RI? - correct answer...A pronated foot-ankle complex is only one part of a cascading chain of events, resulting in more proximal faulty positions, like with an internally rotated knee and hip that may anteriorly rotate the pelvis A truly balanced HMS will have what? - correct answer...Optimal structural and functional efficiency with proper alignment of the kinetic chain checkpoints: the feet/ankles, knees, LPHC, shoulders, and head and neck True or False: The FS model may be thought of as an extension of the strategies used in the RI model to include all the various types of connective tissues - correct answer...The FS model may be thought of as an extension of the strategies used in the RI model to include all the various types of connective tissues What happens when a mechanical load is released? - correct answer...An influx of fresh fluids enters to flush out metabolic waste, rehydrate, and bring fresh nutrients to the area. Why is it important to have structural efficiency and the alignment of each component of the human movement system (HMS)? - correct answer...This enables an individual to maintain their center of gravity over a constantly changing base of support during all functional movements. How does the Fascial System (FS) model add to functional efficiency within the human movement system (HMS)? - correct answer...It intertwines the nervous system and muscular system, creating a mechanically sensitive and responsive communication network. Which of the following is the first definition of fascia according to the Fascial Research Society? - correct answer...A fascia is a sheath, a sheet, or any other dissectible aggregations of connective tissue that forms beneath the skin to attach, enclose, and separate muscles and other internal organs. Which of the following factors are improved with the use of the Fascial System (FS) model? - correct answer...Assessments and programs bodywork, physical therapy, regenerative medicine, fitness, and stretch therapy. True or False: It is within the scope of practice for a fitness professional to diagnose and/or render medical treatment - correct answer...False: Unless the practitioner is also licensed by their state to diagnose and/or render medical treatment, the fitness professional is legally prohibited from diagnosing or treating pain or medical conditions of any kind What is one of the best ways to both gain a referral network while also promoting your business? - correct answer...Invite potential referral sources to receive a free assisted-stretch session to experience the actual techniques and approaches offered by a fitness professional Is gaining consent to touch clients during an assisted stretching session important? - correct answer...Yes, incredibly; formally documenting in writing is highly recommended; the fitness professional should know when, where, and how the hands will be placed during each individual technique used; What is essential for a fitness professional to remember if and when a client has an extreme emotional response (healing crisis) during an assisted stretching session? - correct answer...The fitness professional needs to understand that assisted stretching is not therapy and these responses are not an opportunity for the fitness professional to attempt to interpret them. Thus, the fitness professional should explain that the response is normal, on a continuum of potential responses, and that the client should not feel embarrassed by them Assisted Stretching is used to do what? - correct answer...To improve, correct, and maintain flexibility and mobility, postural alignment, and overall fitness What terms should a fitness professional refrain from using either verbally or in print when advertising their services to prevent opening themselves up to legal repercussions? - correct answer...Stretch therapist or stretch therapy; Massage therapist or massage therapy; Bodyworker or bodywork; Manual therapist or manual therapy; Pain relief/management; Joint manipulation or adjustment; Healing; Treatment Code of Ethics - correct answer...Organizationally established professional guidelines for practitioner behavior What are the five major functions of the Code of Ethics for a fitness professional? - correct answer...Inform practitioners of appropriate ethical norms and behavior, Supply direction for challenging situations, Encourage practitioners to provide excellent service, Protect clients, Provide a means for enforcing desired professional behavior. What are the four most common boundary types in regards to assisted stretching? - correct answer...Physical, emotional, intellectual, and sexual How should the fitness professional respond when a client begins sharing their feelings? - correct answer...Kindly listening and being supportive. What does the fitness professional risk if they go beyond their scope of practice? - correct answer...Legal ramifications and client injury Which of the following topics is it suggested to avoid during an assisted stretching session? - correct answer...Political affiliations Which of the following best defines professionalism? - correct answer...The actions and behaviors that characterize a person as professional. Define Flexibility - correct answer...Flexibility is commonly defined as the normal extensibility (ability to stretch) of all soft tissues (contractile and non-contractile) that allow the complete range of motion (ROM) of a joint Biotensegrity - correct answer...The tension and compression elements that describe force vector concepts applied to biology and the human body. What are the conditions under which tension of the system may become too strained? - correct answer...Mental and physical stress, sleep deficiency, dehydration, poor nutrition, physical deconditioning, deficient daily movement True or False: When the balance of tension and compression forces in the area are compromised, the fitness professional will see evidence of this with familiar patterns found in postural distortions and movement impairments - correct answer...True What is the difference between flexibility and mobility? - correct answer...While the two go hand in hand, mobility should be used to describe joint motion Define Hypomobile - correct answer...Generally tight or stiff Hypermobile - correct answer...Excessively flexible When it is realized (after a series of stretching sessions) that the client reaches a plateau or limit of mobility (in a functional movement pattern, assisted stretch movement, etc.)? - correct answer...Refer the client to another practitioner with additional expertise
