THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION Midterm
Exam Questions and Answers 2025 Top Rated A+
what neurovascular factor do rehabilitation exercises often
focus on?
restablish neuromuscular control to restore function and reduce
further injury
what is hypertrophy?
increase in muscle size
what is atrophy?
decrease in muscle size
what are the therapeutic considerations related to
hypertrophy?
interventions that promote hypertrophy rebuild strength after injury
when are strategies to prevent atrophy critical?
immobilization and inactivity
what us the acute pulmonary response?
increased respiratory rate and tidal volume to meet oxygen
demands
what are the chronic adaptations from pulmonary response?
- improved lung capacity and efficiency
- enhanced gas exchange
- better ventilation perfusion matching
why is respiratory training important for patients with
compromised lung function?
enhances pulmonary function and aid in recovery
what does deconditioning affect?
loss of cardiovascular, muscular, and neuromuscular function
what is the gradual progression from deconditioning?
start low intensity and work patients intensity up based on current
fitness level
what should be focused on before progressing to sport
specific activities?
,functional movement patterns
what is involved in cardiovascular conditioning?
initial phase: 50-60% of HRmax, 10-15 up to 30 min, 3-4x a week
progression phase: 60-75% HRmax, 20-40minutes, 4-5x a week
what in involved in resistance training?
initial phase: 12-15 reps, 1-2 sets, 50-60% 1RM, 2-3x week
progression phase: 8-12 reps, 2-3sets, 60-80%1RM, 3-4x week
what should be the focus in resistance training?
- form
- control
- compound. movements that mimic functional activities
what is involved in neuromuscular re-education?
initial phase: low intensity balance and coordination, 10-15min, 3-
5x week
progression phase: dynamic and sport specific, 15-30min, 3-5x
week
what should be emphasized in neuromuscular re-education?
proprioception and motor control
what is involved flexibility training?
initial phase: static stretching 20-20s 2-3x, 5-7 days per week
progression phase: dynamic stretching, PNF, 2-3 reps 5-7x week
when should flexibility exercises be performed?
after warm up
what is involved in aerobic conditioning for advanced
rehabilitation?
65-85% HRm, 20-60min, 3-5x week
- increase by 10% / week
what are the key structures injured in the shoulder?
glenohumeral ligaments
labrum
rotator cuff
what are the common injuries of the shoulder?
rotator cuff tears
shoulder dislocation
SLAP tears
, what are the rehab considerations for the shoulder?
- regain ROM without overstressing healing tissue
- gradual strengthening of rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers
- protect labrum from excessive shear forces during early phases
what is the healing timeline for rotator cuff tear?
Inflammatory: 1-2 w
proliferative: 2-6 w
maturation: 6w-6m
what is the healing timeline for labral tear?
inflammatory: 1-2 w
proliferative: 3-6w
maturation: 3-6m
what are the key structures injured in the knee?
ACL
MCL
patellar tendon
mensici
what are the common injuries to the knee?
ACL tear
MCL sprain
Menisici tear
patellar tendinopathy
what are the rehab considerations for the knee?
- early mobilization and strengthening to prevent atrophy
- protection of healing ligaments and meniscus from rotational
forces
- progressive loading for tendons to encourage proper collagen
alignment
what is the healing timeline for acl tears?
inflammatory: 1-2w
proliferative: 4-8w
maturation: 6m-1y
what is the healing timeline for menisci tears?
