Therapeutic Exercise final exam study
guide
Maximum Protection Phase - correct answer the initial postoperative period when protection of
operated tissues is paramount in the presence of tissue inflammation and pain.
Moderate Protection Phase - correct answer the intermediate phase of rehabilitation when
inflammation has subsided, pain and tenderness are minimal, and tissues are able to withstand
gradually increasing levels of stress.
Minimum Protection Phase - correct answer little to no protection of operated tissues is required. To
progress to this phase, full or almost full, pain-free active ROM should be available, and the joint capsule
(if involved) should be clinically stable.
Irreversible Protection Phase - correct answer There is no such thing
