Seddon Classification

• Temporary cessation of nerve conduction, without nerve degeneration and with Schwann cells and myelin sheath present is termed neuropraxia.

Brain Damage in CP

• Brain damage in Cerebral Palsy is not considered progressive.

Hip Joint Flexion Measurement

• The pivot point for hip flexion measurement is the anterior superior iliac spine.

Inflammatory Reaction Events

• Increasing intercapillary pressure and increasing capillary blood flow are the correct order.

Tendon Ruptures

• Grade I tendon ruptures do not lead to strength loss.

Tendinopathy Injury Risk

• Eccentric exercises are specifically designed to reduce the risk of re-injury in tendinopathies.

Arthroplasty Complications

• Deep vein thrombosis and gluteus medius atrophy are possible hip arthroplasty complications.

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Rehabilitation

• Vastus lateralis strengthening is important in patellofemoral pain rehabilitation.

Patellar Tendinitis

• Isometric exercises of the lower extremity are not the most important preventive exercises for patellar tendinitis.

Todd Davies Method

• The bilateral and symmetrical approach is the key principle of the Todd Davies method.
