Therapeutic Exercises Quiz

I) Choose the Correct Answer

• 1) Passive ROM's advantage is that once a patient masters it, they understand its purpose. Active assisted ROM is also beneficial.

• 2) Active free ROM is a process where collected data is interpreted. Evaluation is the process of interpreting data, not the interpretation itself.

• 3) Muscle performance exercises, balance exercises, and relaxation exercises are types of therapeutic exercise interventions. All of the above are correct.

• 4) Passive motion involves maintaining joint mobility, not increasing strength. Preventing muscle atrophy and improving endurance are also benefits.

• 5) Age, effect of immobilization, and congruency of joint surfaces all influence the amount of ROM at a synovial joint.

• 6) ROM techniques can be performed in anatomic planes of motion and functional patterns. Muscle range of elongation and all of the above are incorrect responses.

• 7) Active assisted ROM is where manual or mechanical assistance is provided to help perform active movements.

• 8) Pendular exercises are an example of active resisted ROM.

II) True and False

• 1) True. Primary impairments stem directly from the underlying health condition.

• 2) False. Flexibility is correct timing/sequencing of muscle firing combined with muscle contraction intensity.

• 3) False. Passive movement is produced by external forces, not active muscle contraction.

• 4) False. The goal of passive movement is to prevent complications of immobilization.

• 5) True. Muscle tissue size and force diminish due to immobilization.

• 6) True. Free exercises are performed without external assistance or resistance.

• 7) True. Free exercises challenge the neuromuscular system, leading to faster improvements of weak muscles.

• 8) True. Objective exercises are usually performed anatomically, with full range of movement.
