## **I) Choose the correct answer (8 Marks)** 1. The great advantage of __________ lies in the fact that once the patient has mastered the techniques of their performance and is aware of their purpose - a) Passive ROM - b) Active assisted ROM - c) Active free ROM - d) Active resisted ROM 2. __________ is a process characterized by the interpretation of collected data - a) Examination - b) Evaluation - c) Diagnosis - d) Prognosis 3. The types of therapeutic exercise interventions include __________ - a) Muscle performance exercises - b) Balance exercises - c) Relaxation exercise - d) All of the above 4. Passive motion __________ - a) Maintain joint mobility - b) Prevent muscle atrophy - c) Increase strength - d) Improve endurance 5. __________ is an intrinsic factor which determine the amount of ROM available at a synovial joint. - a) Age - b) Effect of immobilization - c) Body segment size - d) Congruency of joint articulating surfaces 6. ROM techniques may be performed in the __________ . - a) Anatomic planes of motion - b) Muscle range of elongation - c) Functional patterns - d) All of the above 7. __________ is a type of active ROM in which assistance is provided manually or mechanically by an outside force. - a) Passive ROM - b) Active assisted ROM - c) Active free ROM - d) Active resisted ROM 8. Pendular exercises are an example of __________ . - a) Passive ROM - b) Active assisted ROM - c) Active free ROM - d) Active resisted ROM ## **II) True and False (8 Marks)** 1. Primary impairments are the impairments that may arise directly from the health condition. **TRUE** 2. Flexibility is the correct timing and sequencing of muscle firing combined with the appropriate intensity of muscular contraction. **FALSE** 3. Passive movement is produced by active muscle contraction of muscles crossing the joint. **FALSE** 4. The main goal of passive movement to decrease the complications of immobilization. **TRUE** 5. A reduction in muscle tissue size and contractile force is the most obvious change in muscle secondary to immobilization. **TRUE** 6. Free exercises are those which are performed by the patient own muscular efforts without the assistance or resistance of any external force. **TRUE** 7. The advantage of free exercises is that they frequently make sufficient demands on the patients’ neuromuscular system to elicit the maximal response required for the rapid redevelopment or reinforcement of weak muscles. **TRUE** 8. Objective exercises are usually formal and consist of more or less anatomical movements performed in full range. **FALSE** ## **III. What are the indications of active assisted ROM exercises?
