B
What kinetic chain is it when the distal end of an extremity is fixed to a bench or pull-up bar?
Closed chain
Perform "Trunk Stability Pushup" and score properly
Instructions
• Lie face down with your arms extended overhead and your hand's shoulder-width apart.
• Pull your thumbs down in line with the ___ (forehead for men, chin for women).
• With your legs together, pull your toes toward the shins and lift your knees and elbows off
the ground.
• While maintaining a rigid torso, push your body as one unit into a pushup position.
• Do you understand these instructions?
Define "stride"
One full lower extremity cycle from heel strike on one leg to the next heel strike on the same leg.
_______ is flexion in the ankle that moves the top of the foot toward the tibia. What is the joint movement?
Dorsiflexion
What is the recently added cleaning test in 2020? And, What joint movement does the clearing test assess the function of?
Ankle clearing test; dorsiflexion
What type of shoulder joint actions are occurring during the concentric phase of a standard push-up?
Horizontal adduction and extension
Perform "Walk to Run and Run to Walk Transition" Test
What are the five steps during the stance phase? Start from heel strike.
Heel strike --> foot-flat --> midstance --> heel-off --> Toe-off
An examiner placed the body of the goniometer on the C7 spinous process (i.e., the neck bone), aligned the stationary arm to the thoracic spine, and aligned the movement arm to the posterior midline of the head. The examiner instructed a subject to lean the head to the right/left side as far as possible. What did joint movement the examiner assess?
Cervical Spine Lateral Flexion
How are the height of hurdles for the huddle step test and the length between legs for the inline lunge test determined?
The length of the tibia
Mention an example of agonist muscle each joint (i.e., hip, knee, ankle) during barbell back squat
Hip: Gluteus Maximum Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus
Knee: Rectus Femoris, Vastus lateralis/medialis/intermedius
Ankle: Gastrocnemius
Perform "Active Straight Leg Raise" and score properly
• Lay flat with the back of your knees against the 2x6 with your toes pointing up.
• Place both arms next to your body with the palms facing up.
• Pull the toes of your right foot toward your shin.
• With the right leg remaining straight and the back of your left knee maintaining contact with the 2x6, raise your right foot as high as possible.
Walking/Running Velocity (meter/minute) ÷ Stride Rate (stride/minute)
An examiner placed the axis of the goniometer at the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) of the measuring leg and aligns the stationary arm with the opposite ASIS. The movement arm was aligned with the femur of the measuring leg. The examiner instructed the subject to bring the leg away from the body with the leg straight. What joint movement did the examiner assess?
Hip abduction
Mention all the 7 movements in the Functional Movement Screen.
Deep Squat, Hurdle Steps, Inline Lunge, Shoulder Mobility, Active Straight Leg Raise, Trunk Stability Push-up, Rotary Stability
Why are muscles stronger in eccentric contractions than in isometric and concentric contractions?
Because there are structural proteins (called Titin) only activated during "catching/controlling motion"
Perform a range of motion analysis for "Thoraco-lumbar Spine Lateral Flexion" and appropriately read the value.
make sure to correctly place the body of goniometer, stationary arm, and movement arm
