Week 1
The Movement System is comprised of these 4 components...
Mobility
Energy
Force
Motor Control
Normal End Feel can be further categorized into 3 general descriptions...
Soft - soft tissue approximation
Firm - muscular stretch, capsular stretch, ligamentous stretch
Hard - Bone to Bone
The premise that surmises how changes in the relative level of physical stress cause a predictable adaptive response in all biological tissue.
Overload Principle
According to the literature, this is the suggested number of repetitions for AROM to any given joint...
5-10 reps
This is the most important factor to account for when creating / altering an Exercise Prescription
Patient's Goals
A muscle that assists indirectly in a movement can be classified as...
Synergist
(Agonist = prime mover
Antagonist = A muscle that can "slow down or stop" the desired movement)
Passive motion that is performed by a mechanical device that moves a joint slowly and continuously through a pre-set, controlled ROM
Continuous Passive Motion
Because Physical Stress depends on magnitude, time, and direction of force, it is considered a ______ value
Composite
This type of stretching utilizes high-speed, high-intensity, and short-duration stretch force
Ballistic Stretch
What is the worst kind of therapeutic exercise prescription?
The kind the patient will not follow
What Sesamoid bone provides the Quadriceps with increased Mechanical Advantage, and how does it do so?
Patella
Increases the length of the force / moment arm
This term refers to a biological tissue's ability to behave when influenced by varying mechanical loads in respect to both the force and velocity of mechanical load application.
Viscoelasticity
The Soreness Rules (Exercise Progression Guidelines Based on Soreness) apply to which body aspect / tissue?
JOINTS (not muscles)
This type of joint mobilization includes an isometric muscle contraction to cause accessory movement of the desired joint
Muscle Energy
Define the following terminology used to quantify and qualify mechanical work:
Mechanical work = ___________
Volume-load = ___________
Mechanical work = force x displacement
Volume-load = weight units x repetitions
What are the 4 phases of Wound Healing, and what estimated durations of each respective phase?
Hemostasis (stop bleeding) = 1-3 days
Inflammation (new framework for blood vessel growth) = 3-20 days
Proliferation/Granulation (pulls the wound closed) = 1-6 weeks
Remodeling/Maturation (final proper tissue) 6 weeks - 2 years
This zone in the Stress-Strain Curve is where a PT should aim to be when applying stretching interventions to tissue
Elastic Zone
Name at least 3 factors that when rationally influenced, can cause progression or regression in an exercise.
Task Complexity, Feedback, Contraction Type, Environment, Speed, Sequence, Mode, Start/End Position, Stability, Cognitive distraction
Due to its respective content of mitochondria and ATPase, this muscle type is the most effective in short bursts of anaerobic activity.
Type IIx
Very rarely can you isolate a muscle, but you can bias them by manipulating their position utilizing this concept framework...
Muscle Length - Tension Relationship
Demonstrate and explain the UE PNF Patterns, including the physiologic motions at each relevant joint
D1 Flexion =
(Shoulder FLEX, ADD, ER)(Forearm supination)(Wrist Radial dev)(Finger FLEX)
D1 Extension =
(Shoulder EXT, ADD, IR)(Forearm pronation)(Wrist Ulnar dev)(Finger EXT)
D2 Flexion =
(Shoulder FLEX, ABD, ER)(Forearm supination)(Wrist Radial dev)(Finger EXT)
D2 Extension =
(Shoulder EXT, ADD, IR)(Forearm pronation)(Wrist Ulnar dev)(Finger FLEX)
Demonstrate and explain the LE PNF Patterns, including the physiologic motions at each relevant joint
D1 Flexion =
(Hip FLEX, ADD, ER)(Foot Dorsiflexion, Inversion)(Toe EXT)
D1 Extension =
(HIP EXT, ABD, IR)(Foot Plantarflexion, Eversion)(Toe FLEX)
D2 Flexion =
(Hip FLEX, ABD, IR)(Foot Dorsiflexion, Eversion)(Toe EXT)
D2 Extension =
(Hip EXT, ADD, ER)(Foot Plantarflexion, Inversion)(Toe FLEX)
FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) considerations would be BEST associated with what Principle of Program Design?
Treatment Options
Patient Perspective > History & Physical Exam > Diagnosis > Treatment Options > Reassess
Eccentric training
A good Exercise program reflects a competent exercise order. What's the best way to stage/sequence the following components in a program design?
Warm-Up
Cool-down
Force (strength / power)
Mobility (physiologic / accessory)
Motor Control (facilitated / static / dynamic)
Energy (endurance / circulation / breathing)
Warm-up > Mobility (physiologic / accessory) > Motor Control (facilitated / static / dynamic) > Force (strength / power) > Energy (endurance / circulation / breathing) > Cool-down
