Mobility Part 1&2 Review

Which of the following occurs when a muscle is positioned so that it is too short to produce much tension?

• Functional excursion

• Active insufficiency

• Passive insufficiency

• Range of motion

Which of the following is a precaution to ROM as an intervention?

• Motion is disruptive to healing

• Increased pain & inflammation

• Patient response is life-threatening

• Assist with circulation

Which of the following is an indication for stretching?

• Restricted motion may lead to preventable deformities

• ROM is limited because of bony limitations

• Shortened muscles are needed for stability

• Stretching will help reduce inflammation

To maintain gains in ROM achieved as the result of a stretching program, it is recommended to:

• Use the stretch-induced gains in ROM during functional activities as soon as able on a regular basis

• Perform daily resistance training of the muscle group opposite the stretched muscle

• Apply heat on a daily basis to the lengthened muscle groups

• Perform daily resistance training of the stretched muscle

Focus on the wrist position in the image. What muscle(s) are being stretched?

• Flexor carpi radialis

• Extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis

• Palmaris longus

• Flexor carpi ulnaris and extensor carpi ulnaris

You are treating a patient with weak left shoulder flexors (MMT 2/5). Which of the following exercises is most appropriate to maintain the available motion and current level of strength of the shoulder flexors?

• Perform passive shoulder flexion with the patient in supine

• Have the patient perform active shoulder flexion through the available range while in supine

• Perform passive shoulder flexion with the patient in right sidelying

• Have the patient perform active shoulder flexion through the available range in right sidelying while you support the weight of the arm
