NASM CES Final Exam
A runner who experiences reoccuring episodes of plantar fascitis, shin splints and patellar tendonitis is
most likely affected by which of the following postural distortion syndromes? - Answer-pronation
distortion syndrome
An estimated ACL injuries occur annually in the general U.S. population. - Answer-80,000 to 100,000
During an overhead squat you notice an asymmetrical weight shift, which muscles could be underactive?
- Answer-gluteus medius on the side of the shift
During an overhead squat you have low back rounds compensation, which muscles could be
underactive? - Answer-erector spinae
During the overhead squat assessment, the compensation of knees move inward can be attributed by
overactivity of which muscles? - Answer-vastus lateralis
Florence and Henry Kendall addressed postural deviations through the relationship of ? - Answer-
agonist-antagonist muscle groups
Flexion of the ankle is called - Answer-dorsiflexion
For a foot and ankle impairment what muscle should receive SMR? - Answer-biceps femoris
If the knees move inward what muscles would receive static stretching? - Answer-TFL
, If client demonstrates an asymmetric shift which muscles should receive static stretching? - Answer-TFL
same side
If low back arches which muscles should receive SMR? - Answer-Latissimus dorsi
Functionally tightened or overactive muscles accompanying the lower extremity movement impairment
syndrome include - Answer-peroneals, gastrocnemius, soleus, hamstrings, IT band, adductors
Having an excessive forward lean in an overhead squat during LPHC movement compensation what
muscles may be overactive? - Answer-soleus
A low back arch in the overhead squat indicates what muscles are overactive? - Answer-hip flexors
Hips that are shifted off the midline are most likely indicative of - Answer-load-bearing habits to the side
How many postural distortion patterns were identified by Janda? - Answer-3
If a client sits all day this in turn can lead to tight______ that can cause postural imbalances? - Answer-
hip flexors
If the client has a hip hike during the single leg squat which muscle is underactive? - Answer-adductor
complex
If the hip drops during a single leg squat which muscle is underactive? - Answer-quadratus lumborum
In the asymmetrical shift which muscles are most likely underactive? - Answer-opposite side anterior
