THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE 7TH EDITION
KISNER TEST BANK EXAM STUDY GUIDE
2026 TESTED QUESTIONS WITH FULL
SOLUTION
⩥ What is the physical stress theory? Answer: Tissue adapts predictably
to the loads placed on it, leading to outcomes such as atrophy,
hypertrophy, maintenance, injury, and cell death.
⩥ What does the SAID principle stand for? Answer: Specific
Adaptations to Imposed Demands.
⩥ What are the components of muscle performance? Answer: Power,
strength, and endurance.
⩥ What is the overload principle in muscle performance enhancement?
Answer: It involves continually stressing the muscle to increase its
tolerance to demands.
⩥ What is motor learning in the context of therapeutic exercise? Answer:
The study of the nature and cause of movement, helping patients tailor
their responses and coordination when performing tasks.
, ⩥ What are the three stages of soft tissue healing? Answer: Acute
(Hemostasis), Subacute (Inflammation), and Chronic (Proliferation and
Remodeling).
⩥ What occurs during the acute stage of soft tissue healing? Answer:
Days 1-3, starts with bleeding and ends with blood clotting, where
platelets aggregate to promote clotting.
⩥ What is the primary focus during the subacute stage of soft tissue
healing? Answer: Days 3-20, controls bleeding, prevents infection, and
allows healing cells to move to the wound site.
⩥ What happens during the chronic stage of soft tissue healing? Answer:
Weeks 1-6 involve proliferation where new tissues are built, and weeks
6-2 years involve remodeling of collagen and complete wound closure.
⩥ What is the role of the inflammation response in tissue healing?
Answer: It controls bleeding and prevents infection while removing
damaged cells and pathogens from the wound area.
⩥ What are the structural properties of collagen? Answer: Provides
strength and stiffness to resist tensile loads.
⩥ What is the function of elastin in connective tissue? Answer: Provides
extensibility to tissue.
