QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
◉ transversus abdominis vs erector spinae vs iliopsoas. Answer:
abs: internal stability vs spinal extension vs hip flexor
◉ rectus abdominis dia. Answer:
◉ internal oblique dia. Answer:
◉ external oblique dia. Answer:
◉ transversus abdominis dia. Answer:
◉ erector spinae dia. Answer:
◉ iliopsoas dia. Answer:
◉ scapula vs wrist vs ankle. Answer: protract + retract/elevate +
depress vs supination + pronation vs inversion +
eversion/dorsiflexion + plantar flexion
,◉ shoulder/hips vs neck/wrist. Answer: (2) circumduction/medial
+ lateral rotation vs (2) never
◉ hyperextension (flexion) vs abduction (protraction) vs adduction
(retraction). Answer: beyond normal joint ROM vs away from
midline vs toward midline
◉ internal vs external. Answer: rotation _ the midline:
toward/pronation vs away from/supination
◉ dorsiflexion vs plantar flexion vs
supraspinatus/infraspinatus/teres minor/subscapularis. Answer:
flexing toes: up vs down vs sits/deceleration + control
◉ concentric vs eccentric vs isometric. Answer: muscle: contracts to
shorten/elbow flexion (lifting phase of a biceps curl) vs generates
tension as lengthens (IMPORTANT)/braking mechanism/elbow
extension (lowering phase of a biceps curl) vs exerts force to
counteract opposing force/no change in muscle length occurs +
static contraction/holding arm at angle of 90° with resistance
◉ eccentric vs pause vs concentric. Answer: Tempo 4 #s or phases
(speed to move as client, 0-0-0-0): #1 vs #2 + #4/don't forget at top)
vs #3/saying "x" means explosive + "X" means jump
, ◉ quad extension vs quad flexion. Answer: squat (IMPORTANT):
concentric/top vs eccentric/bottom
◉ fibrous (skull)/cartilaginous (sternum)/(IMPORTANT) synovial
vs gliding/hinge/pivot/condyloid/saddle/ball + socket. Answer: (3)
joint classification vs (6) s-previous joint type/giant hippos pivot
chewing spicy burritos
◉ gliding vs pivot. Answer: synovial joint type: bones within wrist +
ankle (carpals/t-) vs radius + ulna (at elbow)/allowing pronation +
sup- of forearm (start with anatomical position)
◉ condyloid vs saddle. Answer: synovial joint type: "knuckles" in
each finger/in wrist + ankle vs thumb moving in various directions
◉ hinge vs ball + socket. Answer: IMPORTANT synovial joint type:
flexion + extension/elbow + knee joints vs allows movement in three
directions or planes of motion/shoulder + hip joints allowing free
movement in all directions (circumduction/flex-extend/ab-
adduct/rotate in-external + medial-lateral)
◉ tendon vs ligament. Answer: muscle-bone vs bone-bone
◉ functional (primal/basic) movement vs squat vs hinge. Answer:
next 2/lunge/push/pull vs "rip paper with feet on ground" + keep
