POPULATIONS EXAM 2026
How do you train local stabilizers? - ANSWER-low-load, neutral position,
closed-chain exercises, and proprioceptive challenge
How do you train global stabilizers? - ANSWER-low to medium load, eccentric
control, and full range of motion and proprioceptive challenge
How do you train global mobilizers? - ANSWER-higher loads with concentric
contraction and full range of motion, plyometric and explosive movements
What is the Primary Sling? - ANSWER-transversus abdominis, multifidi, pelvic
floor, diaphragm
What is the Posterior Oblique Sling? - ANSWER-latissimus dorsi, contralateral
gluteus maximus, and posterior thoracolumbar fascia (TLF)
- Shoulder Bridge
,What is the Anterior Oblique Sling? - ANSWER-external oblique, contralateral
internal oblique, contralateral hip adductors
- Double-Leg Stretch with a ball between the thighs
- decreased in Pregnant clients
What is the Deep Longitudinal Sling? - ANSWER-erector spinae, deep
thoracolumbar fascia (TLF), sacrotuberous ligament, multifidus, long dorsal
ligament, biceps femoris, peroneus longus
- Single-Leg Kick and Shoulder Bridge
the link between the gluteals and hamstring balance (TLF and ES
transmitenergy from above the pelvis while the BF communicates bewteen the
pelvis and lower extremities). the deep longitudinal sling will take over takes
over if there is a weak posterior oblique sling.
What is the Lateral Sling? - ANSWER-gluteus medius and minimus, tensor
fascia latae, contralateral adductors, contralateral quadratus lumborum
- Scissors, Side-Lying Leg Series (clam), Standing Side Splits, Skating

experience arising from actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms
of such damage

weak/inhibited, and what posture is associated with it? - ANSWER-1. upper
trapezius, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis major and minor
2. deep cervical flexors, lower trapezius, middle trapezius, serrator anterior
3. forward head posture, increased thoracic spine kyphosis, increased cervical
spine lordosis, elevated and protracted shoulders, and scapular winging
(common in those who sit most of the day)
,In Lower Crossed Syndrome (LCS), what is tight/facilitated and what is
weak/inhibited, and what posture is associated with it? - ANSWER-1.
thoracolumbar extensors, iliopsoas, rectus femoris
2. abdominal group, gluteal muscles (maximus, medius, minimus)
3. anterior pelvic tilt, increased lumbar lordosis, lateral lumbar shift, lateral leg
rotation and knee hyperextension
What are the lumbar spine Local Stabilizers? - ANSWER-tranversus abdominis,
multifidi, rotatores, interspinales, pelvic floor, diaphragm
What are the lumbar spine Global Stabilizers? - ANSWER-external and internal
obliques, gluteal muscles, adductor brevis and magnus, tensor fascia latae

sternocleidomastoid, levator scapulae (with scapula fixed), scalenes, splenius
capitis and cervicis, upper trapezius (with scapula fixed), erector spinae
What is Swayback posture and what would be an appropriate program to
address the issue? - ANSWER-1. posterior pelvis tilt, flattening of lumbar spine,
increased kyphosis of thoracic spine, forward head with slightly extended
cervical spine, hyperextended hip and knee joints. upper trunk deviates
backward.
2. focus on strengthening the deep cervical flexors, upper back extensors and
external obliques. stretch hamstrings
What is Hyperlordosis and what would be an appropriate program to address the
issue? - ANSWER-1. anterior pelvis tilt, hyperextended (excessive lordosis)
lumbar spine, normal thoracic curve, neutral head position, mildly
hyperextended knees. can be associated with LCS and dancers
2. strengthen abdominals, gluteals and hamstrings. stretch the low back
extensors and hip flexors
What is Kyphotic-Lordotic and what would be an appropriate program to
address the issue? - ANSWER-1. anterior pelvic tilt, excessive lordosis in
lumbar spine, knees mildly hyperextended, head is forward with a
hyperextended cervical spine, protracted scapula, excessivly kyphotic thoracic
spine (UCS and LCS)
2. strengthen deep cervical flexors, thoracic extensors, external obliques, and
hamstrings. stretch neck extensors and hip flexors.
