PTAP 1320- MIDTERM - QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | 2026 UPDATE | 100% CORRECT.
what phase would you perform grade I and II? - (answer)ACUTE- to decrease pain and move synovial
fluid
what phase would you perform grade III and IV? - (answer)proliferation, maturation; NOT USED IN
INFLAMMATORY- restore joint play in pts. with decreased ROM, stretching of the joint capsule
stretching - (answer)-proliferative
-treats tightness, musculotendinous contracture, joint limitation of motion, development of adhesions,
bone spurs, joint effusion, irreversible contracture
PNF - (answer)-proliferative
-used for PROM, stretching, strengthening therapeutic exercises
plyometrics - (answer)-maturation
-improve power, vertical jump, jumping distance, prevent injury, improve throwing reactivity, distance,
and coordination
coordination - (answer)-maturation
-improve ability to rapidly alternating and changing movements; eye hand coordination
agility - (answer)-maturation
-improve motor control of footwork/handwork, ability to control speed, switch from one motor activity
to another, coordination
RROM - (answer)-maturation
-improves with strength
PROM - (answer)-acute
-when AAROM/AROM through full ROM is not possible
, PTAP 1320- MIDTERM - QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | 2026 UPDATE | 100% CORRECT.
AAROM - (answer)-acute
-when AROM is not possible because pt. is weak, does not grade 3/5
AROM - (answer)-acute, proliferation
-generally used for effects described in previous slide if not contraindicated
systems that affect balance - (answer)1. vestibular
2. visual
3. proprioceptive
3 general balance strategies - (answer)-ankle
-hip
-stepping
ankle strategy - (answer)small perturbations controlled primarily through ankle motions/muscles
hip strategy - (answer)moderate to large perturbations controlled primarily through hip motion and
musculature
stepping strategy - (answer)large perturbations that require stepping to enlarge the BOS to prevent
falling
anticipatory balance - (answer)activation of postural muscles in advance of performing activity; reaching
reactive balance - (answer)in response to external perturbation; PT/PTA pushing on patient
hold relax - (answer)contracting the tight muscle activates the golgi tendon organ, it provides feedback
to relax the muscle as a protected mechanism known as AUTOGENIC INHIBITION
