According to the definition of therapeutic exercise and the goal of designing an individualized
program of therapeutic exercise, the physical therapist might develop a therapeutic exercise program
in order to:
Restore function through the elimination of body structure impairments
Improve function but not to remediate or reduce disability

Remediate activity limitations but not to reduce health-related risk factors - ANSWER: Optimize
overall health status, fitness, or sense of well-being
According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) endorsed by
the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), a rotator cuff tear is considered a(n):

You are treating a patient with weak hip abductors (muscle grade is 2/5). Which of the following ROM
exercises is most appropriate to prevent tightness of the hip adductors and maintain the current level
of strength of the hip abductors?
1. Perform passive abduction of the hip with the patient positioned in the supine position
2. Have the patient perform active hip abduction through the available ROM while positioned in the
side-lying position
, 3. Have the patient perform active hip abduction through the available ROM while positioned in the
supine position as you support the weight of the leg
4. Perform passive abduction of the hip with the patient positioned in the side-lying position -
ANSWER: Have the patient perform active hip abduction through the available ROM while positioned
in the supine position as you support the weight of the leg
Which of the following PROM exercises provides the most flexion of the lumbar spine?
Single knee to chest
Posterior pelvic tilt with the patient lying supine with hips/knees at 45°/90°
Posterior pelvic tilt with patient lying supine
Double knees to chest - ANSWER: Double knees to chest
Mr. J underwent a repair of a torn biceps brachii 2 days ago. During PROM exercises, which
combination of motions should you avoid at end range to protect (not disrupt) the healing tissue?
Elbow extension, shoulder extension, forearm supination
Elbow extension, shoulder flexion, forearm pronation
Elbow extension, shoulder flexion, forearm supination
Elbow extension, shoulder extension, forearm pronation - ANSWER: Elbow extension, shoulder
extension, forearm pronation
In order to maintain the web space of the hand, it is important to maintain which of the following
motions of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb?
Adduction and flexion
Abduction and extension
Adduction and extension
Abduction and flexion - ANSWER: Abduction and extension
The most effective and safe way to perform passive pronation and supination of the forearm is to:
1. Grasp the patient's hand around the metacarpals and perform ROM while maintaining the elbow in
extension
2. Grasp the patient's forearm just proximal of the wrist and perform ROM while maintaining the
elbow in extension
3. Grasp the patient's forearm just proximal of the wrist and perform ROM while maintaining the
elbow in flexion
4. Grasp the patient's hand around the metacarpals and perform ROM while maintaining the elbow in
flexion - ANSWER: Grasp the patient's forearm just proximal of the wrist and perform ROM while
maintaining the elbow in flexion
To maintain gains in ROM achieved as the result of a stretching program, it is recommended to:
Use the stretch-induced gains in ROM during functional activities as soon as able on a regular basis
Perform daily resistance training of the muscle group opposite the stretched muscle
Apply heat on a daily basis to the lengthened muscle groups
Perform daily resistance training of the stretched muscle - ANSWER: Use the stretch-induced gains in
ROM during functional activities as soon as able on a regular basis
Of the following choices, which is the most appropriate application of the hold-relax (contract-relax)
method of muscle inhibition and elongation of the gastrocnemius muscle? Extend the patient's knee,
stabilize the lower leg, and:
1. Place the patient's ankle in a fully plantar flexed position. Have the patient concentrically contract
the dorsiflexors against your manual resistance through as much ROM as possible.
