PT rehab Test 2 Quiz Questions and
review
1. Afferent proprioceptors are located in skin, muscle, tendons, and joints.: -
true
2. Generally, the faster the rate of muscle concentric action, the greater the internal resistance, so
the muscle cannot produce as much external force as it can when the muscle contracts more slowly.:
true
3. A person must have balance to be able to walk.: true
4. A factor that determines muscle strength is the muscle's length.: true
5. Isometric strengthening exercises are commonly used in the early phases of rehabilitation to
reduce the application of excessive stress.: true
6. The brain stem is where conscious correction of motor performance origi- nates.: false
7. Identify and define one test that can be used to assess balance.: Romberg test. The Romberg
test is used for the clinical assessment of patients with disequi- librium or ataxia from sensory
and motor disorders.
8. Recovery from isometric activity occurs more rapidly than from isotonic activity.: true
9. Each strengthening exercise should have a goal and a reason for inclusion in a therapeutic
exercise program.: true
10.Balance is a function of the: somatosensory system, vestibular system, ocu- lomotor system
11.Overload of exercise resistance for the muscles can improve strength: true
12.Group II Joint and Ligament Afferent Receptors have a large diameter and no myelination: false
1/8

13.Performing an activity with increased repetitions and accuracy leads to the development of an
activity: engram
14.Actin filaments shorten as they slide over the myosin filaments to contract the muscle.: false
15.A factor that determines muscle strength is the muscle's fiber arrange- ment.: true
16. You are helping a sprinter early in his rehabilitation program. You should not have him perform:
17.What receptors assist position sense when joint and ligament propriocep- tors are damaged
following an injury?: muscle spindles
18.When having someone perform new coordination activities in a therapeutic exercise program, the
clinician should have the patient continue to work at that activity after fatigue and decreased
accuracy have occurred.: false
19.A factor that determines muscle strength is the muscle's cross-sectional size: true
20.Tetanus is a sustained maximal contraction of a muscle: false
2/8
