What are plyometric exercises? - ANSWER Rapid concentric contraction
usually used in patients who are returning to a high level of function or return to
sports.
At which phase of healing are plyometric exercises MOST appropriate?
A) Inflammatory
B) Maturation
C) Proliferation
D) Both maturation and proliferation - ANSWER B) Maturation
At which phase of healing are isometric exercises LEAST appropriate?
A) Maturation
B) Inflammatory
C) Proliferation
D) All of the above - ANSWER A) Maturation
You can still do them but there is not much benefit
What are muscle setting isometric exercises? - ANSWER A constant switch
from squeezing to relaxing *NO HOLDING*

seconds, and relax
What kind of isometric exercises would you do with a patient that is in the

How would you test a patient that has vestibular system issues? - ANSWER
Have the patient in sitting and perform the gaze stabilization exam **DO NOT
HAVE THEM STANDING BECAUSE THEY CAN GET DIZZY AND
FALL*
What is defined as the body maintaining equilibrium by keeping the center of
gravity within the base of support? - ANSWER Balance
What is defined as sway boundaries in which an individual can maintain
equilibrium without changing BOS? - ANSWER Limits of stability
What factor will affect a patient's balance the MOST?
A) 3/5 everters muscle strength
B) Footwear with no arch support
C) Decrease sensory input
D) A and C - ANSWER C) Decreased sensory input because this means that
the patient can have somatosensory issues
