Question

41a. What is the purpose of pulling up on one end of the towel during the cervical rotation with towel corrective?

1. Promote cervical flexion
2. Restrict motion of the cervical facet joints
3. Promote upglide of the cervical facet joints on that side
4. Promote downglide of the cervical facet joints on that side

b. A stiff/shortened pectoralis minor causes which compensation of the scapula?

1. Posterior tilt
2. Retraction
3. Anterior tilt
4. Depression

c. Regarding the ball wall push with hip hinge corrective, what is the purpose of using a progressively smaller ball over time?

1. To create a more stable contact point
2. To create a more unstable contact point
3. To increase activation of the pectoralis muscles
4. None of the above

d. What muscles are primarily targeted when your client performs the posterior shoulder ball roll?

1. Rhomboids and lats
2. Serratus anterior and rhomboids
3. Infraspinatus and teres minor/major
4. Supraspinatus and upper trapezius

e. Excessive anterior pelvic tilt is typically associated with weakness/inhibition of which two muscle groups?

1. Thoracolumbar extensors and hamstrings
2. Glutes and abdominals
3. Hamstrings and hip flexors
4. Quadriceps and calves

f. Why is static stretching of the hamstrings not recommended for a person with anterior pelvic tilt?

1. It could create more pelvic instability because the hamstrings are "locked long"
2. Because the hamstrings already have plenty of mobility
3. It could create more pelvic instability since the hamstrings are "locked short"
4. Because the hamstrings should never be stretched

g. For a client with excessive posterior pelvic tilt, what is the purpose of the cat-camel exercise?

1. Reduce spinal friction and restrict anterior pelvic tilt
2. Increase spinal friction and promote anterior pelvic tilt
3. Reduce spinal friction and promote anterior pelvic tilt
4. Increase spinal friction and promote posterior pelvic tilt

h. Why is it important to learn how to identify compensations seen during the modified Thomas Test?

1. Because most people have excessive mobility of the anterior hip muscles
2. Because most people have stiff hamstrings and weak glutes
3. Because the test identifies poor lumbopelvic control
4. Because most people have short/stiff anterior hip muscles

i. Your client is performing the foam roll mobility drill for her right quadriceps. How should you instruct her during the drill?

1. "Your right quadriceps should stay fully contracted."
2. "Your right quadriceps should remain completely relaxed."
3. "Your right quadriceps should stay partially contracted."
4. None of the above

j. Your client demonstrates right knee valgus while performing a lunge or squat. Which of the following muscles is likely to be overactive and have sore trigger points?

1. Left gluteus medius
2. Right gluteus medius
3. Right tensor fascia latae (TFL)
4. Right vastusmedius
