Question 5

In a rehabilitation process, the POLICE technique is used to:

B) limit the amount of swelling.
C) regain balance.
D) restore cardiorespiratory fitness.

Question 6

When does the rehabilitation process start?

A) After the swelling has gone down after an acute injury
B) When the athlete is strong enough to do exercises
C) Immediately after the injury has occurred
D) When the athlete feels comfortable enough to begin rehabilitation

Question 7

Which kind of strengthening exercises are used commonly in the early phase of rehabilitation?

A) Isometric exercises
B) Progressive resistive exercises
C) Isokinetic exercises
D) Plyometric exercises

Question 8

Increasing static strength and decreasing atrophy can best be accomplished by using what method of exercise?

A) Accommodating resistance exercises
B) Isokinetic exercises
C) Isotonic exercises
D) Isometric exercises

Question 9

In a rehabilitation program, which of the following types of muscular strengthening exercises is used primarily for diagnosis?

A) Plyometric exercises
B) Isokinetic exercises
C) Isotonic exercises
D) Isometric exercises

Question 10

Exercises that utilize both concentric and eccentric contractions in which force is generated against resistance while the muscle is changing in length are called:

A) isometric exercises.
B) progressive resistive exercises.
C) functional strengthening exercises.
D) isokinetic exercises.

Question 11

Which of the following types of exercise is used to facilitate a muscle contraction through a quick stretch?

A) Isometric exercises
B) Progressive resistive exercises
C) Isokinetic exercises
D) Plyometric exercises

Question 12

Incorporating aquatic exercises in a rehabilitation program helps to:

A) increase static strength.
B) maintain cardiorespiratory fitness.
C) improve dynamic power movements.
D) regulate amounts of atrophy.

Question 13

Which of the following is used to determine an athlete's ability to perform a specific activity?

A) Functional testing
B) Isometric exercises
C) Electric simulation
D) The POLICE technique

Question 14

Which of the following modalities can be used to modulate acute pain?

A) Ice
B) Exercise
C) Heat
D) Massage

Question 15

Which of the following components of a rehabilitation program is most commonly neglected?

A) Strength training
B) Neuromuscular control
C) Cardiorespiratory fitness
D) Balance training

Question 16

Which of the following therapeutic modalities is most often used to increase blood and lymphatic flow?

A) Electrotherapy
B) Ultrasound
C) Traction
D) Thermotherapy

Question 17

An athlete's physician makes the final decision whether he/she can return to full competition and practice.

Question 18

A long-term goal of any rehabilitation program is to return the athlete to participation as quickly and as safely as possible.

Question 19

Full range of motion of an affected body part is a major criterion before the athlete returns to participation.

Question 20

Functional progressions must be incorporated into a rehabilitation program to help the athlete achieve normal range of motion, adequate strength, and neuromuscular control.

Question 21

During progressive resistance exercise, both eccentric and concentric isotonic contractions are incorporated.

Question 22

The single most neglected part of every rehabilitation program is balance training.

Question 23

When using a plastic ice pack, apply it directly to the skin and hold it in place with an elastic bandage.

Question 24

Heat should be introduced after at least 72 hours postinjury.

Question 25

In the context of therapeutic modalities, ultrasound is used to increase blood flow.
