A 62-year-old male patient is recovering from a left MCA hemorrhagic stroke that resulted in right upper extremity weakness. Which of the following movements would give the therapist at least 78% confidence that in 3 months he will regain functional use of the right upper extremity?

Two patients, both recovering from a stroke, are undergoing physical therapy.  Ariana is a 50-year-old woman who is 4 months post-stroke. She attends physical therapy sessions two times a week at a rehabilitation center and follows a structured home exercise program.  Bill is a 55-year-old man from who is 8 months post-stroke. He also attends physical therapy two times a week at the same rehabilitation center and follows a similar home exercise program. Question: Which patient is most likely to experience more exponential progress in recovery over the next several months?  

A 68-year-old female patient is recovering from a right MCA stroke and has been noted to have left sided hemiparesis. She has been assessed with 2-/5 strength in her left quadriceps using the Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) scale. The patient has difficulty lifting her leg off the bed and performing basic movements such as sitting up from a supine position. Question: Given the patient’s 2-/5 MMT strength in the quadriceps, what would be the best physical therapy intervention to strengthen the quadriceps?

Find functions f and g so that H(x) = (f ∘ g)(x).   Another way of writing it would be H(x) = ∣8x + 5∣ f(x)=[fx] g(x)=[gx]

Find the slope then describe what it means in terms of the rate of change of the dependent variable per unit change in the independent variable.The linear function f(x) = -9.4x + 31 models the percentage of people, f(x), who eat at fast food restaurants each week x years after 1998.
