When performing passive range of motion with gentle stretching at end range, it is important only to perform techniques within the anatomic cardinal planes of motion.

Match the functional deficit with the most appropriate primary therapeutic exercise intervention focus.

Aaron sustained a left anterior shoulder dislocation 8 days ago. He demonstrates muscle guarding through the left upper quarter. Ballistic stretching would be an appropriate intervention to improve left shoulder range of motion at this time. 

Physical therapists should try to use multiple motor learning mechanisms in their rehabilitation programs versus focusing on a single stratgy.

Mr. Doxtator experiences chronic left knee effusion. An X-ray reveals diminished joint space and osteophyte formation. As a result, Mr. Doxtator lacks 15 degrees of left knee extension, causing him to walk with a limp. Which type of contracture is most likely present?

In a population, the frequency of allele B is 0.4 and the frequency of allele b is 0.6. What percentage of individuals in the population will have the genotype BB if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Dynamic stretching is recommended in the warm-up phase of an exercise session for the following reasons (select all that apply):

What type of change in performance is necessary for the physical therapist to consider that motor learning has genuinely occurred?

While balance training with Gladys, you focus on improving her ability to use an ankle motor strategy to maintain balance. In standing, you perform gentle perturbations (pushes) on her anterior shoulders, pushing Gladys backward. Which muscle groups would be primarily activated in this maneuver to maintain balance? 

The transtheoretical model states that behavior change involves progress through five stages of change. Arrange these stages in order from the first stage to last.
