Pt. is 40 year female/male post-surgical repair of R Achilles tendon during a basketball game. PROM limitations include DF 0/firm; PF 30/firm; inversion/eversion WNL. Pt. is 50% accurate in proprioception around R ankle. All ankle motions are 2/5. The patient is just entering controlled motion-the best exercise/activity to start to work on kinesthesia of the ankle is:  

When performing a manual stretch to the gastrocs in supine, the point of stabilization is the:

When using the “What? Why? How?” format to teach a new exercise to a patient, the “Why?” is:  

The phase of recovery in which you would concentrate on maintaining current ROM, retard atrophy with isometrics, and give pt. an assistive device to reduce load on limb is…

After an episode of care, the PT documents: “(1) Pt. performed SLR x 10. 0-30°. (2) Pt. able to keep knee at 0° 8/10 trials. (3) Effort reported PE 6/10.” Statement (2) and (3) are:  

A patient in controlled motion has regained the 10 degrees of terminal extension in the knee. You want the patient to regain proprioception of WB and movement within that new range. All of the following are appropriate exercises EXCEPT:

A patient s/p TKA is in the controlled motion phase of recovery. Pt. is lacking 10 degrees of terminal knee extension. The best position to use for self-stretch to gain knee extension is:

A patient is learning three new tasks to increase strength of the R knee. The tasks are a) wall slides BLE, b) mini squats to 18” height chair, and c) leg press with total gym. The most appropriate initial practice parameters are:

70 yr patient is 7 days post L THA and is allowed FWB on the L hip. Pt. is in controlled motion and the therapist is trying to address stability of the L hip in standing. All of the following address stability. The best exercise to address the problem is:  

Which of the following exercises that address hypomobility of the hip flexors also addresses standing balance?
