A patient performs PNF D1 exercises for both upper extremities simultaneously.  This technique is referred to as?

An OTA is performing PNF to a patient’s (L) scapula.  The verbal cues given to the patient are: “Pull your shoulder toward your nose; Push you shoulder back and down toward your (R) hip.”  What scapular pattern is being facilitated? 

During observation of a patient performing (R) shoulder abduction exercises, an OTA notices the patient is leaning to the (L) and shrugging the shoulders while performing the exercise.  These “additional” motions are referred to as:

An OTA is performing PNF techniques to a patient’s (L) UE.  The patient has an old fracture of the humerus (healed) and resultant weakness in the biceps and anterior deltoid.    The OTA is able to facilitate an improved response in the biceps and deltoid by providing max resistance to the stronger wrist and finger flexors.  This concept is referred to as:

An OTA is developing a resistance exercise program with the goal of increasing muscle endurance for the biceps.  With this goal in mind, what is the appropriate repetition range for this program?

This type of strengthening exercise should be used to develop co-contraction of muscles around a weakened or unstable joint.

All of the following are types of isometrics except:

According to Colby and Kisner, studies indicate that which types of muscle fibers are recruited first during a muscle contraction?

During the application of PNF procedures, approximation of the joints will facilitate which movements?

Timing is the component that allows one to have a coordinated movement.
