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.

Which PNF patterns involve pronation of the forearm? (HINT: there are two)

Individuals who experience overtraining or “burnout” typically experience a decrease in their physical performance (strength, power, and endurance).  Which of the following is a potential cause of overtraining?
