A COTA is instructing a patient who has wrist extensor tendinitis in his home exercise program.  The patient needs to be instructed in a superficial heating modality prior to beginning his exercises.  Which of the following would be most effective for this patient to include in his home program?

Plyometric training would be appropriate for:

When performing an US treatment, it is always important to:

Balance and coordination tests are often separated from balance and coordination treatment techniques.

When a muscle contracts, the __________ fibers are generally recruited to fire first, because there is a smaller amount of force needed to cause a contraction and because they are used more in ADL type tasks.

Mr. I.B. Sedentary is a 55 year-old male who recently was rehabilitating a (R) Total Knee Replacement.  He was released by his MD for full activities (including recreational activities.)   He states his knee feels really good but he fatigues very quickly.    You are asked to council regarding appropriate long-term endurance exercise program to help him lose weight and continue to improve his endurance.  Assume he is healthy and takes no medication unless stated otherwise. In accordance with the recommendations from the American College of Sports Medicine, you would recommend him to participate in which of the following:

As the force of a concentric muscle contraction increases, the velocity at which the limb can move against that resistance will _______.
