UPDATED Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Corrective exercise - Correct Answer- A term used to describe the
systematic process of identifying a
neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction,
developing a plan of action, and
implementing an integrated corrective
strategy.
Corrective Exercise Continuum - Correct Answer- The systematic programming process
used to address neuromusculoskeletal
dysfunction through the use of inhibitory,
lengthening, activation, and integration
techniques
Inhibitory techniques - Correct Answer- Corrective exercise techniques used to release
tension or decrease activity of overactive
neuromyofascial tissues in the body.
Lengthening techniques - Correct Answer- Corrective exercise techniques used to
increase the extensibility, length, and range
of motion of neuromyofascial tissues in the
body.
Activation techniques - Correct Answer- Corrective exercise techniques used
to reeducate or increase activation of
underactive tissues.
,Corrective exercise techniques used to
retrain the collective synergistic function of
all muscles through functionally progressive
movements. - Correct Answer- Integration techniques
the International Obesity Task Force - Correct Answer- In 1985, deemed the prevalence of
obesity________________
an epidemic
one third 33% - Correct Answer- Today, approximately _______ of adults are estimated to be
obese
overweight - Correct Answer- 18% of today's adolescents and teenagers are considered
40 years ago - Correct Answer- Research suggests that musculoskeletal pain is more common
now than it was__________because of the advancements of technology and manuallabor-
saving
devices.
1 million ambulatory care (doctor) visits per year - Correct Answer- In the general
population, plantar fasciitis accounts for more than
$26 billion - Correct Answer- It has been estimated that the annual costs attributable to low-
back pain in the
United States are greater than
21% of the general population - Correct Answer- Shoulder pain is reported to occur in up to
higher the risk of injury? - Correct Answer- The less conditioned our musculoskeletal systems
are, the higher the risk of injury?
R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compress, elevate). - Correct Answer- According to the text, a
comprehensive corrective exercise strategy using the
,Corrective Exercise Continuum includes all of the following steps EXCEPT:
Biomechanics - Correct Answer- A study that uses principles of physics
to quantitatively study how forces
interact within a living body
Force - Correct Answer- An influence applied by one object to another, which results in an
acceleration or deceleration of the second object.
Rotary motion - Correct Answer- Movement of the bones around the joints
Torque - Correct Answer- A force that produces rotation
Antagonists - Correct Answer- Muscles that act in direct opposition to prime movers
Synergists - Correct Answer- Muscles that assist prime movers during functional movement
patterns.
Stabilizers - Correct Answer- Muscles that support or stabilize the body while the prime
movers and the synergists perform the movement patterns.
Motor behavior - Correct Answer- Th e human movement system's response to internal and
external environmental stimuli
Motor control - Correct Answer- Th e study of posture and movements with the involved
structures and mechanisms used by the central nervous system to assimilate and integrate
sensory information with previous experiences
Motor learning - Correct Answer-
Motor development - Correct Answer- Th change in motor behavior with time throughout the
lifespan
, Internal (sensory) feedback - Correct Answer- Th e process by which sensory information is
used by the body via length-tension relationships, force-couple relationships, and
arthrokinematics to monitor movement and the environment.
External (augmented) feedback - Correct Answer- Information provided by some external
source, for example, a health and fitness professional, videotape, mirror, or heart rate monitor.
Knowledge of results - Correct Answer- Used after the completion of a movement to inform
individuals about the outcome of their performance
Knowledge of performance - Correct Answer- Provides information about the quality of the
movement
Length-tension relationship - Correct Answer- The resting length of a muscle and the tension
the muscle can produce at this resting length.
Force-velocity curve - Correct Answer- The relationship of a muscle's ability to produce
tension at differing shorting velocites
Force-couple - Correct Answer- The synergistic action of muscles to produce movement
around a joint
Local musculature system - Correct Answer- Muscles that are predominantly involved in
joint support or stabilization.
Global musculature system - Correct Answer- Muscles responsible predominantly for
movement and consisting of more superficial musculature that originates from the pelvis to
the rib cage, the lower extremities, or both
Sensory information - Correct Answer- The data that the central nervous system receives
from sensory receptors to determine such things as the boidy's position in space and limb
orientation, as well as information about the environment, temperature, texture
Sensation - Correct Answer- A process by which sensory information is received by the
receptor and transferred either to the spinal cord for reflexive motor behavior, to higher
cortical areas for processing, or both.
