Therapeutic Interventions Exam 1
Why are patients and clients referred for PT services typically? - correct answer Physical impairments
associated with disorders of the movement system caused by injury, disease or health-related
conditions that restrict their abilities
-also for people that want to improve overall fitness and QOL to reduce risk of injury/disease
Fundamental component of PT services - correct answer individually designed therapeutic exercise
program
Therapeutic exercise - correct answer one of the key elements at the center of programs desigened
to improve/restore an individual function or to prevent dysfunction
-systematic, planned performance of physical movements, postures, or activities intended to provide a
patient/client with means to... (see card 2.)
Therapeutic exercise helps patients to have the means to (card 2) - correct answer -remediate or
prevent impairments of body functions or structures
-improve, restore, or enhance activities and participation
-prevent or reduce health-related risk factors
-optimize overall health, fitness, or sense of well-being
What are CPT codes? What is 97110? 97112?97530? - correct answer 97110: therapeutic exercise to
develop strength and endurance, ROM and flexibility
97112: neuromuscular reeducation of movement, balance, coordination, kinesthetic sense, posture
and/pr propioception for sitting and/or standing activiites (moveemnt patterns)
97530: dynamic activities to imprice functional performance, direct with the patient; ADL's
-How we bill for interventions
Patient - correct answer individual with impairments and function deficits diagnosed by a PT and is
receiving PT
,Client - correct answer individual without diagnosed movement dysfunction who engages in PT
services to promote health and wellness and to prevent dysfunction
The ability to work at home, workplace, community, during activities independently contignent upon... -
correct answer physical, psychological and social function
Multidimensional aspects of physical function/fitness - correct answer -encompass diverse,
interrelated areas of movement performance
-muscle performance, cardiopulmonary/endurance, mobility/flexibility, neuromuscular
control/coordination, stability, balance/postural equilibrium
Balance - correct answer the ability to align body segments against gravity to maintain or move the
body (center of mass) within the available base of support without falling; ability of body movement in
equilibrium with gravity via intersection of the sensory and motor systems
Cardiopulmonary endurance - correct answer ability to perform moderate intensity, repetitive, total
body movements over an extended period of time; aka cardiopulmonary fitness
coordination - correct answer the correct timing and sequencing of muscle firing combined with the
appropriate intensity of muscular contraction leading to the effective initiation, guiding and grading of
movement; basis of smooth, accurate, efficient movement and occurs at a conscious or automatic level
Flexibility - correct answer the ability to move freely, w/o restriction; aka mobility
Mobility - correct answer the ability of structures of segment of the body to move or be moved in
order to allow the occurrence of ROM for functional activities
-passive mobility is dependent on soft tissue extensibility (contractile and noncontractile)
-active mobility requires neuromuscular activation
Muscle performance - correct answer capacity of muscle to produce tension and do physical work;
encompasses strength, power, and muscular endurance
,What is neuromuscular control? What do we use it for in interventions? - correct answer -Interaction
of the sensory and motor systems that enables synergists, agonists and antagonists, as well as stabilizers
and neutralizers to anticipate or respond to proprioceptive and kinesthetic information and,
subsequently, to work in correct sequence to create coordinated movement.
-correct timing and sequencing of muscle firing combined with appropriate intensity (muscle
contracting) leads to initiation and guiding to creating a movement; smooth accurate and efficient
movement
-instructing patient to be aware of their body when doing an exercise, re-learning movements
postural control, postural stability, and equilibrium - correct answer used interchangeably with static
or dynamic balance
Stability - correct answer -the ability of the neuromusuclar system through synergistic muscle actions
to hold a proximal or distal body segment in a stationary position or to control a stable base during
superimposed movement
-joint stability: maintenance of proper alignment of bony partners of a joint by means or
passive/dynamic components
What force is constant and what systems does it affect? - correct answer Gravity
-affects musculoskeletal, neuromuscular and circulatory systems
Functional Movement Screen Optimal Performance Pyramid - correct answer -how we move and hot
it relates to functional activities
-helps determine how well you move and present good goals in activities tailored to you
Functional Movement - correct answer -Foundation of the FMS
-ability to move well without limitations and with balance
-fundamental movement patterns: being well balanced, having static/dynamic stability, showing full
ROM, good movement control and body awareness, good posture
-measured with functional movement screen, perform 7 different movements and graded on a 3 step
scale (3= optimal, 2=some deficits, 1= significant movement pattern deficits, 0=pain)
-i.e. deep squat, lunge
, Functional Performance - correct answer - have good functional movements before moving onto
performance
-ability so sustain quality of movement and repeated work without fatigue
-gross athleticism: strength, power, endurance, relates to ability to jump and run
-good functional movement, usually excel in functional performance
Functional Skill - correct answer -Top of the pyramid
-sport specific skill; how well you perform in your specific sport skill; competition statistics and any
specific testing related to that sport
-i.e. lay up, kicking a field goal
How do forces benefit the body? What happens if you have too much or too little stress? - correct
answer -forces during routine physical activity can help the body maintain a functional level of
strength, cardiopulmonary fitness and mobility
-too much: acute injuries (sprains/fractures) or chronic conditions (stress fractures)
-too little: degeneration, degradation, deformity; decreased efficiency of circulatory and pulmonary
systems
Systems of the body that control each of the elements of physical function... - correct answer react,
adapt and develop in response to forces and physical stresses placed upon tissues of the body systems
Therapeutic exercise interventions - correct answer -applying carefully graded physical stresses and
forces that are imposed on impaired body systems, specific tissues, or individual structures in a
controlled, progressive, safely executed manner to reduce physical impairment and improve function
-individualized; therapist determines underlying cause of patient impairment, activity limitations or
restrictions
Types of Exercise Interventions - correct answer -aerobic conditioning and reconditioning
-muscle performance exercises: strength, power and endurance training
-stretching techniques (muscle lengthening and joint mobilization/manipulation)
-neuromusuclar control, inhibition and facilitation; posture awareness training
-postural control, body mechanics, stabilization exercises
