Question 1

Which proprioceptive training progression is most appropriate for a patient in the late-stage rehabilitation of a Grade II lateral ankle sprain?

Accepted Answer

Single-leg stance on unstable surface with perturbation

Answer

Late-stage ankle sprain rehab should incorporate dynamic perturbation training on unstable surfaces to challenge neuromuscular control under realistic conditions.

Question 2

The star excursion balance test (SEBT) is primarily used to assess which functional capacity?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic postural control and neuromuscular stability

Answer

The SEBT measures dynamic postural control by requiring the patient to reach in multiple directions while maintaining single-leg stance.

Question 3

A patient recovering from a patellar tendinopathy presents with pain during eccentric loading. Which exercise should be PRIORITIZED?

Accepted Answer

Decline board single-leg squat

Answer

Decline board single-leg squats optimize eccentric load on the patellar tendon and are the gold standard exercise for patellar tendinopathy rehab.

Question 4

Which rehabilitation principle best describes the concept of 'training specificity' for an athlete returning to sport after shoulder labral repair?

Accepted Answer

Exercises should replicate the forces and movement patterns of the sport

Answer

Training specificity dictates that rehabilitation exercises should mimic sport-specific movement patterns and forces to optimize functional return to play.

Question 5

During closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises for the lower extremity, ground reaction forces create which type of muscle action at the knee?

Accepted Answer

Co-contraction of quadriceps and hamstrings

Answer

CKC exercises produce co-contraction of quadriceps and hamstrings due to compressive joint loading, enhancing joint stability compared to open kinetic chain exercises.
