Question 1

The Cybex isokinetic device measures muscle performance at:

Accepted Answer

Constant speed of movement (fixed angular velocity)

Question 2

A patient recovering from rotator cuff repair is in Phase 1 (0–6 weeks). Which exercise is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Pendulum (Codman) exercises and passive ROM within protocol limits

Answer

Early post-op rotator cuff rehab uses pendulum exercises and passive ROM to prevent adhesions while protecting the surgical repair.

Question 3

Which of the following best describes 'neuromuscular re-education' as a rehabilitation goal?

Accepted Answer

Restoring normal movement patterns and motor control through sensory and motor retraining

Answer

Neuromuscular re-education restores proper movement patterns, proprioception, and motor control that are disrupted by injury or disuse.

Question 4

In the rehabilitation of a patient with anterior knee pain (patellofemoral syndrome), a key exercise strategy is to:

Accepted Answer

Strengthen hip abductors and external rotators to reduce dynamic valgus

Answer

Strengthening hip abductors and external rotators reduces femoral internal rotation and adduction, decreasing patellofemoral joint stress.
