FRC FRC Neurological Adaptations and Motor Control

Question 1

In FRC, what is the primary neurological goal of Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs)?

Accepted Answer

To maintain and map joint range of motion in the nervous system

Answer

To increase muscle hypertrophy

Answer

To reduce joint inflammation

Answer

To improve cardiovascular endurance

Question 2

What does the term 'articular neurology' refer to in the context of FRC?

Accepted Answer

The study of how the nervous system perceives and controls joint position and movement

Answer

The surgical repair of joint nerves

Answer

A pharmacological approach to joint pain

Answer

The measurement of nerve conduction velocity

Question 3

Which concept best describes the nervous system's learned ability to perceive joint position without visual input?

Accepted Answer

Proprioception

Answer

Kinesthesia

Answer

Nociception

Answer

Interoception

Question 4

In FRC, why is passive range of motion considered less neurologically valuable than active range of motion?

Accepted Answer

Passive ROM does not require nervous system engagement or motor control

Answer

Passive ROM damages cartilage more readily

Answer

Passive ROM only works on ligaments

Answer

Passive ROM increases cortisol levels

Question 5

What is 'motor control' as it applies to FRC joint training?

Accepted Answer

The nervous system's capacity to produce precise, coordinated joint movements

Answer

The ability to lift maximum loads at a joint

Answer

The use of electrical stimulation to contract muscles

Answer

A type of manual therapy technique

Question 6

According to FRC principles, what happens to ranges of motion that are not regularly accessed by the nervous system?

Accepted Answer

The nervous system progressively loses control and awareness of those ranges

Answer

They become stronger over time

Answer

They develop increased connective tissue density

Answer

They remain unchanged indefinitely
