FRC Applied Methods and Techniques Practice Questions

Question 1

In FRC terminology, how does 'mobility' differ from 'flexibility'?

Accepted Answer

Mobility is range you can actively control; flexibility is passive range

Answer

FRC defines mobility as active, controllable range and flexibility as passive range.

Question 2

What is a hover in FRC methodology?

Accepted Answer

Holding the limb just off the support after a lift-off at end range

Answer

Hovers sustain the lift-off so the end-range position is controlled isometrically.

Question 3

What is the main goal of Passive Range Lift-Offs (PRLOs)?

Accepted Answer

Building active control in the gap between passive and active range

Answer

PRLOs train the client to actively move a limb in range that was previously passive-only.

Question 4

When performing shoulder CARs, which compensation should the coach watch for most closely?

Accepted Answer

Trunk rotation or rib flare that substitutes for joint motion

Answer

Trunk and rib motion can fake shoulder range, so they must stay still for true articular rotation.

Question 5

What intensity range is commonly used during the PAILs/RAILs contraction phase?

Accepted Answer

Progressively ramped, often building toward high effort as tolerated

Answer

Intensity is ramped and progressed to the client's tolerance, often reaching high effort in experienced trainees.
