A and B
None of the above are true
There is a risk of excessive scarring
There is scarring but ROM is generally at full range
There is rarely any weakness
It is rarely painful
Is also known as radicular pain
Directly involves the nerve root
Is felt along myotomes, dermatomes, and sclerotomes

Lateral movement away from the midline
Bony end feel occurs during elbow extension
Soft tissue approximation occurs during knee flexion
A and B
None are true of normal end feels
It is tissue such as joint capsules and ligaments which can have tension placed on them
It is tissue such as muscles or tendons that can have tension placed on them by stretching or contraction
It is tissue such as muscles or tendons that can have tension placed on them by contraction
It is tissue that can be sprained

PR and PF are the two types of PROM
During PROM the therapist palpates and supports the limb throughout the range
An example of AR is ROM done in a pool

Solid edema results from localized extracellular fluid in a limb
It can only be measured if it is pitting
Visual assessment is the only true measure of edema volume
None of the above are true
Identification of soft tissue dysfunction related to the client's clinical condition
Identification of other primary and secondary impairments that therapists can treat with massage techniques
Identification of limitations in the client's level of activity
All of the above
Reports of any long-standing musculoskeletal condition
A history of having a relief of symtoms through massage or stretching
A history of multiple successful treatments
A history of ambiguous symptoms
Objects of palpation are not necessarily physical objects; instead, they may be a characteristic, such as temperature, or a phenomenon, such as resistance to movement
Palpation is the sole means of accurately assessing soft tissue dysfunction
Therapists must constantly ask themselves questions as they palpate
Both of the therapist's hands may do the same thing or different things during palpation
Force
Rate
Tension
Pressure
Fluid status
Texture and consistency
Deep fascia
Periosteum
Can be located anywhere between the normal physiological barriers
Is the resistance that therapists feel at the end of the passive range of motion when they are taking the "slack" out of or "engaging" the tissue
The pont beyond which movement results in tissue damage
Is the final resistance to normal range of motion that the bone, ligament, or soft tissue can provide
If therapists sustain the pressure on te tissue barrier, a "release" may occur after a latency period
Different types of tissue will respond in the same manner to sustained pressure
Therapists can observe the barrier-release phenomenon during their application of horizontal drag, vertical compression, or shear forces.
The barrier-release phenomenon is most useful when palpating connective tissue
Therapists can identify bone, joint space (joint line), ligament, tendon (including junctions to both periosteum and to muscle), aponeurosis, fascia (setae, sheathes, retinacula), nerves, vessels, and vescera using palpation.
Therapists must select a consistent pressure that they will use for palpating the client's body structures
Therapists must be able to discriminate between tissue types and to distinguish a structure from its surrounding structures with accuracy
Therapists need to use compressive contact when they palpate anatomical structures
Therapists can quantify pain in response to palpation.
Various types of pain responses differ in their significance and reliability.
Tenderness to deep palpation is a reliable finding
Palpation itself can sometimes produce negative or positive changes in the tissues being palpated.
The ability to find and critically evaluate research evidence
The ability of a test to find a significant difference
The acquisition of knowledge through logic or reason
The ability to conduct research
Descriptive survey

Evidence
Data
Therapists need evidence in order to provide the best possible care to their clients.
Evidence fosters public acceptance of massage and other complementary health care techniques.
Evidence enables therapists to stay current, to be lifelong learners, and to be better consumers of health care resources themselves.
All of the above
Best research evidence with clinical expertise and client values"
Best practices, good evidence, and the therpist's values"
Best research evidence with clinical ethics and client values

Information on the internet is a primary source
The researcher's documentation of his or her work is a primary source
Primary sources do not always provide a more accurate representation of the evidence than secondary sources
Literature reviews and meta-analyses are primary sources.
Nature of reality
Relationship between clinician and the subject
Nature of truth
Relationship between fact, values, and research
The Evidence House consists of only qualitative research methods, and the Evidence Hierarchy consists of only quantitative research methods.
The evidence Hierarchy was developed in response to the Evidence House.
The Evidence Hierarchy is a good approach to gathering evidence for massage, whereas the Evidence House is not.
The Evidence Hierarchy is hierarchial, and the Evidence House is not.
