Postural stabilization muscles tend to be
-
Larger and deeper
-
Smaller and superficial
-
Larger and superficial
-
Smaller and deeper
Correct Answer
A. Smaller and deeperExplanation
The correct answer is smaller and deeper. Postural stabilization muscles are responsible for maintaining proper posture and stability in the body. These muscles need to be smaller and deeper in order to provide support and stability to the spine and joints. Larger muscles are typically involved in generating movement, while smaller muscles are more involved in stabilizing and supporting the body. Deeper muscles are closer to the bones and joints, allowing for better control and stability.Rate this question:

Which of the following best describes a state of exhaustion or a loss of strength or endurance such as that felt after strenuous physical activity?
-
Muscle weakness
-
Muscle fatigue
-
Muscle tetany
-
Muscle sorbet
Correct Answer
A. Muscle fatigueExplanation
Muscle fatigue is the best description for a state of exhaustion or loss of strength or endurance after strenuous physical activity. It refers to the decline in muscle performance due to repeated muscle contractions and the accumulation of metabolic waste products. This can result in a feeling of weakness, reduced muscle power, and decreased ability to perform physical tasks. Muscle weakness, on the other hand, refers to a lack of muscle strength or the inability to generate sufficient force, which may not necessarily be related to exhaustion or strenuous activity. Muscle tetany refers to involuntary muscle contractions, while muscle sorbet is not a recognized term in relation to muscle exhaustion or loss of strength.Rate this question:

What is a reflexive impulse that causes the affected muscle or adjacent muscle to fire spontaneously?
-
Jump sign
-
Referred pain phenomena
-
Reflexive response
-
Local twitch response
Correct Answer
A. Local twitch responseExplanation
A local twitch response refers to a spontaneous contraction or twitching of a muscle or adjacent muscles caused by a reflexive impulse. This reflexive impulse can be triggered by various factors such as irritation, injury, or nerve stimulation. The affected muscle or nearby muscles may contract involuntarily, leading to a localized twitching sensation. This response is often seen in conditions like muscle spasms, muscle strain, or trigger points.Rate this question:

A list of guiding principles by which members of an organization conduct their day-to-day responsibilities within their scope of practice is called
-
Code of ethics
-
Rules and regulations
-
Standards of practice
-
Therapist's rights and responsibilities
Correct Answer
A. Standards of practiceExplanation
Standards of practice refer to a set of guidelines or principles that outline the expected behavior and performance of members within an organization. These standards provide a framework for professionals to carry out their responsibilities and ensure that they adhere to the highest level of quality and ethical conduct in their day-to-day work. Unlike a code of ethics, which focuses on moral principles, standards of practice specifically outline the actions and behaviors that professionals should follow within their scope of practice. Rules and regulations may also govern professional conduct, but they are typically more specific and legally binding. Therapist's rights and responsibilities may be relevant but do not encompass the broader concept of standards of practice.Rate this question:

For the distal attachment of a muscle to move more efficiently, the proximal attachment must
-
Move freely
-
Be fixed
-
Become hypermobile
-
All the above choices are true.
Correct Answer
A. Be fixedExplanation
The distal attachment of a muscle refers to the attachment point that is further away from the body's midline, while the proximal attachment is the attachment point closer to the midline. In order for the distal attachment to move more efficiently, the proximal attachment must be fixed or stabilized. This allows the muscle to generate force and movement more effectively, as the fixed proximal attachment provides a stable base for the muscle to work against. Therefore, the correct answer is that the proximal attachment must be fixed.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT indicated for massage?
-
Apnea
-
Hemophilia
-
Lordosis
-
Jaundice
Correct Answer
A. JaundiceExplanation
Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes due to a buildup of bilirubin in the body. It is caused by liver dysfunction or blockage of the bile ducts. Massage is not indicated for individuals with jaundice because it can potentially worsen the condition. Massage increases blood circulation, which could further overload the liver and exacerbate the symptoms of jaundice. Therefore, individuals with jaundice should avoid massage until their condition improves.Rate this question:

A ductless gland that secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream is which of the following?
-
Exocrine Gland
-
Apocrine Gland
-
Endocrine Gland
-
Epocrine Gland
Correct Answer
A. Endocrine GlandExplanation
An endocrine gland is a ductless gland that secretes hormones directly into the bloodstream. Unlike exocrine glands, which secrete their products through ducts, endocrine glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream where they can travel to target cells and organs. Therefore, an endocrine gland is the correct answer for the given question.Rate this question:

When a client's physical body "remembers" a past traumatic event, these repressed memories may come to the conscious mind through the mechanism of
-
Recidivism
-
State Dependent memory
-
Reversion
-
Dissociation
Correct Answer
A. State Dependent memoryExplanation
State dependent memory refers to the phenomenon where memory retrieval is enhanced when an individual's internal state during retrieval matches their internal state during encoding. In the context of the question, when a client's physical body "remembers" a past traumatic event, it means that their current physical state triggers the retrieval of memories associated with that traumatic event. This is consistent with the concept of state dependent memory, as the client's physical state during the traumatic event is similar to their current physical state, leading to the recall of repressed memories.Rate this question:
