    For which of the following patient populations, is pulmonary function or capacity NOT a limiting factor in aerobic performance? 

    •  Elite athlete 

    •  typical untrained client 

    •  client with emphysema 

    • Client with cystic fibrosis

    Correct Answer
    A.  typical untrained client 
    Explanation
    Pulmonary function or capacity refers to the ability of the lungs to take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. In an elite athlete, their well-trained lungs are able to efficiently perform these functions, making it not a limiting factor in their aerobic performance. However, for a typical untrained client, their lung capacity may not be optimized, and therefore it can be a limiting factor in their aerobic performance. Therefore, the correct answer is "typical untrained client".

    Who can potentially benefit from pursed lip breathing? 

    •  patients with asthma 

    •  patients with COPD 

    •  patients with emphysema 

    •  all of these patients

    Correct Answer
    A.  all of these patients
    Explanation
    Pursed lip breathing is a breathing technique that involves inhaling through the nose and exhaling slowly through pursed lips. This technique can be beneficial for patients with asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and emphysema. Patients with these conditions often experience difficulty breathing and pursed lip breathing can help to improve lung function, increase oxygen intake, and reduce shortness of breath. Therefore, all of these patients can potentially benefit from pursed lip breathing.

    During lung auscultation, wheezes are heard in:

    • Cystic fibrosis

    • Pulmonary fibrosis

    • Musculoskeletal deformities

    • Pneumothorax

    Correct Answer
    A. Cystic fibrosis
    Explanation
    Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and causes the production of thick, sticky mucus. This mucus can block the airways and lead to wheezing sounds during lung auscultation. Wheezes are typically caused by narrowed airways due to inflammation or obstruction, which is a common symptom in individuals with cystic fibrosis. Therefore, wheezes are heard in cystic fibrosis during lung auscultation.

    What is an appropriate submaximal exercise test for baseline aerobic capacity?

    • 6 minute walk test

    • 2 minute walk test

    • Dynamic Gait Index

    • Borg RPE training range and teach Pt. to self pace 

    • Timed sit to stand

    Correct Answer
    A. 6 minute walk test
    Explanation
    The 6 minute walk test is an appropriate submaximal exercise test for baseline aerobic capacity. This test measures the distance an individual can walk in 6 minutes, which is a good indicator of their aerobic endurance. It is a simple and easy test to administer, making it suitable for a wide range of individuals. By performing this test, healthcare professionals can assess a person's aerobic capacity and determine their baseline fitness level.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Why would a 2 minute step test be better tolerated by a geriatric client than a 6 minute test? (select all that apply)

    • 2 minute tests are less metabolically taxing

    • Safer for patients with balance and gait dysfunction

    • 6 minute tests are a functionally appropriate assessment of baseline aerobic capacity

    • These steady state tests assess different aspects of objective exercise intolerance

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. 2 minute tests are less metabolically taxing
    A. Safer for patients with balance and gait dysfunction
    Explanation
    A 2 minute step test would be better tolerated by a geriatric client than a 6 minute test because it is less metabolically taxing. This means that the client would not have to exert as much energy during the shorter test, making it easier for them to complete. Additionally, the 2 minute test would be safer for patients with balance and gait dysfunction as it requires less time on their feet and reduces the risk of falls or other accidents.

    The formula for max HR is:

    • 220 - age

    • HR / 90% VO2 max

    • (VO2 max * 1000)/weight

    • (15 * max HR)/Resting HR

    Correct Answer
    A. 220 - age
    Explanation
    The given formula for max HR is 220 minus the person's age. This formula is commonly used to estimate the maximum heart rate a person can achieve during exercise. It is based on the observation that as a person ages, their maximum heart rate tends to decrease. By subtracting the age from 220, we can estimate the maximum heart rate for an individual.

    ATP can be made in muscles from stored glucose. In muscles, glucose is stored in the form of

    • Energy

    • Creatine

    • Pyruvate

    • Glycogen

    Correct Answer
    A. Glycogen
    Explanation
    Glycogen is the correct answer because it is a complex carbohydrate that serves as the primary storage form of glucose in the body. When ATP is needed for energy, glycogen is broken down through a process called glycogenolysis to release glucose molecules. These glucose molecules are then used to produce ATP, providing energy for muscle contractions. Therefore, glycogen acts as a readily available source of glucose in muscles, allowing ATP to be made efficiently when needed.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following is the correct sequence for the production of ATP for muscle contraction:

    • Anaerobic respiration, CP, aerobic respiration

    • Aerobic respiration, CP, anaerobic respiration

    • CP, anaerobic respiration, aerobic respiration

    Correct Answer
    A. CP, anaerobic respiration, aerobic respiration
    Explanation
    The correct sequence for the production of ATP for muscle contraction is CP (creatine phosphate), which provides immediate energy for short bursts of activity, followed by anaerobic respiration, which produces ATP in the absence of oxygen but is less efficient, and finally aerobic respiration, which is the most efficient way to produce ATP and requires oxygen.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    ATP is required for muscles to contract. Which of the following statements is incorrect?

    • ATP is used to get cross bridges to bind to actin

    • ATP is used to get cross bridges to disconnect from actin

    • ATP is used to get the troponin-tropomyosin complex to move in such a manner to expose the binding site.

    Correct Answer
    A. ATP is used to get the troponin-tropomyosin complex to move in such a manner to expose the binding site.
    Explanation
    ATP is not used to get the troponin-tropomyosin complex to move in such a manner to expose the binding site. Instead, ATP is used to get the cross bridges to disconnect from actin, allowing the troponin-tropomyosin complex to move and expose the binding site.

    When is lactic acid NOT produced in the series of reactions?

    • Glycolysis

    • Aerobic respiration

    • Anaerobic respiration

    Correct Answer
    A. Glycolysis
    Explanation
    Lactic acid is not produced in the series of reactions during glycolysis. Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate molecules. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate is converted into lactic acid through a process called anaerobic respiration. However, in glycolysis, lactic acid is not produced as pyruvate is further metabolized in the presence of oxygen during aerobic respiration.

    Functional Reserve is defined as:

    • Volume of one breath, or the amount of air moved into and out of the lungs during quiet breathing

    • Amount of air moved into the lungs during a forced inspiration (beyond tidal inspiration)

    • Volume remaining after a normal, passive, exhalation. 

    • Amount of air moved out of lungs during forced expiration (beyond tidal expiration)

    • The volume of air in the lungs upon the maximum effort of inspiration. 

    Correct Answer
    A. Volume remaining after a normal, passive, exhalation. 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "volume remaining after a normal, passive, exhalation." This refers to the amount of air that is left in the lungs after a normal breath out, without any extra effort or force. It represents the amount of air that can still be exhaled after a regular breath.

    Unsupported UE resistance training for patients with COPD is important in that it will do what of the following? Select all that apply 

    • Strengthen accessory respiratory muscles

    • Increase UE strength for improve ADLs

    • Increase occurrence of dyspnea

    • None of the above would occur as the patient should engage in supported UE resistance exercise, not unsupported. 

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Strengthen accessory respiratory muscles
    A. Increase UE strength for improve ADLs
    Explanation
    Unsupported UE resistance training for patients with COPD is important because it can strengthen accessory respiratory muscles. These muscles play a crucial role in assisting the primary respiratory muscles during breathing, especially in individuals with compromised lung function. Additionally, this type of training can increase upper extremity (UE) strength, which can lead to improved performance in activities of daily living (ADLs). It is important to note that engaging in unsupported UE resistance exercise may not necessarily increase the occurrence of dyspnea, as the question suggests, but rather provide beneficial outcomes for patients with COPD.

    Your 65 year old, female patient states her posture has become more hunched and that she feels she is shorter over the past couple of years. From the following choices, what should your patient avoid? 

    • Mini squats at the counter

    • Biphosphonates 

    • Abdominal crunches in supine

    • Whole body vibration exercises 

    Correct Answer
    A. Abdominal crunches in supine
    Explanation
    Abdominal crunches in supine should be avoided because they involve flexing the spine forward, which can contribute to further hunching of the posture. Since the patient already feels shorter and has a hunched posture, performing abdominal crunches in supine position can exacerbate these issues. Instead, the patient should focus on exercises that promote good posture and strengthen the back muscles, such as mini squats at the counter or whole body vibration exercises. Biphosphonates, on the other hand, are a medication used to treat osteoporosis and can help prevent further height loss.

    • Hemiparesis 

    • Fluent aphasia

    • Coordination dysfunction 

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    A stroke can lead to various potential consequences, including behavioral changes, hemiparesis (weakness or paralysis on one side of the body), fluent aphasia (difficulty in speaking or understanding language), and coordination dysfunction. These consequences occur due to damage to the brain caused by the stroke.

    Eileen is a 18 y.o. patient who experienced a ischemic stroke 1 year ago and has been transferred to be under your care while her previous physical therapist is on vacation. While getting to know you, she probes your expertise by asking how does practicing with her affected arm help her improve that same arm if it's injured. Which of the following is an applied concept that can help guide her understanding of the brain's response to stroke treatment? Choose the single best answer.

    • Specificity principle

    • Motor retraining

    • Neuroplasticity

    • The unaffected arm inhibits the affected arm from performing

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    All of the above options can help guide Eileen's understanding of the brain's response to stroke treatment. The specificity principle suggests that practicing with the affected arm can lead to specific improvements in that arm. Motor retraining involves practicing specific movements and tasks to improve motor function. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize and form new connections, which can help with recovery after a stroke. The statement that the unaffected arm inhibits the affected arm from performing is also true, as the unaffected arm can sometimes compensate for the loss of function in the affected arm.

    Two athletes competing to win a one mile race separate. One stays at sea level, and one goes to the top of Mt. Everest. After 6 months of training at their respective locations, the Mt. Everest athlete comes back to sea level to compete. What are some possible scenarios? (select all that apply)

    • The Mt. Everest athlete wins because everybody knows that when you train at high altitudes you always win because your muscles have been trained with low oxygen and now there is a ton of oxygen at sea level. 

    • The Mt. Everest athlete loses because his blood is too viscous from increased hemoglobin and hematocrit after having lived in elevation for that long and the blood cannot circulate fast enough to provide energy to his muscles. 

    • The Mt. Everest athlete loses because the air was so thin, lacking density and resistance, at Mt. Everest that his respiratory muscles are now weak.

    • The Mt. Everest athlete wins because the lack of Oxygen at high altitudes leads to increased concentric hypertrophy of muscles

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The Mt. Everest athlete loses because his blood is too viscous from increased hemoglobin and hematocrit after having lived in elevation for that long and the blood cannot circulate fast enough to provide energy to his muscles. 
    A. The Mt. Everest athlete loses because the air was so thin, lacking density and resistance, at Mt. Everest that his respiratory muscles are now weak.
    Explanation
    The Mt. Everest athlete loses because his blood is too viscous from increased hemoglobin and hematocrit after having lived in elevation for that long and the blood cannot circulate fast enough to provide energy to his muscles. Additionally, the Mt. Everest athlete loses because the air was so thin, lacking density and resistance, at Mt. Everest that his respiratory muscles are now weak. Training at high altitudes can lead to physiological adaptations such as increased red blood cell production, but it can also have negative effects on the body's ability to perform at lower altitudes due to changes in blood viscosity and respiratory muscle weakness.

    Which of the following statements best represents the mechanism of nitroglycerine in reducing the onset of angina? Select the single best answer... 

    • Nitroglycerine is converted to NO to work as a vasodilator 

    • Nitroglycerine is converted to NO to work as a vasoconstrictor 

    • Nitroglycerine works to increase blood pressure in order to improve blood flow to cardiac tissues. 

    • Nitroglycerine is not used to manage angina. 

    Correct Answer
    A. Nitroglycerine is converted to NO to work as a vasodilator 
    Explanation
    Nitroglycerine is converted to NO to work as a vasodilator. This means that nitroglycerine undergoes a conversion process in the body to produce nitric oxide (NO), which acts as a vasodilator. Vasodilators help relax and widen the blood vessels, allowing for increased blood flow to the heart and reducing the onset of angina symptoms.

    Jim, a 75-year-old man has been resistance training 4x/week since retiring 15 years ago. Three months ago, Jim’s wife had a stroke and he became her sole caretaker while trying to hire a nurse for at-home care. Taking care of his wife has left him exhausted and he has not been to the gym during the three-month span. They recently hired a nurse and Jim is now able to return to exercise. What principle explains why Jim may feel weak picking up the same weights he was using before his wife’s stroke? Select the SINGLE best answer

    • Overload principle

    • Salience principle

    • Reversibility principle 

    • Specificity principle 

    • Transference principle

    Correct Answer
    A. Reversibility principle 
    Explanation
    The Reversibility principle explains why Jim may feel weak picking up the same weights he was using before his wife's stroke. This principle states that the gains in strength and fitness achieved through exercise will be lost if the exercise is stopped or reduced. Since Jim had to stop going to the gym for three months to take care of his wife, his muscles may have weakened and lost some of the strength he had gained through resistance training. As a result, he may feel weaker when attempting to lift the same weights as before.

    • Metered dose inhaler 5 minutes before exercise

    • Skip the warm up as you wouldn’t want to induce an attack prior to getting started with his strength based exercises. 

    • Consider swimming as an option for training in the clinic. 

    • Metered dose inhaler 20-30 minutes prior to exercise

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Consider swimming as an option for training in the clinic. 
    A. Metered dose inhaler 20-30 minutes prior to exercise
    Explanation
    Swimming is a recommended option for training in patients with exercise-induced asthma (EIA) as it helps to reduce the chance of EIA occurrence. It is a form of exercise that involves humidified air, which can be less irritating to the airways compared to other forms of exercise. Using a metered dose inhaler 20-30 minutes prior to exercise is also a recommended technique to help prevent EIA. This allows the medication to open up the airways and reduce the likelihood of an asthma attack during exercise. Skipping warm-up exercises is not recommended as it can increase the risk of EIA occurrence.

    When exercising a patient, which of the following is NOT a sign that you should immediately cease the exercise session?

    •  O2 saturation levels drop below 85%

    •  Systolic BP decreases more than 10 mmHg after the onset of activity

    •  A 61-year-old patient reaches a heart rate of 148 beats per minute

    •  You should immediately make the patient stop exercising in all of these situations

    • A patient with exercise induced asthma has a 15-20% decrease in FEV1/FVC estimated with a peak flow meter

    Correct Answer
    A.  A 61-year-old patient reaches a heart rate of 148 beats per minute
    Explanation
    A heart rate of 148 beats per minute in a 61-year-old patient is not a sign that you should immediately cease the exercise session. While it is important to monitor heart rate during exercise, a heart rate of 148 beats per minute is within a normal range for a 61-year-old individual. Therefore, it does not indicate any immediate danger or need to stop the exercise session.

    What does EPOC stand for?

    • Exercise pre-oxygen consumption

    • Excess pre-oxygen consumption

    • Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption

    • Exercise post-excess oxygen consumption

    Correct Answer
    A. Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
    Explanation
    EPOC stands for Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. This term refers to the increased rate of oxygen intake that occurs after a strenuous workout or exercise session. During intense physical activity, the body consumes more oxygen to meet the increased energy demands. After the exercise is completed, the body continues to consume oxygen at an elevated rate to restore energy levels, repair tissues, and remove metabolic waste products. This increased oxygen consumption post-exercise helps to replenish energy stores and aids in recovery.

What are some treatment techniques worth considering? (select all that apply)

    • Consider activities involving upper extremity WB in order to increase bone strength

    • Consider aquatic therapy as the hydrostatic pressure may increase her BP as well as her strength

    • ​​​​​​​ Consider FES to facilitate decreased spasticity in R hand/UE

    •  Consider cardiovascular training with emphasis on decreasing BP

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Consider activities involving upper extremity WB in order to increase bone strength
    A. ​​​​​​​ Consider FES to facilitate decreased spasticity in R hand/UE
    A.  Consider cardiovascular training with emphasis on decreasing BP
    Explanation
    The patient has a flexion contracture in her right hand/upper extremity, which can be addressed with Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to decrease spasticity. Additionally, activities involving upper extremity weight-bearing can help increase bone strength and improve overall function. Cardiovascular training with an emphasis on decreasing blood pressure is also important for the patient's overall health and well-being. Aquatic therapy may not be the best option in this case, as the hydrostatic pressure may increase her blood pressure and put her at risk.

    Exercise for people with CHF can be as beneficial if not more beneficial than the best drug therapies. What is the main goal of exercise programs designed for patients with CHF? (select one answer)

    •  Increase anaerobic metabolism

    • Decrease aerobic metabolism

    •  Decrease anaerobic metabolism

    • Exercise at an intensity of 80% VO2 max for 10 minutes with 2 minute rest breaks

    Correct Answer
    A.  Decrease anaerobic metabolism
    Explanation
    The main goal of exercise programs designed for patients with CHF is to decrease anaerobic metabolism. This is because CHF is characterized by a reduced ability of the heart to pump blood effectively, leading to inadequate oxygen supply to the muscles. By decreasing anaerobic metabolism, the exercise programs aim to improve the efficiency of oxygen utilization in the muscles, thereby reducing the strain on the heart and improving overall cardiovascular function.

    For which condition(s) would a power lifting prescription be contraindicated? (select one answer)

    • CHF

    • Pulmonary dysfunction under discretion of the physician

    • 77 yo with balance deficits

    • 82 yo with strength deficits 

    Correct Answer
    A. CHF
    Explanation
    A power lifting prescription would be contraindicated for individuals with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). Power lifting involves heavy lifting and intense exertion, which can put a significant strain on the cardiovascular system. CHF is a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, and the added stress from power lifting could worsen the condition and potentially lead to complications. Therefore, it is not recommended for individuals with CHF to engage in power lifting activities.

    • Recommend increased supplemental oxygen at all times in order to keep O2 sats at 100%.

    • Take small walks within moderate range on RPE scale instructing patient to stay between 2 and 3 and if he starts feeling winded, to stop and catch his breath

    • Instruct patient on pursed lip breathing

    • Recommend patient get oximeter for home use and use during your treatment session so patient can understand how to use it

    Correct Answer
    A. Recommend increased supplemental oxygen at all times in order to keep O2 sats at 100%.
    Explanation
    It is not recommended to recommend increased supplemental oxygen at all times in order to keep O2 sats at 100% for a patient with COPD. This can lead to oxygen toxicity and can suppress the patient's respiratory drive. It is important to maintain O2 sats within a safe range, but not necessarily at 100%.

    Which of the following statements are true about the typical changes seen in muscle as people age? (select all that apply)

    • There is an overall decrease in strength and power

    • There is a greater proportion of Type IIB muscle fibers

    • There are fewer muscle fibers to a motor neuron

    • Endurance increases

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. There is an overall decrease in strength and power
    A. Endurance increases
    Explanation
    As people age, there is a natural decline in muscle strength and power. This is due to various factors such as a decrease in muscle mass and a decline in the efficiency of muscle contraction. On the other hand, endurance tends to increase with age. This is because the body adapts to the aging process by relying more on slow-twitch muscle fibers, which are better suited for endurance activities. Therefore, the statement "There is an overall decrease in strength and power" and "Endurance increases" are both true about the typical changes seen in muscle as people age.

    • There is a sympathetic response below the level of injury, which is causing vasodilation and decreased blood pressure, which descending control from the brain cannot regulate.   Check for noxious stimuli below level of injury, like bladder/bowel fullness.

    • There is a sympathetic response to positional change above the level of injury, which is causing vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure.  Check for spasticity in UE.

    • There is a sympathetic response below the level of injury causing vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure, which descending control from the brain cannot regulate.  Check for noxious stimuli below level of injury, like bladder/bowel fullness.

    • There is a parasympathetic response below the level of injury, which is causing vasodilation and decreased blood pressure which descending control from the brain cannot regulate.  Check for spasticity in LE.

    Correct Answer
    A. There is a sympathetic response below the level of injury causing vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure, which descending control from the brain cannot regulate.  Check for noxious stimuli below level of injury, like bladder/bowel fullness.
    Explanation
    The correct answer explains that the patient is experiencing autonomic dysreflexia, which is characterized by a sympathetic response below the level of injury causing vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure. This response is not regulated by descending control from the brain. To address autonomic dysreflexia, the healthcare provider should check for noxious stimuli below the level of injury, such as bladder or bowel fullness.

    You have a patient who is 75 years old and a fall risk, who does not believe strength training will help their condition, telling you, “I’m just getting old.”  Which of the following is the most scientifically accurate argument that strength training will help them (single best answer):

    • Showing the patient pictures of elderly athletes and telling them “You can do it too!”

    • Yes, as we age we lose motor neurons and motor units, but some of these effects are reversible.  If you strength train with heavy resistance at a slow speed, you can grow back the powerful muscles you had in your twenties.

    • Yes, as we age we lose motor neurons and motor units, but some of these effects are reversible.  The resistance provided from water during swimming is enough to improve muscle strength and balance on land.

    • Yes, as we age we lose motor neurons and motor units, but some of these effects are reversible.  Resistance training "as fast as you can" with moderate loads will increase muscle fiber size and improve balance.

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes, as we age we lose motor neurons and motor units, but some of these effects are reversible.  Resistance training "as fast as you can" with moderate loads will increase muscle fiber size and improve balance.
    Explanation
    As we age, we naturally lose motor neurons and motor units, but it is possible to reverse some of these effects through strength training. Resistance training, specifically using moderate loads and performing the exercises as fast as possible, can increase muscle fiber size and improve balance. By engaging in strength training, the patient can regain some of the powerful muscles they had in their twenties, contrary to the belief that they are simply getting old.

    Comparing a successful professional 100m dash sprinter with a successful professional marathon runner, we would expect to see:

    •  Higher glycogen stores and more capillaries in the sprinter, higher oxidative enzymes and mitochondria in the marathon runner. 

    •  Higher glycogen stores in the sprinter; more capillaries, oxidative enzymes, and mitochondria in the marathon runner. 

    • More capillaries and mitochondria in the sprinter, higher glycogen stores and oxidative enzymes in the marathon runner. 

    •  More capillaries, oxidative enzymes and mitochondria in the sprinter; higher glycogen stores in the marathon runner.  

    Correct Answer
    A.  Higher glycogen stores in the sprinter; more capillaries, oxidative enzymes, and mitochondria in the marathon runner. 
    Explanation
    Sprinting is an anaerobic activity that relies on stored glycogen for energy, so a successful professional sprinter would have higher glycogen stores. On the other hand, marathon running is an aerobic activity that requires endurance, so a successful professional marathon runner would have more capillaries to deliver oxygen to the muscles, as well as higher levels of oxidative enzymes and mitochondria to produce energy aerobically.

    • Functional electrical stimulation (FES)

    • Decrease muscle tone

    • Avoid stretching

    • Practice motor retraining

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Functional electrical stimulation (FES)
    A. Decrease muscle tone
    A. Practice motor retraining
    Explanation
    Given that Skylar has experienced a spinal cord injury at the level of T4, there are several treatment options that would be appropriate for the patient. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) can be used to activate the muscles and improve function. Decreasing muscle tone can help manage spasticity and improve mobility. Practice motor retraining can help Skylar regain motor skills and improve overall function. Avoiding stretching may not be necessary or appropriate for this specific patient.

    Patients with the following condition should be given exercise prescriptions that primarily involve only aerobic exercises of the lower extremities. 

    • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease

    • Coronary artery disease

    • Duchenne muscular dystrophy

    • Osteoporosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Coronary artery disease
    Explanation
    Patients with coronary artery disease should be given exercise prescriptions that primarily involve only aerobic exercises of the lower extremities. This is because aerobic exercises help improve cardiovascular health, increase heart and lung function, and lower the risk of heart-related complications. By focusing on lower extremity exercises, such as walking, jogging, or cycling, the workload on the heart is increased, promoting better blood flow to the heart and reducing the risk of heart attacks. Additionally, lower extremity exercises help improve leg strength and endurance, which can further enhance overall cardiovascular fitness.

    An athlete comes into the PT clinic 10 weeks post-op from his ACL reconstruction. He has been progressing as expected since his surgery at another clinic, and is transitioning to your clinic after his family moved. Which of the following would you instruct as his PT regarding resistance training? (Select the single best answer)

    • Use free weights as they require greater accessory muscle activity to stabilize the load and therefore are more functional

    • Use machines because they load other muscles/bones too

    • Use machines because they will isolate one single muscle group

    • Use free weights because they allow for increased load on cartilage

    Correct Answer
    A. Use free weights as they require greater accessory muscle activity to stabilize the load and therefore are more functional
    Explanation
    Free weights require greater accessory muscle activity to stabilize the load, which makes them more functional. This is important for the athlete who is recovering from ACL reconstruction as it helps to improve overall strength and stability in the affected leg. Using machines may load other muscles and bones, but they do not provide the same level of functional training as free weights. Additionally, using free weights allows for increased load on cartilage, which can help to improve joint stability and strength.

     A 56 y/o patient comes into the clinic who you have never seen before. She is recovering from a left femur fracture after falling in her backyard (no other health conditions). You are attempting to prescribe the correct amount of load for her resistance training exercises. Which of the following should you use? (Select the single best answer)

    • 1-RM because it is the most accurate measure of strength

    • 7-10RM because of her age and diagnosis

    • 5RM since it is between the 1 rep maximum and 10 rep maximum and she is middle-aged and moderately healthy

    • She should perform as many reps as she can every exercise session to overload the muscle

    Correct Answer
    A. 7-10RM because of her age and diagnosis
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 7-10RM because of her age and diagnosis. This recommendation takes into consideration the patient's age and the fact that she is recovering from a femur fracture. Using a 7-10RM (repetition maximum) allows for a moderate intensity level that is appropriate for her condition. It balances the need for strength training without putting excessive strain on the healing fracture. This approach ensures a safe and effective resistance training program for the patient.

    What are the most effective PT interventions for knee osteoarthritis? (Choose all that apply)

    • Aerobic exercise

    • Strengthening

    • Aquatic exercise

    • Flexibility

    • Manual therapy

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Aerobic exercise
    A. Strengthening
    A. Aquatic exercise
    Explanation
    The most effective PT interventions for knee osteoarthritis include aerobic exercise, strengthening, and aquatic exercise. Aerobic exercise helps improve cardiovascular fitness and reduces pain and stiffness in the knee joint. Strengthening exercises focus on building muscle strength around the knee, which helps support and stabilize the joint. Aquatic exercise, done in water, reduces the impact on the knee joint while providing resistance for muscle strengthening. These interventions have been found to be effective in managing symptoms and improving function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.

    You are working in the inpatient cardiac rehab unit and are about to see a patient who had an MI 3 days ago and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Which of the following considerations should you follow? (Choose all that apply)

    • Use analgesics before exercise to reduce incisional pain leading to shallow breathing

    • Avoid lifting over >20 lbs for 6-8 weeks

    • Do not use the arms to get in/out of the bed, chair, or front wheel walker

    • Relaxation during low intensity exercise (1-2 METS)

    • Light aerobic exercise on the treadmill immediately to prevent the formation of clots

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Use analgesics before exercise to reduce incisional pain leading to shallow breathing
    A. Do not use the arms to get in/out of the bed, chair, or front wheel walker
    A. Relaxation during low intensity exercise (1-2 METS)
    Explanation
    After a myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), the patient may experience incisional pain, which can lead to shallow breathing. Using analgesics before exercise can help reduce this pain, allowing the patient to breathe more deeply. Additionally, the patient should avoid using their arms to get in/out of bed, chair, or front wheel walker to prevent strain on the incision site. Relaxation during low-intensity exercise is important to prevent overexertion and allow the patient to gradually build up their exercise tolerance. Light aerobic exercise on the treadmill immediately after surgery is not recommended as it can increase the risk of clot formation.

    During lung auscultation, crackles are heard in:

    • Cystic fibrosis

    • Pulmonary fibrosis

    • Musculoskeletal deformities

    • Pneumothorax

    Correct Answer
    A. Pulmonary fibrosis
    Explanation
    Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition characterized by the formation of scar tissue in the lungs, which can lead to breathing difficulties. Crackles are abnormal lung sounds that can be heard during auscultation and are often associated with conditions involving the lungs, such as pulmonary fibrosis. The crackles in pulmonary fibrosis are caused by the presence of stiff and damaged lung tissue, which disrupts the flow of air and creates the characteristic crackling sound.

    During lung auscultation, diminished or absent breath sounds are heard in:

    • Cystic fibrosis

    • Pulmonary fibrosis

    • Musculoskeletal deformities

    • Pneumothorax

    Correct Answer
    A. Musculoskeletal deformities
    Explanation
    Musculoskeletal deformities can cause diminished or absent breath sounds during lung auscultation. This is because these deformities can restrict the movement of the chest wall and limit the expansion of the lungs. As a result, there may be a decrease in the intensity of breath sounds or they may not be audible at all. This can make it difficult for air to flow in and out of the lungs properly, leading to diminished or absent breath sounds.

    Which pulse location provides the most accurate reading?

    • Apical Pulse

    • Brachial Pulse

    • L Radial Pulse

    • Carotid artery

    Correct Answer
    A. Apical Pulse
    Explanation
    The apical pulse provides the most accurate reading because it is taken directly over the apex of the heart, which allows for a more precise measurement of the heart's rhythm and rate. This location eliminates any potential for errors caused by peripheral pulses, such as the radial pulse, which may be affected by factors like peripheral vascular disease or irregularities in the arterial wall. Similarly, the brachial pulse may not accurately reflect the heart's activity. The carotid artery is also close to the heart, but it is not as reliable as the apical pulse due to the potential for variability in blood flow to the brain.

    The Bruce Protocol is an example of what kind of exercise test?

    • Submaximal

    • Maximal

    • Symptom Limited

    • Objectivitely-limited

    • Incremental

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Objectivitely-limited
    A. Incremental
    Explanation
    The Bruce Protocol is an example of an incremental exercise test that is also objectivity-limited. Incremental exercise tests involve gradually increasing the intensity of the exercise over time, typically by increasing the speed and incline on a treadmill. Objectivity-limited means that the test is designed to reach a predetermined endpoint, such as a certain heart rate or level of exertion, rather than being limited by the participant's symptoms or fatigue.

    When considering exercise for patients with obesity, exercise intensity to reach the ‘fat burning zone’ should be:

    • Generally between 40-60% max HR and 55-60% VO2 max

    • Generally between 60-80% max HR and 55-60% VO2 max

    • Generally between 40-60% max HR and 65-70% VO2 max

    • Generally between 60-80% max HR and 65-70% VO2 max

    Correct Answer
    A. Generally between 60-80% max HR and 55-60% VO2 max
    Explanation
    The correct answer is generally between 60-80% max HR and 55-60% VO2 max. This is because exercising at this intensity range allows the body to burn a higher percentage of calories from fat. While exercising at a lower intensity may primarily burn fat, it does not burn as many overall calories. On the other hand, exercising at a higher intensity burns more calories overall, but a smaller percentage of those calories come from fat. Therefore, the recommended intensity range strikes a balance between burning a higher percentage of fat calories and burning a sufficient number of total calories.
