When massaging the thigh in the supine position, which muscle is involved?
- A.
Hamstring
- B.
Quadriceps
- C.
Gluteal
- D.
Gastrocnemius
Correct Answer
B. QuadricepsExplanation
When massaging the thigh in the supine position, the muscle that is primarily involved is the quadriceps. The quadriceps muscle group is located at the front of the thigh and consists of four muscles: the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius. These muscles work together to extend the knee and flex the hip. Massaging the thigh in this position would target these muscles, helping to relax and release tension in the quadriceps.Rate this question:

The ilioposas flesxes the hip because of its insertion on the ____________.
- A.
Femur
- B.
Greater trochanter
- C.
Lesser trochanter
- D.
Iliac Crest
Correct Answer
C. Lesser trochanterExplanation
The iliopsoas muscle is responsible for flexing the hip joint. It inserts on the lesser trochanter of the femur, which is a bony prominence located on the inner side of the femur. When the iliopsoas contracts, it pulls on the lesser trochanter, causing the hip joint to flex and bringing the thigh closer to the abdomen. Therefore, the insertion on the lesser trochanter allows the iliopsoas to perform its function of hip flexion.Rate this question:

Cross-fiber massage must be applied in which direction to the fibers?
- A.
Horizontally
- B.
At right angles
- C.
Triangularly
- D.
Trapezoidally
Correct Answer
A. HorizontallyExplanation
Cross-fiber massage should be applied horizontally to the fibers. This means that the massage strokes should be perpendicular to the direction of the muscle fibers. This technique is used to break up adhesions and scar tissue, improve circulation, and increase flexibility. By applying the massage horizontally, the therapist can target specific areas and effectively release tension and promote healing.Rate this question:

With your client in the supine position, how do you expose the serratus anterior?
- A.
Lateral rotation and adduction of the arm
- B.
Medial rotation and adduction of the arm
- C.
Horizontal abduction of the arm
- D.
Horizontal adduction of the arm
Correct Answer
C. Horizontal abduction of the armExplanation
To expose the serratus anterior, the arm needs to be horizontally abducted. This means that the arm is moved away from the midline of the body, in a sideways direction. This movement helps to stretch and expose the serratus anterior muscle, allowing for better visualization and access during examination or treatment. Lateral rotation and adduction, medial rotation and adduction, or horizontal adduction of the arm would not provide the same exposure of the serratus anterior.Rate this question:

Hypercontraction of the pectoralis minor causes rounded shoulders. Which muscle would be weak and overstretched?
- A.
Pectoralis minor
- B.
Rhomboids
- C.
Subclavius
- D.
Levator scapula
Correct Answer
B. RhomboidsExplanation
The rhomboids would be weak and overstretched if the pectoralis minor is hypercontracted. The rhomboids are responsible for retracting and stabilizing the scapula, while the pectoralis minor is responsible for protracting and depressing the scapula. When the pectoralis minor is hypercontracted, it pulls the scapula forward and downward, causing rounded shoulders. This can lead to weakness and overstretching of the rhomboids, as they are constantly trying to counteract the excessive protraction and depression of the scapula.Rate this question:
