Question 2

When a person abducts the shoulder to 90 degrees,then moves the arm backward,what is that motion called?&#10;A) Medial rotation&#10;B) Lateral rotation&#10;C) Horizontal adduction&#10;D) Horizontal abduction

Accepted Answer

Question 6

Turning your head to look over your left shoulder involves cervical&#10;A) left rotation.&#10;B) right rotation.&#10;C) left lateral bend.&#10;D) right lateral bend.

Accepted Answer

When you turn your head to look over your left shoulder, the cervical spine rotates to the left. Therefore, the correct choice is A) left rotation.

Question 7

Sliding your foot under your chair to prepare to stand involves knee&#10;A) flexion.&#10;B) extension.&#10;C) inversion.&#10;D) abduction.

Accepted Answer

Sliding your foot under your chair involves bringing your heel closer to your buttocks, which is an example of knee flexion. The other options do not accurately describe the movement involved in this action.

Question 8

In moving from anatomical position into fundamental position,the forearm moves into&#10;A) pronation.&#10;B) supination.&#10;C) inversion.&#10;D) eversion.

Accepted Answer

In anatomical position, the arms are held straight down at the sides with the palms facing forward (in supination). In fundamental position, the arms are at the sides with the palms facing the thighs. To achieve this position, the forearm must rotate inward, which is pronation. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Pronation.

Question 9

When the scapula moves into a protracted position,they move in what direction in relation to the spine?&#10;A) Superior&#10;B) Inferior&#10;C) Medial&#10;D) Lateral

Accepted Answer

When the scapula moves into a protracted position, it moves laterally away from the spine.

Question 10

When a person grasps an overhead exercise bar and pulls it down,what type of motion is occurring at the shoulder joint?&#10;A) Angular motion&#10;B) Linear motion&#10;C) Kinematic motion&#10;D) Torque motion

Accepted Answer

When a person grasps an overhead exercise bar and pulls it down, the motion that occurs at the shoulder joint is angular motion because the joint is rotating or moving around its axis. Linear motion refers to motion in a straight line, kinematic motion is a broader term that encompasses both angular and linear motion, and torque motion refers to the force that causes rotation around an axis, but not the motion itself.

Question 11

A movement of one bone on another bone to cause an increase in joint angle is called&#10;A) flexion.&#10;B) extension.&#10;C) rotation.&#10;D) circumduction.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A movement of one bone on another...
