Deck 13: Kinesiology Applications in Daily Functional Activities

Question 1

Mobility allows humans all of the following except:

A) to move from one position to another
B) to use body segments for desired functions
C) to provide a stable base from which to operate
D) to be functional

Answer 1

to provide a stable base from which to operate

Question 2

When lifting a large object, the power for the "stand-up" phase of the lift comes from the __________.

A) upper extremities
B) trunk extensors
C) trunk flexors
D) lower extremities

Answer 2

lower extremities

Question 3

To minimize excessive pressure on the patellofemoral joint while lifting, one should _______________ 90 $\degree$ while positioning the hips further __________.

A) restrict flexion of the knee to; posteriorly
B) restrict flexion of the knee to; anteriorly
C) flex the knee beyond; posteriorly
D) flex the knee beyond; anteriorly

Answer 3

restrict flexion of the knee to; posteriorly

Question 4

When carrying a large object, the muscle force requirements of the trunk extensors are minimized if the object is held closer to the body.

Question 5

When moving from floor to stand, infants rely on use of their upper extremities to pull them up by grasping an object such as a table or piece of furniture.

Question 6

During development, rolling initially is a spontaneous motion.

Question 7

Use of the arms during a sit to stand transfer is probably a requirement of individuals with lower extremity injuries, individuals with poor balance, or elderly individuals.

Question 8

Rolling prone to supine is more difficult than rolling supine to prone.

Question 9

During a sit to stand transfer, if the head stays posterior to the feet, the center of mass remains behind the feet and it will be difficult for the individual to stand.

Question 10

When moving from the floor to standing, healthy middle-aged adults maintain the head _________ the trunk.

A) in front of or anterior to
B) in alignment with
C) behind or posterior to
D) in a laterally flexed position with regard to

Question 11

Initially, rolling occurs from the _________ and occurs __________.

A) head; segmentally
B) head; nonsegmentally
C) trunk; segmentally
D) trunk; nonsegmentally

Question 12

Which progression of mobility in infants is most accurate?

A) Rolling, creeping, crawling
B) Crawling, creeping, rolling
C) Creeping, crawling, rolling
D) Rolling, crawling, creeping

Question 13

Ideally when lifting a large box from the floor, which two trunk muscles are desired to co-contract?

A) Rectus abdominis and multifidus
B) Transverse abdominis and multifidus
C) External oblique and semispinalis
D) Transverse abdominis and semispinalis

Question 14

What position should the lumbar spine avoid when lifting a large box from the floor?

A) Extension
B) Sidebending
C) Flexion
D) Neutral flexion/extension

Question 15

When vacuuming, the thrust of the force is derived from the:

A) shoulder muscles
B) elbow flexors/extensors
C) trunk muscles
D) lower extremity musculature

Question 16

Which of the following muscle groups are of critical importance when transferring from sitting to standing?

A) Hip flexors; knee flexors
B) Hip flexors; knee extensors
C) Hip extensors; knee flexors
D) Hip extensors; knee extensors

Question 17

When moving from sit to stand, the head should remain posterior to the plane of the feet.

Question 18

Lower extremity strength requirements are greater when rising from a chair by using the upper extremities to push off the chair.

Question 19

A clinician should always position himself or herself on the affected side of a patient when gait training.

Question 20

When performed correctly, transfer from the quadruped to the kneeling position actually comes from the back rather than the hips.
