Question 1

The sagittal plane divides the body into:

Accepted Answer

The sagittal plane divides the body into right and left halves.

Question 2

The motions that occur in the transverse plane are:

Accepted Answer

Movements in the transverse plane include medial (internal) and lateral (external) rotation. This plane divides the body into superior and inferior parts, and movements within it are rotational.

Question 3

PROM is used prior to tests and measures of manual muscle testing and goniometry to:

Accepted Answer

PROM (Passive Range of Motion) is used before tests and measures of manual muscle testing and goniometry for several reasons: to demonstrate the desired motion to the patient, to determine the range of motion present, and to assess the end feel of the joints being tested.

Question 4

In what plane of motion do thumb flexion and extension occur?

Accepted Answer

Thumb flexion and extension occur in the frontal plane, which is a vertical plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior halves.

Question 5

When performing lower extremity PNF diagonal patterns, the knee can be straight, flexed, or extended to permit:

Accepted Answer

PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) diagonal patterns for the lower extremity can be performed with the knee in various positions (straight, flexed, or extended) to facilitate both joint and muscle range of motion (ROM), enhancing overall limb function and coordination.
