UNIT VIII-Range of Motion Exercise Quiz

Passive range of motion exercises are performed by:

• By doing nothing at all

• By performing high-intensity exercises

• By taking medication

• Another person or with the help of a machine or equipment

What is the purpose of passive range of motion exercises?

• To increase muscle strength

• To improve cardiovascular endurance

• To reduce inflammation

• To maintain joint flexibility and prevent contractures

Active range of motion exercises involve:

• Voluntary movement of the joints by the individual without assistance

• Using a machine to move the joints for the individual

• Sitting still without moving the joints

• Passive movement of the joints by the individual without assistance

What are the benefits of active range of motion exercises?

• Improves flexibility, reduces stiffness, and maintains joint function.

• Causes muscle atrophy

• Leads to decreased flexibility

• Increases joint pain

Assistive range of motion exercises require:

• Performing the exercises quickly without control

• Doing it alone without any assistance

• Assistance of another person or a device

• Using heavy weights for resistance

How can assistive range of motion exercises help individuals?

• By decreasing flexibility and increasing stiffness

• By causing joint pain and discomfort

• By promoting muscle atrophy and reducing circulation

• By improving flexibility, reducing stiffness, increasing circulation, and preventing muscle atrophy.

Isometric range of motion exercises focus on:

• Dynamic muscle contractions with joint movement

• Cardiovascular exercises

• Passive stretching exercises

• Static muscle contractions without joint movement

What are the advantages of isometric range of motion exercises?

• Causes joint movement and instability

• Improves muscle strength and endurance without joint movement

• Decreases muscle strength and endurance

• Requires heavy equipment and machinery

Which type of stretching exercise is best for improving range of motion?

• Dynamic stretching

• Resistance stretching

• Ballistic stretching

• Static stretching

How does stretching exercise help in improving range of motion?

• By causing muscle stiffness and joint immobility

• By decreasing flexibility of muscles and joints

• By reducing blood flow to the muscles and joints

• By increasing flexibility of muscles and joints
