The four basic types of tissue are muscle, nervous, connective, and (a) .
(a) is a tissue’s ability to return to its original shape after a load is removed.
Ice or cold water immersion are two forms of therapy known as (a) .
In the second phase of healing, a delicate connective tissue called (a) tissue forms to fill the gaps in the injured area.
When muscle or tendon tissue is stretched or torn, the injury is called a (a) .
The most commonly strained muscles in the body are the (a) .
Research indicates that the main reason why ankle sprains reoccur is decreased (a) following the initial sprain
(a) fractures stay within the surrounding soft tissue.
(a) fractures protrude from the skin.
People who play tennis are most likely to develop (a) epicondylitis.
Patellar tendonitis is commonly known as (a) .
Skin is an example of connective tissue.
True
False
A prosthesis cannot handle loads as well as the human tissue it replaces.
True
False
Sprains and strains occur in the elastic region of the load–deformation curve.
True
False
The slope of the curve in the elastic region indicates the stiffness of the material.
True
False
Tissue becomes completely unresponsive to loads at the yield-level point.
True
False
The inflammatory response phase lasts from two to four days.
True
False
Fibroblasts produce collagen fibers, which are deposited randomly throughout the forming scar.
True
False
During the maturation–remodeling phase, it is important to introduce controlled rehab-specific exercises that are designed to restore normal range of motion and strength to the injured tissue.
True
False
Sprains and strains are classified into three grades based on the amount of damage to the tissue and the resulting pain and loss of function.
True
False
Grade one sprains are the most serious.
True
False
The main mechanism of a hamstring injury is rapid contraction in a shortened condition.
True
False
The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint and the least unstable.
True
False

True
False

True
False
Medial epicondylitis is commonly known as golfer’s elbow.
True
False
Research indicates that a proper warm-up can improve performance.
True
False

True
False
