Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 1. After the hypertonic muscles have been lengthened, stimulating and facilitating the hypotonic or weakened antagonists improves the overall function of the joint.
True
False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 2. METs are contraindicated for acute soft tissue injuries, such as muscle strains, for at least the first 72 hours after the injury is sustained.
True
False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 3. MET is a method that encourages hypertonic tissues that persist beyond the time needed for the injured tissue to heal to return to their normal resting length.
True
False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false. PMET is a valuable adjunct therapy to use after the constricted, hypertonic muscles have been treated directly by methods such as stretching.
True
False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 5. During the acute period, the preferred treatment is designated by the acronym PRICE - protect, rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
True
False
