Which of the following is NOT a type of therapeutic exercise?

  1. Active Range of Motion

  2. Passive Range of Motion

  3. Isometric Exercise

  4. Aerobic Exercise


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Aerobic exercise is a type of cardiovascular exercise, not a therapeutic exercise specifically used in physical therapy.

What is the primary goal of therapeutic exercise?

  1. To improve muscle strength

  2. To increase range of motion

  3. To reduce pain

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Therapeutic exercise aims to improve muscle strength, increase range of motion, reduce pain, and restore physical function.

Which type of therapeutic exercise involves moving a joint through its full range of motion without any resistance?

  1. Active Range of Motion

  2. Passive Range of Motion

  3. Isometric Exercise

  4. Strengthening Exercise


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Active Range of Motion exercise involves moving a joint through its full range of motion using the patient's own muscle power.

What is the main purpose of using modalities in physical therapy?

  1. To reduce pain

  2. To improve circulation

  3. To promote healing

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Modalities are used in physical therapy to reduce pain, improve circulation, promote healing, and enhance tissue repair.

Which modality involves the application of heat to the body?

  1. Cryotherapy

  2. Thermotherapy

  3. Electrical Stimulation

  4. Ultrasound


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Thermotherapy involves the application of heat to the body using various methods such as hot packs, heating pads, or paraffin wax.

What is the primary mechanism of action of electrical stimulation in physical therapy?

  1. To stimulate muscle contraction

  2. To reduce pain

  3. To improve circulation

  4. To promote healing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Electrical stimulation works by stimulating muscle contraction, which can help improve muscle strength and function.

Which modality involves the use of sound waves to generate heat in the body?

  1. Cryotherapy

  2. Thermotherapy

  3. Electrical Stimulation

  4. Ultrasound


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ultrasound involves the use of sound waves to generate heat in the body, which can help reduce pain and promote healing.

What is the main purpose of using manual therapy techniques in physical therapy?

  1. To improve joint mobility

  2. To reduce muscle tension

  3. To promote relaxation

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Manual therapy techniques are used to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, promote relaxation, and restore proper biomechanics.

Which type of manual therapy technique involves applying pressure to specific points on the body?

  1. Massage

  2. Joint Mobilization

  3. Trigger Point Release

  4. Stretching


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Trigger Point Release involves applying pressure to specific points on the body, known as trigger points, to relieve muscle pain and tension.

What is the primary goal of stretching exercises in physical therapy?

  1. To increase muscle length

  2. To improve flexibility

  3. To reduce muscle tightness

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Stretching exercises aim to increase muscle length, improve flexibility, reduce muscle tightness, and enhance range of motion.

Which type of stretching technique involves holding a stretch for a prolonged period of time?

  1. Static Stretching

  2. Dynamic Stretching

  3. Active Stretching

  4. Passive Stretching


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Static Stretching involves holding a stretch for a prolonged period of time, typically 30 seconds or more, to improve flexibility.

What is the main purpose of using balance exercises in physical therapy?

  1. To improve balance and coordination

  2. To prevent falls

  3. To strengthen muscles

  4. To improve proprioception


Correct Option:
Explanation:

Balance exercises aim to improve balance and coordination, prevent falls, strengthen muscles, and enhance proprioception, which is the body's ability to sense its position in space.

Which type of balance exercise involves standing on one leg?

  1. Single-Leg Stance

  2. Double-Leg Stance

  3. Tandem Stance

  4. Heel-Toe Walk


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Single-Leg Stance exercise involves standing on one leg, challenging balance and proprioception.

What is the primary goal of using gait training exercises in physical therapy?

  1. To improve walking pattern

  2. To increase walking speed

  3. To reduce the risk of falls

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gait training exercises aim to improve walking pattern, increase walking speed, reduce the risk of falls, and enhance overall mobility.

Which type of gait training exercise involves walking heel-to-toe?

  1. Heel-Toe Walk

  2. Toe-Heel Walk

  3. Side-to-Side Walk

  4. Backward Walk


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Heel-Toe Walk exercise involves walking heel-to-toe, improving balance and coordination.
