Static (Correct) D. Static-progressive Q2: A patient with left elbow trauma following a motor vehicular accident comes to the clinic 3 months following surgery to re-establish range of motion to the left elbow per surgeon’s orders.

Biomechanical (Correct) C. Sensorimotor D. Spatiotemporal Q4: At the children pediatric center, orthoses are used as an early intervention to improve hand function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy to address excessive thumb adduction and flexion and limited active wrist extension. What intervention approach is used? A. Biomechanical B. Cognitive C. Rehabilitative D.
