Rehabilitation Sciences Practice
Questions
Course Introduction
Rehabilitation Sciences is an interdisciplinary field that explores the principles, methods, and strategies used to restore, maintain, and promote optimal physical, psychological, and social functioning in individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability. This course introduces students to foundational concepts of human anatomy, physiology, and movement, as well as the assessment and intervention techniques employed by professionals such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based practice, patient-centered care, and the social determinants of health as they relate to rehabilitation across the lifespan, preparing students for advanced study or careers in healthcare and human services.

Q1) Which of the following statements describes the relationship between joint reaction forces and the translational/rotatory component forces?
A) The contact force and translation component force run parallel to each other.
B) The contact force and rotatory component force run parallel to each other.
C) The shear force and translation component force run parallel to each other.
Answer: A
Q2) A student is carrying all his books for his Fall semester courses (first year)in his right arm.What does the additional weight do to the combined center of gravity (CoG)of body and books? How will his body most likely respond to this change?
Answer: The center of gravity (for body and books)will be higher and to the right of S2.Because this new location of the CoG would bring the line of gravity (LoG)to the right side of his base of support,he will lean to the left to bring the LoG back to the middle of the base of support (most stable place).The shift in the CoG is unavoidable.The shift of the LoG is an automatic adaptation but under some volitional control.
Q3) Is naming the plane of motion considered part of kinetics or kinematics? Why?
Answer: Kinematics.It is purely a description of motion without regard to the forces causing it.

Q1) Define the motions of spin,slide,and roll as they relate to intra-articular joint motions? Which is most common within a joint?
Answer: Spin is rotation about a fixed axis.Slide is a pure translatory or linear movement of one surface upon another,and roll would be rolling of one surface upon another (as in a rocking chair).Generally,intra-articular surfaces slide and roll upon one another in an attempt to produce as close to a pure spin as possible.This is rarely,if ever,achieved.
Q2) To increase a patient's wrist extension range of motion by using an accessory motion gliding technique,the therapist would want to perform a(n)____________________.
A) posterior glide of the carpals on the radius
B) anterior glide of the carpals on the radius
C) anterior glide of the radius on the carpals
Answer: B
Q3) Define stress and strain.
Answer: Stress is the force applied to a tissue per unit area.Strain is the deformation that occurs in a tissue in response to an applied stress and is expressed as the change in shape (length,width)over its original shape (length or width).Stresses and strains may be tensile,compressive,shear,or torsional.

Sample Questions
Q1) When the body segments act in a closed kinematic chain,are muscles most commonly acting in normal or reverse action?
Answer: Reverse action.This is when the proximal,rather than the distal,segment tends to be moved.This will generally only happen when the lighter distal segment has been fixed on or by something.When one grips a chinning bar,the distal forearms are fixed.A strong contraction of the elbow flexors will pull the proximal humerus (and the connected body)upwards.Even though reverse action can occur other than in a closed chain (e.g.,chin-up example),fixing the distal segment frequently results in a closed chain because weight-bearing is a common source of fixation.The phenomena of closed kinematic chain and reverse action,although frequently associated,may also be independent of each other.
Q2) The function of a Sharpey fiber is to:
A) Attach the periosteum to the bone
B) Attach ligaments to capsules
