- What are the three phases of the tissue healing process, in order?
Show answer
Inflammatory phase, proliferative (fibroblastic) phase, remodeling (maturation) phase- Approximately how long does the acute inflammatory phase of healing typically last?
Show answer
About 0 to 4 days- What is the main tissue activity during the proliferative phase of healing?
Show answer
Collagen synthesis and formation of new granulation tissue- What is the main tissue activity during the remodeling phase of healing?
Show answer
Collagen fibers reorganize and mature along lines of stress, increasing tensile strength- What rehabilitation principle states that training adaptations are specific to the type of demand placed on the body?
Show answer
The principle of specificity (SAID principle)- What does the acronym SAID stand for in exercise physiology?
Show answer
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands- What rehabilitation principle states that a tissue must be gradually and progressively stressed to increase its capacity?
Show answer
The principle of progressive overload- What is the typical general order of progression in a rehabilitation program?
Show answer
Restore range of motion, then strength, then proprioception and balance, then sport-specific function- What type of muscle contraction shortens the muscle while generating force?
Show answer
Concentric contraction- What type of muscle contraction lengthens the muscle while it generates force to control motion?
Show answer
Eccentric contraction- What type of muscle contraction generates force without a change in muscle length or joint angle?
Show answer
Isometric contraction- What type of exercise machine keeps movement speed constant while resistance varies to match the user's force output?
Show answer
Isokinetic exercise- What defines a closed kinetic chain exercise?
Show answer
The distal segment (such as the foot or hand) is fixed against a surface during the movement- What defines an open kinetic chain exercise?
Show answer
The distal segment moves freely in space during the movement- Give an example of a closed kinetic chain lower extremity exercise.
Show answer
A squat or leg press
