- Q1Which muscle energy technique involves the patient contracting a specific muscle while the therapist applies a counterforce in the opposite direction?Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR)Soft Tissue ReleaseReciprocal InhibitionJoint Mobilization30s
- Q2Which muscle energy technique involves the patient actively moving a joint to its restrictive barrier, followed by a mild isometric contraction in the opposite direction?Active Release Technique (ART)Isolytic ContractionTransverse Friction MassageMyofascial Release30s
- Q3Which muscle energy technique involves the therapist passively moving a joint to its restrictive barrier, followed by a controlled isometric contraction by the patient in a specific direction?Muscle Energy Technique (MET)Strain-CounterstrainActive Release Technique (ART)Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)30s
- Q4In muscle energy technique, what does the term 'counterstrain' refer to?Forcing a joint beyond its normal range of motionDynamic stretching of the muscleApplying deep pressure to release trigger pointsPosition of comfort that is opposite to the restricted barrier30s
- Q5Which muscle energy technique involves the patient actively contracting a specific muscle against a resistance applied by the therapist for a short duration?Cross Friction MassageGraston TechniqueIsotonic ContractionPress-and-lean Technique30s
- Q6What is the primary goal of muscle energy techniques in physiotherapy?To induce muscle hypertrophyTo decrease joint stabilityTo promote quick muscle fatigueTo improve muscle function, increase range of motion, and reduce pain30s
- Q7Which muscle energy technique involves the patient contracting a specific muscle while the therapist resists the movement for a short duration?Isometric ContractionStrain-CounterstrainActive Release Technique (ART)Passive Range of Motion (PROM)30s
- Q8Which muscle energy technique involves the therapist applying a counterforce to a specific muscle while the patient holds an isometric contraction in the opposite direction?Reciprocal InhibitionPost-Isometric Relaxation (PIR)Joint MobilizationCross Friction Massage30s
- Q9In muscle energy technique, what is the purpose of the therapist applying a counterforce to the patient's muscle contraction?To limit muscle movement and reduce range of motionTo intensify muscle contraction and induce fatigueTo enhance muscle relaxation and increase joint mobilityTo trigger muscle spasm and discomfort30s
- Q10Which of the following muscle energy techniques involves the therapist passively moving a joint to its restrictive barrier, followed by the patient's isometric contraction in the opposite direction for a few seconds?Reciprocal InhibitionStrain-CounterstrainActive Release Technique (ART)Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)30s
- Q11What is the purpose of muscle energy technique in physiotherapy?To induce muscle hypertrophyTo improve cardiovascular fitnessTo correct musculoskeletal dysfunctionsTo enhance cognitive function30s
