- As an athletic trainer, you are supervising the rehabilitation of a junior baseball pitcher who underwent minor shoulder surgery during the winter. His rehabilitation is progressing well and is now able to do all the exercises you prescribe. You are considering adding some functional exercises to his program. Fully explain what is meant by functional exercises and then be creative and suggest five functional exercises to stress his shoulder. Then explain why each exercise would be considered a functional exercise.arrow_forwardFactors that increase the stability of the hip joint includearrow_forwardCharacteristics of rheumatoid arthritis include: A.

For each phase, match the joint movements occurring and then match the force causing movement (muscle or gravity), the force resisting movement (muscle or gravity) and the functional muscle group, type of contraction with each joint for the respective phase.

- When will arm span and knee height be used? Are there any limitations on using these two methods?arrow_forwardExplain why weight lifters are not well adapted for distance running.arrow_forwardAn isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forward
