The physical therapist is sometimes directly responsible for the actions of the physical therapist assistant related to patient / client management.

A load is applied to the central portion of a double-shear cutting fixture. Determine the load required to shear through a piece of brass that has length of 3.20 in., a semi-circular diameter of 0.745 in., and an average shear stress capacity of 29 ksi.

A load of P = 675 lb is applied to beam ABC. Bar (1) is made of brass [E = 13,800 ksi; ν = 0.34] and has a circular cross section with a diameter of 1.06 in. Determine the magnitude of the normal strain in bar (1). Let a = 38 in., b = 15 in., and c = 11 in.

Select all of the following examples that are extrinsic factors contributing to falls in the elderly.

Internal dialogue is communication that occurs within an individual and is only “heard” by the individual himself or herself.  This dialogue may affect communication to other people.

The Foundation for Physical Therapy has provided  money to help at least how many PTs with their research careers?

Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 2,335 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 10 in., b = 13 in., c = 32 in., and d = 8 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.

A load of P = 225 lb is applied to beam ABC. Determine the vertical ground reaction at B. Let a = 31 in., b = 14 in., and c = 8 in.

A load of P = 455 lb is applied to beam ABC. Determine the normal force in bar (1). Let a = 32 in., b = 16 in., and c = 11 in.
