After stroke, there are limitations in the shoulder motions of flexion, abduction, and external rotation.  Contractures are likely in all of the following muscles EXCEPT:

During the pre-extension phase of sit to stand, these muscles are activated to propel the body mass forward.

You are treating a patient with a (R) CVA. You notice that he does not acknowledge your presence by turning his head towards you when you address him from the left side. Being aware of your patient’s deficit would make you more effective as a PTA by doing all of the following EXCEPT:

You are observing Mr. Garcia during a grooming activity prior to taking him to the gym for his PT treatment. You notice that Mr. Garcia has deficits related to somatoagnosia and unilateral neglect. Which of the following activities would most likely indicate this deficit?

You have been working on UE strengthening techniques with your patient who has sustained a CVA and has hemiparesis of the L UE, and you are also teaching him how to dress himself using only his R UE.  This one-handed technique would be considered a:

Careful monitoring of exercise is essential when working with a patient s/p CVA. Which of the following is a precaution during exercise?

What question constitutes the Euthyphro Dilemma? For what theory is this dilemma supposed to be a problem? Identify the alternatives in this dilemma and clearly explain at least two problems for each alternative.

Characterize the basic features of the “ethics of care” and clearly explain how this ethic handles the issue of impartiality.

Specifically-yet succinctly-distinguish Simple Subjectivism from Emotivism in terms of how each understands the meaning of moral judgments like, “Hurting animals unnecessarily is wrong.”

EXPLICITLY SHOW HOW YOU ARRIVE AT EACH ANSWER TO RECEIVE CREDIT A 2.50-kg mass is pushed against a horizontal spring of force constant 25.0 N/cm on a frictionless air table. The spring is attached to the tabletop, and the mass is not attached to the spring in any way. When the spring has been compressed enough to store 11.5 J of potential energy in it, the mass is suddenly released from rest. Find the greatest speed the mass reaches. When does this occur? What is the greatest acceleration of the mass?    2. A 2.50 kg block on a horizontal floor is attached to a horizontal spring that is initially compressed 0.0300 m. The spring has spring constant 840 N/m. The block and the spring are released from rest, and the block slides along the floor. If the speed of the block when it has moved a distance of 0.0200 m from its initial position is 0.34 m/s, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block?
