Do you need some practice questions for the Canadian Exam?

[Crystal R. Westergard]

Next Question:

You are preparing to provide your patient with the closed chain exercises he will need to meet his surgeon's requirements.
Which exercise will not be part of your plan:
1) Hamstring curls on 55" theraball
2) Squats done with arms unloaded by TRX strap
3) Weighted knee extensions
4) Short arc quads exercises with theraband resistance

Thank you emad. That was a very good question. I will also try to form other questions.

My choice will be 1) hams curls on 55 inch ball. My reasoning is that this is open chain exercise, rest others are closed chain. What others say.....

Emad and Canuck are right. The ans would be option 3 ....weighted knee extension..

Answer: #3

I chose this answer because it is an open chain exercise. I am not sure what #4 is (guessing its a standing exercises with theraband resistance, behind knee, and patient mini squats.. but not sure).

Not entirely sure if a hamstring curl on a ball is open or closed?

Is number 1 the correct answer?

Hi Crystal, Thank you for the post so far and just joined the thread. Looking forward to the questions every week and prepare for the exam

My answer is 3 as weighted knee extensions does not require weight bearing of the joint hence open chain. Can you give us the answer
