ESSAY

37-41.Describe the basic principles for using PNF stretching techniques.

42-46. Describe the criteria to return to full activity.

INJURY ASSESSMENT

47-50. Describe how you would perform the diagonal patterns for building strength in the lower extremity.

51-55. A high school basketball player has been evaluated by her personal physician and was found to have sustained a mild sprain of the medial collateral ligament in the right knee. Immobilization was not necessary, but the physician placed the athlete on crutches until the swelling decreases and wants an exercise program established as soon as possible. Establish an exercise program using the phases covered in the book.
