Station II
Q1: Explain Active Movement?
Ans: Active Movement is what can be achieved when opposing muscles contract and relax,
resulting in joint movement.
Ans: The forces of resistance offered to the action of the working muscles are artificially and
systematically increased to develop the power and endurance of the muscles.
Q4: Explain Eccentric Contraction and give an example?
Ans: Eccentric contraction occurs when the total length of the muscle increases as tension is
produced. For Example: walking down stairs, running downhill, lowering weights, and the
downward motion of squats, push-ups or pull-ups

Station III
Ans: There is shortening of soft tissue and muscle weakness, either due to poor posture habits or
trauma to the soft tissues.
Station IV
Q1.How Syngersit work?
Ans: A fixator muscle is one that serves as a stabilizer of one part of the body during movement
of another part. It allows the agonist muscle to work effectively by stabilizing the origin of the
agonist muscle so that the latter can pull against the bone without it moving thereby achieve an
effective contraction

Q1: Define Manual Muscle Testing?
Ans: Manual muscle test (MMT) is a procedure for the evaluation of strength of individual
muscle or muscles group, based upon the effective performance of a movement in relation to the
forces of gravity or Manual Resistance through the available Range of motion (ROM).
Q2: Name different scales used in testing.
Ans: With a grade 4, patients can only successfully perform the full range of motion during
testing with moderate pressure. In this grade, a patient is able to perform complete range of
motion with the addition of gravity and minimal resistance
