response to resisted movements

Answer 4

strong and painless

strong and painful

weak and painless

weak and painful

all movements are painful

pain with repetitive movement

Question 5

strong and painless

Answer 5

implies normal muscle power

implies contractile tissue probably not involved

may be pain @ rest

pain @ rest –> strong and painless

Answer 6

w/ resistance added there is no chance in sxs
