Q

Modified T/F

A. The PFM are not responsible for gross motor movements alone
but work in synergy with other trunk muscles
B. Thus, one should avoid isolated contraction of PFM as its supposed to work in unison with other muscles

Q

Modified T/F

A. Pelvic floor dysfunction may lead to symptoms during movement
and perceived restriction in the ability to stay physically active.
B. Pelvic dysfunction is often found in isolation and rarely occurs together with other pathologies

A

TF

Pelvic dysfunction may be found together with hip pathology, low back pathology, abdominal pathology because these areas are near the pelvic

25
Q

Theory that states that pelvis require proper alignment and support for optimal function and stability.

A

Boat in the Dry Dock Theory

26
Q

A

Boat in the Dry Dock Theory

27
Q

T/F

In Boat in the Dry Dock Theory, the ship is analogous to the pelvic organs, the ropes to the ligaments and fasciae and the water to the
supportive layer of the PFM

28
Q

T/F

Mary Massery, PT has proposed the Soda-Pop Can Model of Postural Support, in which she describes the glottis (top of the vocal cord) to the top of a soda-pop can.

A

True

29
Q

T/F

According to soda can theory, a can that is closed creates pressure within the can, which is crucial to not only the shape of a soda-pop can but that imagery also relates to the function of your core and maintaining good postural control.
