Chapter 11: Neuromuscular and Movement Function: Coordination, Balance, and Gait
1. A typical age-related change in posture is:
a. Thoracic hyperkyphosis
b. Hyperextension of cervical vertebrae
c. Lateral kyphosis
d. Increased lumbar lordosis
2. Postural control can be thought of as the ability to:
a. Control the body’s position in space
b. Orient oneself when standing
c. Move from sitting to standing smoothly
d. Walk without stumbling or falling
3. A likely cause of gait change in older adults is:
a. Overestimation of remaining postural control and muscle strength leading
b. Failure to perceive and recognize environmental barriers and hazards
c. Adoption of a more cautious walking pattern to address barriers
d. Persistent exhortations by younger adults to slow gait
4. An advantage of the “functional reach test” is that it:
a. Allows measurement of range of motion while seated
b. Measures sitting endurance and posture
c. Is the best test for assessment in the home
d. Is preferred by most older adults
5. An individual with poor anticipatory postural control would be likely to:
a. React to a postural challenge like a gentle push
b. Prepare to maintain balance when a potential challenge is coming
c. Move laterally to avoid someone walking in his or her path
d. Stand upright for an extended period of time
6. Barriers to exercise for older adults include all of the following EXCEPT:
a. Fear of falling or injury
b. Availability of appropriate exercise sites
c. Added equipment typically needed for older adults to exercise safely
d. Insufficient resources to join an exercise facility
7. Age-related changes in the axial skeleton are common and include:
a. Forward head position and rounded shoulders
b. Increased thoracic kyphotic curvature (hyperkyphosis)
c. Increased knee flexion angle
d. A more anterior and hyperextended hip position
8. Changes in coordination in later life include which of the following?
a. Slower hand–eye coordination and decrease in interlimb coordination
b. Smoother gait and ipsilateral hand/foot movement
c. Diminished concern about coordinated action
d. Increased awareness of body in space
9. As age increases, heterogeneity in reaction time:
a. Decreases
b. Increases
c. Remains the same
d. Reaction time is unaffected by aging
10. Of the following, which is most likely to assist with or improve balance for older adults?
a. Weightlifting
b. Swimming
c. Tai chi
d. Push-ups
