B. Stabilization in weight-bearing positions
C. Lower extremity alignment, avoiding collapse of the knee medially
D. All of the above
5. Incorporating the soccer ball and soccer-specific equipment in phase 2 is important to enhance soccer-specific neuromuscular stabilization strategies, but can be discouraging and promote a negative psychological attitude in rehabilitation.

A. Single-leg hopping training
B. Rotation training
C. Full contact situations
D. a and b

A. True
B. False
8. Graft healing time should be balanced with the depth of the skier tuck because squat positions deeper than which of the following can increase anterior tibial translation?
A. 30 degrees
B. 40 degrees
C. 50 degrees
D. 60 degrees
9. Which of the following are minimum requirements to advance to skiing sport-specific training as this phase will challenge the athlete to perform specific jump-landing tasks?

B. Perform a single-leg squat to 30° while maintaining optimal varus/valgus alignment of the knee within the weight-bearing line of the lower extremity
C. A and b

A. Addressing proper landing mechanics
B. Hip abduction strengthening
C. Cocontraction of the quadriceps and hamstrings

A. Leg presses
B. Single-leg squat
C. Hamstring curls
D. Rotational squats
14. During ACL rehabilitation training for a basketball athlete, proper posture upon landing should include all of the following, EXCEPT?
A. Pelvic stability
B. Trunk flexion
C. Ankle pronation
D. Knee flexion without frontal or transverse plane movements at the knee
15. All of the following are ways to increase the difficulty of a task and provide a progression component to basketball-specific agility drills EXCEPT:
A. Decreasing rest periods
B. Adding ball handling
C. Intensity of the movements and cuts

16. Contact drills are allowed in basketball, when the player is able to go through noncontact drills at full speed, without pain or swelling and with full confidence.
A. True
B. False
17. General criteria to progress from phase 1 into phase 2 of basketball rehabilitation includes all of the following, EXCEPT:
A. Little to no pain during ambulation
B. Mild to no swelling following rehabilitation and activities of daily living
C. Ability to do vertical 15-cm box jumps, forward, left and right with good control of hip and knee
D. Increasing ability to balance on involved lower extremity
18. The criteria for entering the functional rehabilitation phase for football can include, but are not limited to the following:
A. Full pain-free knee range of motion, a minimum level of quadriceps strength
B. No episodes of giving way and a negative pivot shift test upon examination
C. No significant increases in edema seen with standard rehabilitation
D. A Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test score of 14 or higher, without asymmetries or pain

A. Discrete skill
B. Closed skill
C. Blocked practice
D. Open skill
20. An understanding of the different types of strength, the capabilities of the neuromuscular system, and how relevant certain types of strength are to a particular position is essential for football players in advanced rehabilitation. For example, offensive and defensive linemen may need more exercises/drills that elicit more force production and relatively less velocity of movement, while skill position players may need more exercises/ drills that elicit more velocity of movement and relatively less force production.
A. True
B. False
21. The criteria used to assess readiness for an athlete to return to competitive football should include position-specific, random movements that allow for bilateral comparison. Movement-based testing should be done with the athlete in a stressed or fatigued state.
