Active Care Exam 2 Practice Test

Retraining in evidence-inspired active care centers on re-educating movement through motor-learning principles. It uses a progression that helps the nervous system learn and control functional patterns. Neurodevelopmental sequencing guides how tasks are ordered—from simple to more complex—to build stable motor control. Block versus random practice reflects how practice structure influences learning: early on, block practice helps refine movement, while later, random practice improves retention and transfer to real-life tasks. Load strategies describe how to progressively challenge the movement system: primary load management focuses on task-specific demands, and secondary load management adds external resistance or perturbations as tolerance increases. Together, these elements shape how patients relearn movement and function. The other options emphasize techniques or aspects that aren’t primarily about re-educating movement patterns: manual techniques target tissue or neuromuscular facilitation; emphasis on mobility and stability or on discussion and protection covers different parts of care or education rather than the retraining of movement itself.
