Special Tests
● These tests are conducted when there are suspected tendon tears, strains, possible
impingement, nerve entrapment, or tendinitis
● True or false: Cozen's test involves wrist flexion — false
● Empty can test

● How many minutes of rest would someone who is engaging in a heavy load with high
reps need between sets?
a. 3-4 minutes
b. Low reps and low load → 1-2 minutes

deconditioning. This person has osteoporosis. Which type(s)of exercises are
appropriate? (low, moderate, high resistance)?
