Which term describes treatment to prevent disability or to restore functioning through exercise?

• A. Anger management
• B. Ultrasound
• C. Physical therapy
• D. Negotiation

Answer: (C)

The main idea is rehabilitation that uses targeted exercise to protect or regain movement. Physical therapy is the field that uses prescribed exercises, progressive activities, and sometimes hands-on techniques to prevent disability after injury or illness and to restore function. It focuses on improving strength, range of motion, balance, and coordination to help people return to daily activities or work. Anger management is about coping with emotions, ultrasound is a treatment modality sometimes used within physical therapy but not the exercise-based approach itself, and negotiation relates to resolving disputes rather than medical rehabilitation.
