FMS testing
what is the purpose of FMS? - ANS-a screening tool to ID limitations and asymmetries
in basic functional movement patterns in people who do not have injuries
FMS is typically done on what type of people? - ANS-healthy, uninjured athletes
what are some risk factors for injury that the FMS is looking to tease out? -
ANS--flexibility, strength, power asymmetries
-osseous structure and body type
-proprioception and neuromuscular controls
-hx of injury
what may cause decreased ROM during functional movements? - ANS--absolute ROM
limitations from tissue restrictions
-pain
-neuromuscular aspect
-dec strength
motion quality vs quanity - ANS-body will sacrifice quality to gain quantity which can
lead to compensatory motion, and then microtrauma
what is the purpose of core stability - ANS--provide stable base for UE/LE to produce
mvmt
-transmits forces from UE to LE and from LE to UE
-acts as the transmission
advantages of the FMS - ANS--can do large groups
-quick, only 5 minutes
-portable
-provides foundation for further referral/assessment
most important concept in scoring - ANS-when in doubt score low
scoring guide - ANS--each test gets 3 attempts
-always take of the two sides
-to earn certain score, individual cannot perform the movement pattern with any of the
characteristics of the level below it
, score of a 3 - ANS-performs functional movement pattern with 100% correctly
score of a 2 - ANS-performs functional movement pattern with compensation
score of a 1 - ANS-unable to perform functional movement patterns
score of a 0 - ANS-pain
what are the 7 FMP tests? - ANS--deep squat
-hurdle step
-lunge
-shoulder mobility
-ASLR
-trunk stability pushup
-rotary stability
what are the 3 clearing tests? - ANS--active impingement (shoulder mobility)
-prone extension (stunk stability pushup)
-prone flexion (rot stability)
3 squat characteristics - ANS--torso parallel to tibia or toward vertical
-femur below horizontal
-knee over toe
-dowel over feet
2 squat characteristics - ANS-same as 3 squat but with kit under heels
1 squat characteristics - ANS-with kit under feet, unable to perform any of the 3 squat
characteristics
squat assesses - ANS--ankle and hip mobility
-LE strength
-core stability
-core stability
-T/S and L/S mobility
-shoulder ROM and mm tightness
3 hurdle characteristics - ANS--LE in sagittal plane
-no L/S movement
