FMS Test
What is the Functional Movement Screen targeting? - ANS-Weak links in a person's
movement patterns
What is a weak link? - ANS-a physical or functional limitation
The _______ is a simple diagram constructed to give a mental image and
understanding of human movement and movement patterns. - ANS-Performance
Pyramid
What three rectangles make up the performance pyramid? (work your way up) - ANS-1.
Functional Movement (base/foundation)
2. Functional Power
3. Functional Skill
What are the four basic appearances of the performance pyramid? - ANS-1. The
optimum performance pyramid
2. The over-powered performance pyramid
3. The under-powered performance pyramid
4. The under-skilled performance pyramid
On the performance pyramid, the _________ demonstrates the fact that the individual's
functional movements are more than adequate to handle the amount of power that they
can generate. - ANS-Buffer Zone
The _______ pyramid represents the individual who scores very poorly on mobility and
stability tests, but very highly on power production and adequately in skill. -
ANS-Over-powered
The _______ pyramid demonstrates an individual who has adequate or optimal
functional movement. - ANS-Optimum
The ________ pyramid represents those who have excellent freedom of movement, but
whose efficiency is poor and could stand improvement. - ANS-under-powered
, The ________ pyramid represents an individual who either naturally or through work
has appropriate functional movement patterns and good power production, but has not
had effective mastery of sports skill. - ANS-Under-skilled
________ is the combination of muscle flexibility, joint range or motion, and a body
segment's freedom of movement - ANS-Mobility
__________ is the ability to maintain posture and/or control motion - ANS-Stability
Testing functional movement allows professionals to understand the interaction between
___________ - ANS-mobility and stability
_____________ will likely lead to micro trauma and chronic injuries thought the body -
ANS-movement imbalances
The Functional Movement Screen is studying ________________ in an effort to
determine the weak link in a person's movements. - ANS-fundamental movement
patterns
When performing each test the individual is given _______ attempts to perform the
movement as described - ANS-three
When in doubt score ___ - ANS-low
List the FMS tests. (try and list them in order and include any clearance tests) - ANS-1.
Deep Squat
2. Hurdle Step
3. In-Line Lunge
4. Shoulder Mobility (Clearance Test: Active Impingement)
5. Active Straight Leg Raise
6. Trunk Stability Push-Up (Clearance Test: Extension)
7. Rotary Stability (Clearance Test: Flexion)
Purpose of the deep squat? - ANS-Assesses mobility and stability of the knees, hips,
and ankles. Challenges total body mechanics
The ______ is the only screen that does not asses the left and right sides of the body
independently. - ANS-Deep Squat
