what is the purpose of FMS? - ✔✔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? - ✔✔healthy, uninjured athletes
what are some risk factors for injury that the FMS is looking to tease out? - ✔✔-flexibility, strength,
power asymmetries
-osseous structure and body type
-proprioception and neuromuscular controls
-hx of injury
what may cause decreased ROM during functional movements? - ✔✔-absolute ROM limitations from
tissue restrictions
-pain
-neuromuscular aspect
-dec strength
motion quality vs quanity - ✔✔body will sacrifice quality to gain quantity which can lead to
compensatory motion, and then microtrauma
what is the purpose of core stability - ✔✔-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 - ✔✔-can do large groups
-quick, only 5 minutes
, -portable
-provides foundation for further referral/assessment
most important concept in scoring - ✔✔when in doubt score low
scoring guide - ✔✔-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 - ✔✔performs functional movement pattern with 100% correctly
score of a 2 - ✔✔performs functional movement pattern with compensation
score of a 1 - ✔✔unable to perform functional movement patterns
score of a 0 - ✔✔pain
what are the 7 FMP tests? - ✔✔-deep squat
-hurdle step
-lunge
-shoulder mobility
-ASLR
-trunk stability pushup
-rotary stability
what are the 3 clearing tests? - ✔✔-active impingement (shoulder mobility)
-prone extension (stunk stability pushup)
-prone flexion (rot stability)
