which they are used for will be? - CORRECT ANSWER0
what is the best total score that can be attained on the FMS? - CORRECT ANSWER21
true or false: only the lowest score is recorded and considered when tallying the total
score - CORRECT ANSWERtrue
when in doubt, score the subject low

tips for testing:
- when in doubt, score the subject low

ANSWER
deep squat: previous testing has identified that when an athlete achieves a score of II,
minor limitations most often exist either with? - CORRECT ANSWER- closed-kinetic
chain DF of the ankle or
- extension of the thoracic spine
when an athlete achieves a score of I or less, gross limitations may exist with these
motions, as well as flexion of the hip
hurdle step: what leg is scored? - CORRECT ANSWERleg that is stepping over the
hurdle
hurdle step: previous testing has identified that when an athlete achieves a score of II,
minor limitations most often exist with? - CORRECT ANSWERankle DF and hip flexion
with the step leg
when an athlete scores a I or less, relative asymmetric hip immobility may exist,
secondary to an anterior tilted pelvis and poor trunk stability
