FMS Exam UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
What is the purpose of the FMS - CORRECT ANSWER standard to expose movement
dysfunction or pain with STABILITY and MOBILITY within basic movement patterns
Can the FMS diagnose? - CORRECT ANSWER NOO
Can't isolate joint movements either
What does the FMS contain? - CORRECT ANSWER deep squat
Hurdle site
Inline lunge
Shoulder mobility
Active SLR
Trunk stability push up
Rotatory stability
What portion has two clearing components? What are they? - CORRECT ANSWER inline
lunge
-pain and ankle mobility
Mobility patterns are addressed first because - CORRECT ANSWER stability/motor control
cannot be present with reduced mobility
A score of a zero is because - CORRECT ANSWER PAIN at any portion of test
-refer to medical professional lol
If a person could get a 3 on the trunk stability push up, but have pain in the right shoulder, the raw
score would be? Final score? - CORRECT ANSWER raw score=3
Final score=0
-cuz form was good but pain overrules it!
, The clearing tests influence what score? - CORRECT ANSWER influence the final score but
NOT the raw score
What is the goal intern of score? - CORRECT ANSWER NOT a 21!
--The goal is to set a baseline and to work towards achieving at least 2's on each movement screen.
What is regional interdependence - CORRECT ANSWER •Concept that seemingly unrelated
impairments in a remote anatomical region may contribute to, or be associated with, the patient's
primary complaint
Why is the deep squat used? - CORRECT ANSWER -total body mechanics and neuromuscular
control
-bilateral, symmetrical, functional mobility of LE and UE
How to score a 3 on the deep squat? - CORRECT ANSWER torso is parallel with tibia/vertical
Femur below horizontal
Knees track outside of feet
-dowel aligned over feet

-femur is NOT below horizontal
Knees track inside feet
Dowel is not aligned

Why is the hurdle step used? - CORRECT ANSWER LOCOMOTION AND
ACCELERATION
Bilateral mobility and stability of LE, challenges step and stride mechanics with SL stability
