Accurate verified Answers latest update
2025
Anatomical Landmarks --- correct answer ---- anterior superior iliac spine
(ASIS)
- joint line of knee/mid-patella
- tibial tuberosity
- lateral & medial malleolus
- most distal wrist crease
FMS Order --- correct answer ---deep squat
hurdle step
ILL (inline-lunge)
shoulder mobility
active SLR (straight leg raise)
trunk stability push up
rotary stability
,Why the Deep Squat Movement Pattern? --- correct answer ---- fundamental
movement ability
- a posture & a pattern
- lower/control our center of mass from a symmetrical stance
- position of rest
- protect our spine in order to overload the body with unusual heavy loads
or volume
Why the Deep Squat Screen? --- correct answer ---- screen symmetrical
pattern
- move symmetrically into a full ROM of the ankles, knees, and hips
- overhead position = full access of lower body mobility w/out robbing
movement from torso or upper body
- high level of mobility and control
Instructions for Deep Squats --- correct answer ---- shoulder-width apart;
toes forward
- towel on top of head; elbows at 90 degrees
- then squat
3 on DS --- correct answer ---- torso parallel with tibia or toward vertical
- femur is below horizontal
- knees do not track inside
, - dowel aligned over feet
2 on DS --- correct answer ---- torso parallel to tibia or vertical
- femur below horizontal
- knees do not track inside
- dowel aligned
- heels elevated
1 on DS --- correct answer ---- torso not parallel
- femur not below horizontal
- knees track inside
- dowel not aligned
Why the Hurdle Step Movement Pattern? --- correct answer ----
fundamental to ability to walk
- base of locomotive mechanisms
- display control of center of mass w/a changing base of support
Why the Hurdle Step Screen? --- correct answer ---- single leg stance
challenged by a dynamic stepping motion
- demands higher step than normal to express mobility and ROM w/stepping
leg, require stability of stance leg
