OPTIONS
List the FMS tests. (try and list them in order and include any clearance tests) ANSW✅✅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? ANSW✅✅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.
ANSW✅✅Deep Squat
If the criteria for a score of III is not achieved during the deep squat, the athlete if then asked to
perform the test with a ______ under their heels ANSW✅✅2x6 board
Purpose of the hurdle step? ANSW✅✅Designed to challenge the body's proper stride mechanics
during a stepping motion. Assesses bilateral functional mobility and stability of the hips, knees, and
ankles.
The hurdle is adjusted to the height of the athlete's __________ ANSW✅✅tibial tuberosity
Purpose of the in-line lunge? ANSW✅✅Assesses hip and ankle mobility and stability, quadriceps
flexibility and knee stability
For the in-line lunge the tester must measure _____________ and apply it from the end of the toes
of the foot on the board, making a mark. ANSW✅✅from the floor to the tibial tuberosity or use
the height of the hurdle step.
, When performing the inline lunge, the _______ leg is the one being scored ANSW✅✅front
During shoulder mobility, the tester determines hand length by measuring ________
ANSW✅✅distance from the distal wrist crease to the tip of the third digit.
During shoulder mobility the tester measures the distance between _________ to determine score,
then comparing it to starting measurement between wrist crease and third digit ANSW✅✅the
two closest bony prominences on left and right hands
What clearing exam follows follows the shoulder mobility test ANSW✅✅shoulder impingement
Active Straight Leg Raise, the tester identifies midpoint between the ________ and places the dowel
an this position ANSW✅✅anterior superior illiac spine (ASIS) and mid-point of the patella
ALS, the _____ must pass the dowel ANSW✅✅malleolus
The muscle(s) in focus during the ASL are ANSW✅✅hamstrings
Trunk Stability Push-up, the body should be lifted as a _______ ANSW✅✅unit
Women begin the push up with thumbs in line at the ______, if they cannot perform a push-up here
the hands are lowered to the ___________ ANSW✅✅chin, clavicle
Men begin the push up with thumbs aligned in line with the __________, if they cannot perform a
push up here the hands are lowered to the ______ ANSW✅✅forehead, chin
The _____ follows the trunk stability push up as a clearing exam to observe any undetected ______
ANSW✅✅spinal extension, back pain
Rotary Stability requires proper ____________ from one segment of the body to another through
the torso ANSW✅✅neuromuscular coordination and energy transfer
