FMS Test QA (Graded A)

What is the Functional Movement Screen targeting? - ANSWER-Weak links in a person's movement patterns What is a weak link? - ANSWER-a physical or functional limitation The _______ is a simple diagram constructed to give a mental image and understanding of human movement and movement patterns. - ANSWER-Performance Pyramid What three rectangles make up the performance pyramid? (work your way up) - ANSWER-1. Functional Movement (base/foundation) 2. Functional Power 3. Functional Skill What are the four basic appearances of the performance pyramid? - ANSWER-1. The optimum performance pyramid 2. The over-powered performance pyramid 3. The under-powered performance pyramid 4. The under-skilled performance pyramid On the performance pyramid, the _________ demonstrates the fact that the individual's functional movements are more than adequate to handle the amount of power that they can generate. - ANSWER-Buffer Zone The _______ pyramid represents the individual who scores very poorly on mobility and stability tests, but very highly on power production and adequately in skill. - ANSWER-Over-powered The _______ pyramid demonstrates an individual who has adequate or optimal functional movement. - ANSWER-Optimum The ________ pyramid represents those who have excellent freedom of movement, but whose efficiency is poor and could stand improvement. - ANSWER-under-powered The ________ pyramid represents an individual who either naturally or through work has appropriate functional movement patterns and good power production, but has not had effective mastery of sports skill. - ANSWER-Under-skilled ________ is the combination of muscle flexibility, joint range or motion, and a body segment's freedom of movement - ANSWER-Mobility __________ is the ability to maintain posture and/or control motion - ANSWER-Stability Testing functional movement allows professionals to understand the interaction between ___________ - ANSWER-mobility and stability _____________ will likely lead to micro trauma and chronic injuries thought the body - ANSWER-movement imbalances The Functional Movement Screen is studying ________________ in an effort to determine the weak link in a person's movements. - ANSWER-fundamental movement patterns When performing each test the individual is given _______ attempts to perform the movement as described - ANSWER-three When in doubt score ___ - ANSWER-low List the FMS tests. (try and list them in order and include any clearance tests) - ANSWER-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? - ANSWER-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. - ANSWER-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 - ANSWER-2x6 board Purpose of the hurdle step? - ANSWER-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 __________ - ANSWER-tibial tuberosity Purpose of the in-line lunge? - ANSWER-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. - ANSWER-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 - ANSWER-front During shoulder mobility, the tester determines hand length by measuring ________ - ANSWER-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 - ANSWER-the two closest bony prominences on left and right hands What clearing exam follows follows the shoulder mobility test - ANSWER-shoulder impingement Active Straight Leg Raise, the tester identifies midpoint between the ________ and places the dowel an this position - ANSWER-anterior superior illiac spine (ASIS) and mid-point of the patella ALS, the _____ must pass the dowel - ANSWER-malleolus The muscle(s) in focus during the ASL are - ANSWER-hamstrings Trunk Stability Push-up, the body should be lifted as a _______ - ANSWER-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 ___________ - ANSWER-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 ______ - ANSWER-forehead, chin The _____ follows the trunk stability push up as a clearing exam to observe any undetected ______ - ANSWER-spinal extension, back pain Rotary Stability requires proper ____________ from one segment of the body to another through the torso - ANSWER-neuromuscular coordination and energy transfer _______ is a clearance exam that follows rotary stability in order to identify any undetected back pain - ANSWER-spinal flexion The goal of the FMS is to ______________________ - ANSWER-locate the body's weak link in a movement pattern and improve it thought therapeutic exercise Deep Squat Corrective Exercises - ANSWER-Partner Stretch Prone Quad Stretch Wall Sit Dorsiflexion Stretch Hurdle Step Corrective Exercises - ANSWER-Partner Prone Hip Flexor Stretch Stride with Hip External Rotation Stride Stretch with/without Spinal Rotation In-Line Lunge Corrective Exercises - ANSWER-Partner Thomas Test Stretch Gastroc/Soleus Stretch Latissimus Dorsi/ External Rotation Stretch Leg Lock Bridge Shoulder Mobility Corrective Exercises - ANSWER-Partner Traction w/ Int/Ext Rotation Stretch Wall Sit with Shoulder Press Active Straight Leg Raise Corrective Exercises - ANSWER-Partner Straight Leg Raise Single Leg Lowering Progression Trunk Stability Push-Up Corrective Exercises - ANSWER-Incline push-up Push-up walkout Rotary Stability Corrective Exercises - ANSWER-Bilateral Hip Flexed Rotation Abd/Add... Hip Flexed Torso Rotation... Rolling....
