How do you score shoulder mobility evaluation in the FMS?
Basic Shoulder Evaluation
3 = Fists are within one hand length.
2 = Fists are within one-and-a-half hand lengths.
1 = Fists are NOT within one-and-a-half hand lengths.
0 = Pain / can’t perform.
How can I tell if the joint is a problem?
- What would you do?
“Play?”
Basic Shoulder Evaluation
Joint play movements:
- Posterior Glide
- Lateral Glide
- Inferior Glide
- Distractive/inferior Glide
- Anterior Glide
Two questions to think about while assessing joint play = ?
Basic Shoulder Evaluation
Joint Play Movements Questions:

- Do they elicit pain?
Posterior Capsular Tightness:
- Posterior shoulder is considered restricted if the client’s arm is unable to drop below = ?
- How would you remedy this = ?
Basic Shoulder Evaluation
Posterior Capsular Tightness:
- Block the scapula as you move the shoulder into horizontal flexion/adduction.
- Posterior shoulder is considered restricted if the client’s arm is unable to drop below a 0° point relative to the horizontal plane.
Signs and symptoms of local muscular dysfunction = ?
palpation?
Basic Shoulder Evaluation
Signs and symptoms of local muscular dysfunction:
- Ropy/Ropelike quality
- Taught & Tender
- Knots or Trigger points or banded muscle fibers
- Replication of symptoms distally with palpation of proximal muscles
- Increased tone/tension
- Patient withdraws/flinches to reasonable pressure
- Possible swelling or inflammatory signs
