FMS & SFMA Flashcards
Is there a gold standard in FMS
no
What is FMS used for
a screening tool for injury prediction
What is SFMA used for
To assess inability/dysfunction - more clinical. trying to determine source of pain
What is regional interdependence
Dysfunction in one body region may be contributing to weakness, tightness, or pain in another region
What are the primary risk factors for an injury
- Previous injury
- Asymmetries in mobility/stability
- lack of neuromuscular control
- body size/anatomical alignment
how many movements are in the FMS
7
What does FMS stand for
Functional movement screen
What is the scoring for FMS
each movement is scored 0-3.
Total score of 21 = perfect specimen
Score below 14 at risk of injury
What are the tests of the FMS
- Deep squat
- Hurdle step
- In line lunge
- Shoulder mobility
- Active straight leg raise
- Push up
- Rotary stability
What is rotary stability + its scoring
Bird dog
2 = opposite arm and leg x3
3 = same arm and leg x3
FMS results showed some correlation to risk of injury in what sport
NFL football
FMS test showed significant correlation with what other measures
performance measures
FMS tests showed no significant correlation with wht type of tests
core stability
Which components of the FMS correlated with running injuries
Deep squat and active straight leg raise
FMS effective for injury screeniing in active men?
no
Does the FMS have good reliability
YEs
What does SFMA stand for
Selective functional movement assessment
What is the key concept of the SFMA
Pain alters motor control in a somewhat unpredictable manner
What is the scoring of the SFMA
- Functional and Non-Painful
- Functional and Painful
- Dysfunctional and painful
- Dysfunctional and non-painful
In what scoring stage do you start treatment
- Dysfunctional and not painful
Work in pain free range
What do you treat in dysfunction and non-painful range
- Motor control remains altered due to past injury
- Pain alters motor control
What can the functional and painful range be used for
test and retest
What are the top tier movements of SFMA
- Cervical movement patterns (rotation, extension, flexion)
- UE movement patterns (Medial Rotation Ext, Lateral Rotation Flex (Apley’s scratch test))
- Multi-segmental flexion
- multi-segmental extension
- Multi-segmental rotation (whole body twist each way)
- Single leg stance (Hip flexed to 90 and balance)
- Squatting pattern (arms overhead)
In the Y-balance test which direction is most sensitive to predicting injury
anterior (reduced DF)
How do you conduct the Y balance test
3 trials for reach in each direction on each leg
