Movement Quality

Question 1

Typical motor development

Answer 1

• Proximal to distal
• Efficient patterns are learned & solidified; eventually stored centrally as motor programs

Question 2

Dysfunctional movement may increase risk

Answer 2

• Can be learned (bad habits, bad teaching)
• Can be acquired following injury

Question 3

How can a motor task or behavior be measured

Answer 3

• Outcome based (success vs failure)
• Performance based (how was their form)

Question 4

What are the 2 kinds of feedback

Answer 4

• Knowledge of results (KR)
• Knowledge of performance (KP)

Question 5

Movement __________ itself determines “function”

Answer 5

• Pattern

Question 6

What are the 7 components of the FMS (functional movement screen)

Answer 6

• Deep squat
• Hurdle step
• Inline lunge
• Shoulder mobility
• Active straight leg raise
• Trunk stability push up
• Rotary stability

Question 7

What are the 3 clearing test for the FMS

Answer 7

• Shoulder impingement
• Extension (Cobra)
• Flexion (Child’s pose)

Question 8

What are the requirements of a clinical instrument

Answer 8

• Quick
• Cheap
• Valid
• Reliable
• Easy to learn
• Standardized administration
• Feasible across populations
• Eyeball observable

Question 9

What should happen in the deep squat

Answer 9

• Torso alignment
• Knee alignment
• Squat depth
• Dowel position

Question 10

What should happen in the hurdle step

Answer 10

• Hip, knee, ankle alignment
• Any movement other than stepping leg
• Dowel/string parallelism
• Foot contact; LOB

Question 11

What should happen in the inline lunge

Answer 11

• Dowel contact
• Torso movement
• Leaving sagittal plane
• No “knee touch”
• LOB

Question 12

Normal/grading for shoulder mobility

Answer 12

• <1 hand length is a 3
• 1-1.5 hand lengths in a 2
• > 1.5 hand lengths in a 1

Question 13

Normal/grading for active straight leg raise

Answer 13

• Ankle position past mid-thigh is a 3
• Ankle position b/w knee to mid-thigh is a 2
• Ankle position below the knee is a 1

Question 14

Normal/grading for trunk stability push up

Answer 14

• Males with hand position at forehead and rep completed in a 3
• Males with hand position at chin and rep completed is a 2

Question 15

Normal/grading for rotary stability

Answer 15

• Ipsilateral elbow and knee touch in stable movement is a 3
• Contralateral elbow and knee touch in stable movement is a 2
• Contralateral elbow and knee don’t touch/unstable movement is a 1

Question 16

Grading for the shoulder clearing test

Answer 16

• Place hand on opposite shoulder and raise elbow up towards your head
• Pain = fail
• No pain = clear/pass

Question 17

Grading for extension clearing test

Answer 17

• Perform a prone push-up
• Pain = fail
• No pain = clear/pass

Question 18

Grading for flexion clearing test

Answer 18

• Perform a child’s pose
• Pain = fail
• No pain = clear/pass

Question 19

What is the FMS rating scale for each item

Answer 19

• Pain = 0
• Can’t do = 1
• Can’t do perfectly = 2
• Can do perfectly = 3

Question 20

Define ROC

Answer 20

• Receiver operating characteristic analysis
