(NA) FMS Flashcards
purpose of FMS
to create a screening process that would allow anyone dealing with active individuals to easily set a baseline of movement ability + decide whether an individual had deficient movement + identify if someone is at risk for injury
3 tiers of movement progression
unloaded mobility -> loaded stability -> dynamic motor control (movement)
mobility
active flexibility
what things control mobility
flexibility, proprioceptors, CNS, muscular strength, movement learning
what things control flexibility
anatomical structures, tendon elasticity, ligament elasticity, muscle elasticity
7 basic movements of FMS
(in order that screening would be CONDUCTED)
deep squat
hurdle step
inline lunge
shoulder mobility
active straight leg raise
trunk stability push up
rotary stability
3 dynamic movements of FMS
inline lunge
hurdle step
overhead squat
what 3 things are the FMS movements evaluated off of
mobility
stability
dynamic movement
FMS scoring
scored 0-3; count lowest score for bilateral tests but both sides must be symmetric to train
0: pain in movement, test is stopped + client is referred to a clinician
1: movement pattern if deficient + below required minimums
2: movement pattern is sufficient enough to load + train that pattern
3: movement pattern is near perfect
what is the most complicated movement of FMS
deep squat
deep squat objective
coordinated mobility in upper + lower body while also using core stability
deep squat verbal instructions
-stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart + toes pointed forward
-grasp dowel in both hands + place on top of head so shoulders + elbows are at 90 degrees
-press dowel so that it is directly above head
-while maintaining an upright torso + keeping heels + dowel in position, descend into squat as deeply as possible
-hold bottom position for a count of 1, then return to starting position
3: deep squat
-upper torso is parallel with tibia or toward vertical
-femur is below horizontal
-knees are aligned over feet
-dowel is aligned over feet
2: deep squat
-upper torso is parallel with tibia or toward vertical
-femur is below horizontal
-knees are aligned over feel
-dowel is aligned over feet
-HEELS ARE ELEVATED
1: deep squat
-tibia + upper torso ARE NOT PARALLEL
-femur is NOT BELOW HORIZONTAL
-knees ARE NOT ALIGNED OVER FEET
-LUMBAR FLEXION IS NOTED
hurdle step objective
lower body mobility + core stability; gait shifting with exaggerated core stability
hurdle step verbal instructions
-stand tall with feet together + toes touching test kit
-grasp dowel in both hands + place on top of head so shoulders + elbows are at 90 degrees; while maintaining hand position, lower dowel to base of neck + across shoulders
-while keeping upright torso, raise right leg + step over hurdle, making sure to raise foot towards shin + maintain foot alignment vertically with ankle, knee, + hip
-touch floor with heel + return to starting position while maintaining the same alignment
3: hurdle step
-hips, knees, + ankles remain aligned in sagittal plane
-minimal movement is noted in lumbar spine
-dowel + hurdle remain parallel
