Study Notes
Purpose of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
- Evaluates fundamental movement patterns to identify limitations and asymmetries.
- Aims to improve movement efficiency and reduce injury risk in athletic populations.
Fundamental Movement Patterns Evaluated
- The FMS assesses seven fundamental movement patterns.
Assistance During FMS Test
- If no one can assist, students should use a wall or sturdy object for support.
Recommended Attire
- Students should wear comfortable athletic clothing and appropriate footwear for the FMS test.
Movement Preparation
- Movement preparation should include a dynamic warm-up to enhance mobility before the FMS test.
Deep Squat Movement Purpose
- The deep squat assesses bilateral, triple flexion of the hips, knees, and ankles.
Attempts for Each FMS Test
- Students have three attempts to perform each individual FMS test.
Impact of Limited Mobility in Lower Extremities
- Limited mobility affects the ability to achieve proper depth and alignment during the deep squat test.
Dowel Position in Deep Squat Test
- Holding the dowel overhead assesses shoulder stability and spinal alignment.
Torso Position for Highest Score
- The torso should remain upright during the deep squat to achieve the highest score.
Dowel Alignment for Good Score
- The dowel should be aligned over the base of support (feet) for optimal scoring.
Pain During Deep Squat Test
- If pain is experienced during the deep squat, the test is terminated to prevent injury.
FMS Assessment Objectives
- The deep squat test aims to assess overall functional movement quality and stability.
Primary Athletic Movement
- The deep squat reflects the primary movement needed for many athletic events and power movements in the lower extremities.
Dorsiflexion Impact
- Limited closed kinetic chain dorsiflexion of the ankles can hinder squat depth and effectiveness.
Dowel Overhead Assessment
- The dowel held overhead evaluates upper body stability and core control during the deep squat.
