Exw 330 Final Lab Practical
Functional Movement Screen (for all tests if pain score is 0)
Deep Squat * Purpose * Assesses bilateral, symmetrical, and functional mobility of the hips, knees, and ankles. * Dowel held overhead assesses bilateral, symmetrical functional mobility of the shoulders as well as the thoracic spine. * Description * Athlete places feet slightly farther than shoulder width and places hands on the dowel to form a 90o angle at elbows overhead. * Athlete presses the dowel overhead with the shoulder flexed and abducted and elbows extended. Descends slowly into a squat position with heels on the floor, head and chest facing forward and dowel pressed maximally overhead. * Three chances to perform the test. * Score * Three * Upper torso is parallel with tibia or toward vertical. * Femur is below horizontal * Knees are aligned over feet * Dowel is aligned over feet. * Two * Upper torso is parallel with tibia or toward vertical * Femur is below horizontal * Knees are not aligned over feet * Dowel is aligned over feet * Heels on 2x6 board * One * Tibia and upper torso are not parallel * Femur is not below horizontal * Knees are not aligned over feet * Lumbar flexion is noted.
Hurdle Step * Purpose * Assesses bilateral functional mobility and stability of the hips, knees, and ankles * Description * Athlete places feet together and aligns the toes directly beneath the hurdle * Hurdle adjusted to the height of the athlete’s tibial tuberosity, and the dowel is positioned across the athlete’s shoulders below the neck. * Athlete slowly steps over the hurdle and touches the heel to the floor while keeping the stance leg in extended position. Weight should remain on stance leg. * Slowly returns to the starting position * Three chances to
