Postural Fitness Tests: (In Order) 1. FMS (Functional Movement Screening): FMS is a fitness screening tool used to identify movement asymmetric or major limitations in functional movement patterns (Cook, Burton, & Fields, 2016). If athletes have a low movement quality and or muscle imbalances, then it is more likely they are compensating and are at a higher risk of injury. It consists of 7 tests that focus on the basic function, mobility, and stability. The 7 tests include: o Deep Squat  Procedure:

• Move your right leg up, to straighten your knee. • Hold it for 2 seconds and bring it back down. • Breathe out slowly as you move your leg up. • Breathe in slowly as you bring it back down. • Repeat the same on the left leg. • Repeat the exercise 10 times on both sides. (Healthwise, 2014) 6) Pedal exercises for legs • In sitting position with the pedals on the floor and set the resistance to low. • Place your feet

A male basketball player came into the clinic complaining of back pain that sometimes travels down his leg. This athlete has a long history( 3+ years) of back pain and often uses advil to get through practice and games. The pain often starts as pinching in the lumbar spine and as it gets worse, becomes a tight shooting pain into the left leg. The pain is often described as tightness or pulling with no numbness or tingling. He often has difficulty bending over to pick something up or tying his shoes

evaluation purpose, test parameters, outcome measurements, normative values, or reliability and validity are currently documented for the calf-raise tests. However, the calf-raise test still commonly used on the sports & exercise medicine settings and involves concentric-eccentric actions of the plantar-flexors in unipedal stance, with the total number of calf-raises completed documented as the primary outcome measure (Hébert-Losier, Schneiders, et al., 2009). Anatomy The triceps surae muscle-tendon

weeks and the posture gradually resolved. Current pain level is 8/10 with sharp burning sensation in the low back (P1= symptom location #1) that radiates down to the posterolateral right lower leg (P2= symptom location #2). The entire right lower leg also feels tingling often. Robert reports that the right lower leg can feel very sensitive at

Brief Description of patient: - Patient is a 27 year old male that presents with atraumatic knee pain in his left knee.

To investigate the signs of nerve root damage, the femoral stretch test and straight leg raise test is used to diagnose spinal nerve root back pain (Jackson & Simpson, 2006). These neurological tests help to reveal whether there are sensory, motor or reflex abnormalities in the body (Jackson & Simpson, 2006). If there is a suspicion of

1. Problem statement To establish whether FMS injury peril causes influence longitudinal competitive results in field athletes as well as the elite track. 2. Method The researchers examined the field athletes together with the elite track. There were one hundred and twenty-one participants. Every participant finished an FMS prior to the 2011 sports season. The researchers got the best competition results for the year from the participant's l performances for the previous year. The results difference

pointing backwards. Make exercise lifting hips off the floor to form a straight line between the knees and shoulders. Leave your hands and feet on the floor to support the weight of your body. Hold for at least 10 seconds. ABS Abdominal exercise flexes the muscles of the stomach region. Lying on your back, bend your knees and place your feet on the ground, crossing your arms across your chest. Contract your abdominal muscles to raise your shoulders about 6 inches off the ground, toward the knees. Hold
