Self Movement Screen

Gray talks about how to do a self movement screen. It can be done and assesed by a Pass or Fail marking scheme. It covers 5 important movement patterns, which are the Deep Squat, In-Line Lunge, Hurdle Step, Rotation, and Active Straight Leg Raise.

Not sure how he got a video of me, but I'm the guy jumping @ :08! Wow! That was me back in college. I'd love to know who this is and how he got a vid of me???

I'm a personal trainer and use the standard test kit with all of my clients.  I'm going to try the self test fms as I am currently starting my training program for outrigger canoeing. Thanks Grey!

Yes, both movements are in the saggital plane but challenge your ability to stabilize in the frontal plane.

IN line lange: sagital plane

Hurdle Step: sagital plane

[Kristján Ómar Björnsson]

What do you mean? Seated rotation is obviously in the transverse plane. Also, the In-line lunge and the Hurdle step tell you something about the individual's frontal plane stability.

Just wondering why they only look at the saggital plane? Where is the frontal or transverse planes?

@jamardjk: Cook's book (Athletic Body in Balance) gives programs to follow if you fail.

If you fail what to do to improve?

The book Movement is great.
