DARI FMA

Overall Scoring:

• Power Score: Determined primarily by the height of jumps (bilateral and unilateral). The green zone is 750+ points.
• Strength Score: Determined primarily by depths of squats (bilateral and unilateral). The green zone is 750+ points.
• Dysfunction Score: Pulls key metrics from unilateral squat asymmetries, landing valgus, kinetic chaining, and the balance performance. The green zone is less than 100.
• Vulnerability Score: Measures ever movement against standardized norms and identifies compensation patterns that could lead to soft tissue injury. Green is 50 and below, yellow is 51-83, red is 83+.
  1. The Vulnerability Score has a goal of being low, the closer to zero, the better.
  2. Every movement has target ranges associated with the primary plane movement. If those target ranges are met, the individual is given a zero for their score. The further away from those targets, the more more points that individual receives.
  3. Any primary plane deviations are also scored in a similar fashion.
  4. Then force production is scored similarly as well. If the individual produces ideal forces, they receive a zero. If they are above or below those targets they have points scored against them. The pattern of force is also scored, or the kinetic chaining, in the same manner.
  5. Once all these aspects of the movements are scored they are aggregated into the Vulnerability Score.

Body Map:

The heat maps represent a range of motion asymmetry greater than 5° for certain movements indicated below. The Asymmetries section next to the body map provide the visual as a statement.:

• Shoulders: Shoulder Abduction and/or Shoulder Internal/External Rotation
• Legs: Unilateral Squats and/or Forward Lunges
• Spine: Trunk Rotation

Prime Muscle Movers:

1. Identification of the Primary Muscle Movers comes from the peak torque produced during the Single Leg Jumps.
2. That instance of peak torque has a joint angle associated with it.
3. Each joint has a series of muscles that act as primary movers. Based on historical research, there is a range where each muscle is most active through a range of motion.
4. The instance of peak torque fits is matched to the range of motion associated with one of the primary movers.
5. The goal primary mover is the muscle listed first under each joint and prioritized to the least ideal in order.

Performance Data:

• All of the Primary Performance Data is listed at the bottom of the FMA Overview Page
• The Index column in Jump and Squat Performance is a normalization value. An Index of 1.00 is average.
• For the jumps, the index is relative to the individual’s bodyweight. The heavier a person is and the higher they jump, the Index will go up.
• For the Squats, the index is relative to the individual’s height. The taller a person is, the deeper they should be able to squat. The deeper someone squats compared to their height, the higher the Index score.
