Is the algorithm still the same? TSPU before RS?
FMS 2/18/2020 8:09:47 PM
The order of the algorithm does not change from the current priorities. This means that the RS precedes TSPU. The point that Dr. Kiesel is making is that the new RS screen protocol will identify a score of 1 more precisely and more often than it did in the past. So now with this change in the RS screen, this can identify individuals who could benefit from corrective strategies in RS before addressing a score of 1 in TSPU. And now addressing the corrective priorities in this order can create a better opportunity for improvements in both patterns.

Dr Kiesel mentioned those papers for ankle dorsiflexion would be or are out. Can I be given some references (Titles, Journals they are in) - so I can find them and read them? Thanks.

To see and learn the new modifications, does this mean I have to buy the FMS level 1 course again? How can I find the modifications without going that route?

Hey! In the SFMA at the SLST Breakout we also use the Quadruped Diagonal Test, I assume there is no former Change! Is this rigth?
