<strong>SFMA</strong> <strong>SCORE</strong> <strong>SHEETS</strong> <strong>AND</strong> <strong>FLOWCHARTS</strong><br />
We have devised a color system to help guide you through the <strong>SFMA</strong>. It starts as the same colors found on a traffic<br />
light—red, yellow and green. These work well for the top-tier tests. To help you navigate the breakout tests, we added<br />
blue and orange, which are described below. Remember, the colors are guides. The hierarchy and severity of DNs<br />
ultimately dictate your corrective exercise path.<br />
The score sheets use shapes to indicate direction.<br />
The Score Sheets<br />
The Top-Tier Score Sheet<br />
The top-tier score sheet uses a hexagon to indicate red or stop, a inverted triangle to indicate yellow or proceed<br />
with caution, and a circle to indicate green—move forward with a breakout.<br />
The Breakout Score Sheets<br />
The breakout shore sheets provide shapes to indicate findings for documentation. Refer to the flow charts and<br />
carefully consider the <strong>SFMA</strong> hierarchy to guide your breakout decisions.<br />
The Flowcharts<br />
The Top-Tier<br />
A red bar means STOP—you do not have to continue with a breakout. These patterns will be functional and nonpainful.<br />
Breaking these down will only expose imperfections and not major limitations.<br />
A yellow bar means proceed with caution—you must break out these patterns, but there is pain involved, so be<br />
careful. Use these breakout findings as indicators that your treatments are working, and re-test them frequently.<br />
A green bar means go—you need to break these patterns out to their termination and use corrective exercise and<br />
treatments appropriately.<br />
The Breakouts<br />
A red bar means you can STOP the breakout. Make note of the painful pattern and only continue that breakout<br />
if the flowchart indicates further action. All red box findings should be treated with medical modalities, not exercise<br />
progressions.<br />
A yellow bar means proceed with the breakout—you must continue the testing since you need more information<br />
before you can treat.<br />
A green bar means GO. You have your answer as to what is causing the dysfunction and should start appropriate<br />
treatments and exercise progressions if applicable.<br />
An orange bar is a significant finding, similar to a green bar, only in this case you can’t stop the breakout process.<br />
There may be more dysfunctions, so you should note the problem and continue with the breakout. Treat these with<br />
corrections as you would treat those with a green bar.<br />
A blue bar can indicate a normal finding and it will direct you to another flowchart or breakout. It can also be<br />
dependent on a previous finding. If there is a dysfunction involved, treat this as you would an orange or green bar.<br />
