This is an overview of the Corrective Exercises for the Hurdle Step of the FMS, further descriptions attached. The exercises are not necessarily executed in this order and there may be additional exercises that we use with our customers and athletes.

The hurdle step is designed to challenge the body's proper stride mechanics during a stepping motion. The movement requires proper coordination and stability between the hips and torso during the stepping motion as well as single leg stance stability. The hurdle step assesses bilateral functional mobility and stability of the hips, knees and ankles.

Performing the hurdle step test requires stanceleg stability of the ankle, knee and hip
as well as maximal closed-kinetic chain extension of the hip. The hurdle step also
requires step-leg open-kinetic chain dorsiflexion of the ankle and flexion of the knee and hip. In addition, the subject must also display adequate balance because the test imposes a need for dynamic stability.
