“…The prerequisite for validity is reliability; screening tests must be highly reliable in order to be valid to predict lower quarter injuries. Three common screening tools demonstrate good interrater reliability, including the Y-balance test (YBT) (ICC 0.85-0.93 +/-2.0-3.5 cm) 5 the Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS™) (ICC 0.843), 6 and the Single Leg Hop (SLH) test (ICC 0.97 +/-5.0-5.3 cm). 7 The Y-balance test involves standing on one leg and reaching three directions with the non-stance leg.…”

Background: Lower quarter injuries account for more than 50% of all injuries in collegiate athletics. Neuromuscular screening tests could potentially identify athletes who are at risk for sustaining an injury. While previous research has studied individual tests, the authors of this paper are unaware of any study that has compared diagnostic accuracy of multiple neuromuscular screening tests within one study cohort. Hypothesis/Purpose:The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of three common neuromuscular screening tests to predict the occurrence of a lower quarter injury in female collegiate volleyball and basketball players. Study Design: Prospective CohortMethods: Thirty-five subjects underwent a pre-season screening by performing the Y-balance test, the Functional Movement Screen™, and Single Leg Hop test. Data were collected on lower quarter injury incidence, lost practice time, and lost competition time among subjects throughout the course of one season. Receiver operating characteristics curves were plotted and area under the curve was calculated to assess the relationship between lower extremity injury incidence and the scores of the functional tests. Results:Lost-time injuries occurred in 11 athletes (31.4%), of whom, six athletes (17.1%) lost 50 hours or greater. There were no significant relationships between occurrence of a lost-time lower extremity injury and scores on any of the three tests. Positive and negative likelihood ratios all included the value of 1.0. Conclusions:Although reliable, the screening tests under study did not appear to retain adequate validity to predict lower quarter injury risk within these female collegiate athletes. Level of Evidence: Level 2b

“…The Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS™; Functional Movement Systems™, www.Func tionalMovement.com) is one of these tools, and is designed for use with healthy individuals. The FMS™ has demonstrated acceptable reliability [14][15][16] and is often utilized as part of a comprehensive physical performance assessment. [17][18][19][20][21] However, most patients presenting to a physical therapy clinic are already in pain, and pain has been shown to have deleterious effects on movement patterns.…”

Background/Purpose: The Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) is a clinical model used to assist diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders by identifying dysfunctions in movement patterns. Based on the premise that addressing movement dysfunction is associated with an improvement in patient outcomes, the validity of the SFMA would be strengthened by observed improvement in self-reported function being associated with change in movement patterns. The purpose of this study was to explore the validity of the SFMA by determining if a correlation exists between a change in self-reported outcome measures and attributes of the assessment. Methods: Eighty-five clinical subjects (20.3 ± 1.6 years) were administered the Patient-Specific Functional Scale and one of four region-specific outcome measures followed by the SFMA top-tier movements. When deemed appropriate for discharge or following six weeks of therapy by an independent physical therapist, each subject repeated the outcome measures and was re-evaluated on the top-tier tests by the same initial assessor who was blinded to the subject's self-reported outcomes. Correlations between changes in outcome measures, number of painful movements and measures of movement quality (number of dysfunctional movements and criterion scores) were calculated with Spearman rank correlation coefficients. Subjects were analyzed as a consolidated group and by each region based on primary complaint. Results: Fair to good positive correlations between improvements in self-reported outcomes and decreases in the number of painful patterns were noted for the complete dataset and for those with shoulder girdle and lumbopelvic complaints (r s = 0.28, 0.52, and 0.41, respectively). Subjects with lumbopelvic complaints demonstrated fair positive correlations with improvements in self-reported outcomes and decreases in the number of dysfunctional patterns (r s = 0.41 and 0.46). No correlations between changes in outcome measures and criterion score were observed. Conclusion: Improvements in self-reported outcome measures were associated with fewer painful movement patterns of the SFMA. Improvements in self-reported function were not related to changes in movement quality, except for subjects presenting with lumbopelvic complaints.

“…Kraus et al [16] found that the FMS is reliable if the administrators are adequately educated and experienced in screen assessment. A review of the literature by Cuchna et al confirmed the concordance of the test administrators [10]. Additionally, Minick et al [25] and Bonazza et al [1] proved that only some of the trials, such as deep squat, can be assessed by test administrators who have different levels of expertise.…”

SummaryIntroduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate whether our own twelve-week Sensorimotor Exercise Programme (SEP) affected FMS results in canoe slalom athletes. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a tool for detecting asymmetries and movement range limitations in order to prevent sport injuries. The screen evaluates mobility and stability in seven fundamental movement patterns.Material and methods: The study population consisted of 16 athletes from the Canoe Slalom National Team of Poland who competed in three sports categories: kayak single, canoe single, canoe double. The athletes, 13 men and 3 women, undertook the FMS screen twice before the starting season. Between the first and the second screen the athletes undertook a twelve-week long sensorimotor training programme.Results: The result analysis showed a statistically significant difference in FMS results. The mean FMS screen result after twelve weeks of training increased from 16.6 points to 19.6 points.Conclusions: An adequately designed SEP can lead to an improvement in athlete movement patterns. The FMS screen allows for assessment of changes in athlete movement patterns after twelve weeks of SEP training.
