Background Musculoskeletal health problems are one of the greatest healthcare expenses in the United States but patient-driven screening procedures to detect risk factors do not exist. Hypothesis/Purpose The purpose was to establish the inter-rater reliability of the Symmio Self-Screen application in untrained individuals and to investigate its accuracy to detect MSK risk factors such as pain with movement, movement dysfunction, and decreased dynamic balance. Study Design Cross-Sectional Methods Eighty (42 male, 38 female) healthy individuals mean age 26.5 ± 9.4 participated in the study. The inter-rater reliability of Symmio application was established by comparing self-screen scores from untrained subjects with the results simultaneously determined by a trained healthcare provider. Each subject was evaluated for pain with movement, movement dysfunction, and deficits in dynamic balance by two trained evaluators who were blinded to the Symmio results. The validity of Symmio was determined by comparing self-screen performance dichotomized as pass or fail with the reference standard of pain with movement, failure on the Functional Movement Screen™, and asymmetry on the Y Balance Test-Lower Quarter™ using three separate 2x2 contingency tables. Results The mean Cohen’s kappa coefficient was 0.68 (95% CI, 0.47-0.87) and the absolute agreement was 89% between self-assessment of subjects and the observation of a trained healthcare provider. There were significant associations for the presence of pain with movement (p=0.003), movement dysfunction (p=0.001), and dynamic balance deficits (p=0.003) relative to poor Symmio performance. The accuracy of Symmio to identify pain with movement, movement dysfunction, and dynamic balance deficits were 0.74 (95% CI, 0.63-0.83), 0.73 (95% CI, 0.62-0.82), and 0.69 (95% CI, 0.57-0.79), respectively. Conclusions The Symmio Self-Screen application is a reliable and feasible screening tool that can be used to identify MSK risk factors. Level of Evidence Level 2

“…A recent study proposes the Arm Care Screen (ACS) as a new tool based on the concepts of the SFMA in high school coaches and investigated intra-rater and inter-rater reliability when administered by high school baseball coaches in a sample of baseball players. The ACS provides coaches with a tool to track changes in physical function throughout the season so that exercise intervention and/or further evaluation can be recommended prior to the onset of injury [38]. Only two studies (a case report and a case series) highlighted the usefulness of SFMA in the evaluation of painful athletes underlying how SFMA helps identifying problems related to mobility and stability in certain specific patterns of movement [35,39].…”

Introduction: The Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) is a functional movement assessment method to observe movement restrictions in individuals with known musculoskeletal disorders, although it has also been used to evaluate healthy athletes of different sports. Aim: The present paper aimed to evaluate the applicability of SFMA in a clinical setting and to verify whether a student can correctly perform it. Methods: An introductory and explanatory email was sent to the subjects, containing the instructions needed to produce a video with SFMA evaluation movements. SFMA methodology was then used to analyze the received videos. The results between interobserver and intraobserver agreement were compared to the literature, considered the gold standard methods. Results: Twenty-eight subjects (17.71 ± 1.96 years aged) were rated. The functional non-painful scenario (FN) has been assigned more frequently by all raters. The student’s intra-rater reliability proved to be moderate (Kappa coefficient 0.49). Results for inter-rater reliability showed that the reliability degree between the senior physiotherapist and student before and after their educational path is good (Kappa coefficient 0.60 and 0.62, respectively). Conclusions: The results of this study showed SFMA intra-rater reliability to be moderate, while inter-rater reliability can be considered good. These characteristics make it a valuable tool for sport’s needs, even when used by students.

“…O acompanhamento longitudinal dos atletas por meio de avaliações periódicas é uma das formas de identificar déficits físicos que possam ser abordados no preparo físico, contribuindo assim para o gerenciamento do risco de lesões. É importante que tais avaliações sejam rápidas de se realizar em diferentes ambientes, proporcionando assim seu segmento ao longo do tempo (Matsel et al, 2021). Uma variável indispensável no futebol é a agilidade, definida como uma somatória de características que englobam boa coordenação de membros inferiores, equilíbrio, tempo de reação apropriado, ritmo variado e precisão (Vretaros.…”

Atletas de futebol estão expostos a grandes demandas físicas que podem predispor a lesões quando superam as capacidades. A avaliação de diferentes valências físicas, não apenas de membros inferiores, é importante para acompanhamento destes atletas. O acompanhamento longitudinal dos atletas por meio de avaliações periódicas é uma das formas de identificar déficits físicos que possam ser abordados no preparo físico, contribuindo assim para o gerenciamento do risco de lesões. Variáveis indispensáveis para a prática do futebol como potência muscular, agilidade e flexibilidade foram avaliadas. Compreender como os resultados dos testes físicos se relacionam contribui para a seleção e interpretação de seus resultados. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar possíveis correlações entre os testes físicos que avaliam flexibilidade global, agilidade e desempenho muscular, incluindo membros superiores e tronco, em atletas de futebol juvenil. Foram avaliados 28 atletas do sexo masculino entre 16 e 20 anos. Foram coletados dados antropométricos, tempo de treinamento e dominância e foi realizada familiarização dos testes com os atletas anteriormente à coleta dos dados. Foram realizados o Flexiteste adaptado para avaliar a flexibilidade, teste Shuttle-run com bola para a agilidade, os testes Push-up e de abdominal Sit-up para desempenho muscular de membros superiores e tronco e Stand long jump test e Two Hand medicine ball put adaptado para a potência muscular de membros inferiores e superiores. Houve correlação significativa apenas entre desempenho muscular de tronco e membros superiores, sem correlação significativa para os demais testes. Dessa forma, sugere-se que ao avaliar e acompanhar a capacidade física de atletas de futebol juvenil, o teste de abdominal sit-up poderia ser suprimido, visto que apresenta correlação com os resultados do teste de Push-up. Os demais testes não apresentam correlação e, portanto, não poderiam ser substituídos por outros aqui investigados.
