functional movement screen (FMS)
The Functional Movement Screen is a tool used to evaluate an individuals risk of injury, as well as performance-limiting movement patterns. FMS does this by assessing asymmetries or imbalances by taking an individual through a series of specific movements.
FMS is a beneficial assessment tool to:
-
Recognize movement patterns that support work, sports and daily activities.
-
Understand the true relationship that movement patterns play in our health and fitness goals.
-
Explain the role of mobility, motor control, and functional patterns in fundamental movement.
-
Identify basic movement asymmetries that may lead to increase injury risk.
