WHAT IS THE FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREEN?
-
The FMS is a total body movement based assessment that it used to identify range of motion, flexibility, strength, balance and coordination deficits.
-
The FMS identifies the factors that predispose individuals to a higher likelihood of injury, allowing our Physical Therapists to focus on those spots of weakness.
-
It consists of seven movements that are observed and analyzed by the examiner.
-
Each movement is given a score from 0-3, with 0 being the lowest and 3 being the highest obtainable score.
-
Studies have shown individuals that score below a 14, are significantly more vulnerable to injury.
