Objective
[edit | edit source]
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a tool used to identify asymmetries which result in functional movement deficiencies. The FMS aims to identify imbalances in mobility and stability during 7 fundamental movement patterns. Once these deficiencies have been identified through the FMS screen, a program of corrective exercises is then developed with the goal of preventing musculoskeletal injuries. The FMS consists of 7 movement patterns which require mobility and stability: Deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, active straight-leg raise, trunk stability push-up, and shoulder mobility. The 7 movement patterns are scored from 0-3 points, with the sum creating a score ranging from 0-21 points.[edit | edit source]

The intended population of the FMS screen varies in the literature. It has been used on young, active individuals to elite, collegiate and professional athletes, as well as those in the military and firefighters. It has also been used on middle-age individuals.
