Evaluation of the functional movement screen (FMS) in identifying active females who are prone to injury. A systematic review
Key Points
- The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) was identified to be the most popular field-based injury screening tool for identifying at-risk athletes
- It could not identify male athletes who are prone to injury
- For female athletes, concerns remain regarding the FMS predictive validity due to the poor and contradictory nature of the available literature.
- Further well-established studies involving only females are needed to eliminate sex bias in the FMS literature
- Cutoff values higher than 14 increase the sensitivity of the FMS in identifying at-risk females
