Dynamic Movement Assessment™ (DMA™) and Functional Movement Screening™ (FMS™) are tools to predict the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in individuals who practice physical activities. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the association of DMA™ and FMS™ with the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, in different physical activities, categorizing by analysis. A research without language or time filters was carried out in November 2016 in MEDLINE, Google Scholar, SciELO, SCOPUS, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL and BVS databases using the keywords: "injury prediction", "injury risk", "sensitivity", "specificity", "functional movement screening", and "dynamic movement assessment". Prospective studies that analyzed the association between DMA™ and FMS™ with the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in physical activities were included. The data extracted from the studies were: participant`s profile, sample size, injury`s classification criteria, follow-up time, and the results presented, subdivided by the type of statistical analysis. The risk of bias was performed with Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort studies. No study with DMA™ was found. A total of 20 FMS™ studies analyzing one or more of the following indicators were included: diagnostic accuracy (PPV, NPV and AUC), odds ratios (OR) or relative risk (RR). FMS™ showed a sensitivity=12 to 99%; specificity=38 to 97%; PPV=25 to 91%; NPV=28 to 85%; AUC=0.42 to 0.68; OR=0.53 to 54.5; and RR=0.16-5.44. The FMS™ has proven to be a predictor of musculoskeletal injuries. However, due to methodological limitations, its indiscriminate usage should be avoided.
