A functional movement screen (FMS) is an assessment tool used to identify movement patterns and potential limitations or imbalances within individuals. It consists of a series of functional tests designed to gauge mobility, stability, and overall physical performance. The FMS detects movement deficiencies that could lead to increased injury risk, allowing trainers or healthcare providers to design targeted interventions for improvement. Ultimately, the Functional Movement Screen aims to ensure safe and effective movement patterns and enhance physical function in various populations.
