    Evening all,
    This isn't something that is used too widely in the UK i don't think so looking for a bit of input from our American friends about the functional movement screen. The Biomechanics summer school this year was all about function and this was mentioned a few times. I remember coming across it a few years ago and thought it might be another fad thing that would come and go, but i see some articles in google scholar about it. So do folks think this is something thats worth exploring further? or not

    Any advice/opinion greatly appreciated
    cheers
    JB

    It might help! This is what i said:Just had an interesting question from BB member Luke about the Functional Movement Screen FMS. Is anyone using it, and with what success? is it marketing hype, or does it have real merit in screening athletes for injury. Respected sports medicine commentator Paul Ingraham from Vancouver Canada, suspects the former may be the case and comments "I think the marketing cart may be in front of the research horse." his full discussion can be read here:http://saveyourself.ca/articles/functional-movement-screen.php
    The FMS suffers from a strong case of logical structuralism. While the logic is strong, unfortunately the premises that undergird the argument are largely untested. As indicated, it is a 'reliable' tool, but its validity to predict injury or performance is extremely weak. one recent study actually showed an inverted U shape prediction, with the 'best movers' according to FMS scoring having more injuries!! most of the other research is retrospective and in very specific populations (NFL). from a practical/clinical perspective, some of the 'tests' make it very hard for an inexperienced practitioner to obtain much useful prescriptive information, ie: you score low on this test - but what does that mean??!! Experienced practitioners/professionals may be able to do something with this information, but then they probably wouldn't need the FMS in the first place.

    Cheers Simon.
    I did a (very) wee bit of searching about google and it looked to me like it was being used as an assessment tool and not a screening tool and as we know there is a difference. I like the idea of it in terms of its simplicity but wonder, if it was just another paradigm for folk to hang their hat on.
    Cheers

    Hi

    All my clinic uses this with one of the junior elite squads we deal with and use it with Phyiso & Podiatry.

    There is good evidence to show that if they are not at a certain level they are at greatly increased risk of injury.

    It certainly highlights areas where there is a lack and strength especially in the core and glutes/hips.

    Very little actual Ankle/Foot Function testing in the screen though. I have modified it to add some basic Pod tests.

    Hiya
    What basic pod tests have you added? And have you got any links to this good evidence?
    Cheers

    My main concern is how does it improve patient care? It doesn't. It is not diagnostic, it is a relative predictor of the potential for injury and there is no high-level evidence to support it. It essentially assesses "well" participants in sports.

    The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) has multiple problems, in my view. One is the study design of nearly all intervention FMS research lacks control groups. Without a control group, it's impossible to tell if the FMS worked. The only such published study which has a control group is this one: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21921825
    This study found that in the *control group* 85% of the FMS scores changed significantly pre-post, whereas the intervention group FMS scores did not significantly change.

    Another problem is that all FMS studies to date which have reported sensitivity results (ability of the FMS to detect individual injury) have found consistently low marks. The highest I've seen in the lit is .58, with some below .40. The FMS misses the mark in detecting injury 42%-60% of the time. A screening tool which performs this poorly is not an effective screening tool ;)

    I've published a review article on the FMS in an online, peer-reviewed report. I can't post it on Podiatry Arena yet, as the publisher copyright has not expired. When the copyright expires, I'll add it to this thread.

    Great comments Guy and thank you. I'd enjoy reading your review article in the future.

    I'd also enjoy your thoughts on the above study. It appears they sought to prove inter-rater reliability, which means less than proving their tests have a predictive value of injury as proposed or any predictive value diagnostically, correct?

    Did Gary Cook not come up with the concept of the FMS in the first place?
    Can't see anything from him being too balanced.
