The Functional Movement Screen is ascreening instrument that helps determine the potential of injury risk in an individual by evaluating selective fundamental movement patterns.
To establish a comparison of potential injury risk in individuals who exercise versus those who do not exercise, using the FMS.
Compare each exercise between inactive and active individuals.
We evaluated two groups of individuals i.e.; Group A (Active Individuals) and Group B (Inactive Individuals). Each group consisted of 75 individuals each. All individuals were between the age of 20–40 years with no recent history (<6 weeks) of injuries. All participants performed all 7 exercises and were scored accordingly.
The Inactive individuals group has a higher potential of injury risk as compared to the active individuals group. FMS can be used by physiotherapist and to identify those with injury risk, prescribe a program and reduce the potential of injury. Out of 150 subjects 105 subjects had a high risk of injuries whereas 45 subjects have no risk of injuries.
