The Functional Movement Screen (Fms) Is a Pre-Participation Screening Tool Comprising 7 Individual Tests for Which Both Individual Scores and an Overall Score Are Given.

The FMS Seems to Have Some Degree of Predictive Ability for Identifying Athletes Who Are at an Increased Risk of Injury. However, a Poor Score on the FMS Does Not Preclude Athletes From Competing at the Highest Level Nor Does It Differentiate Between Athletes of Differing Abilities.
