Could we please stop wasting time and money on the FMS, and move on? I also thought "it worked!" when using it.A preliminary list of links to research on the effectiveness of the Functional Movement Screen for prediction and prevention of injury.
- Utility of FMS to understand injury incidence in sports: current perspectives (June 2018)
- Do Functional Movement Screen (FMS) composite scores predict subsequent injury? A systematic review with meta-analysis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28360142
- Evaluation of the Functional Movement Screen as an Injury Prediction Tool Among Active Adult Populations: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26502447
- Injury history, sex, and performance on the functional movement screen and Y balance test: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25761134
