“…This screening procedure was based on two functional tests, the Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT) [23], and a modified version of the Ranger Test (MRT) [24]. The UQYBT is a kinematic assessment of upper quadrant mobility, stability, and strength, that has been validated to be predictive for training-related injuries [25]. Cosio-Lima et al reported that a low composite UQYBT score was a risk factor for general injuries in a male population of coast guard trainees [25].…”

The authors concluded that low composite scores might be related to lack of flexibility or insufficient muscular strength with which to stabilize their body while moving [25].…”

BackgroundWorldwide, there is a high attrition rate, or dropout rate, from combat in trained soldiers, mainly due to musculoskeletal injuries. This study aimed to determine whether the use of an upper limb stability test, the Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT), and a modified version of the Ranger Test (MRT) that included a lower limb step-up endurance test, could predict attrition from combat service in female infantry soldiers.Material/MethodsIn 2015, a group of 167 newly recruited female light infantry soldiers were evaluated using the UQYBT and the MRT. Data regarding attrition from combat service were collected in 2017, 18 months after screening. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the predictive effect of body mass index (BMI), UQYBT, and MRT scores on attrition from combat service.ResultsFifty-three female soldiers (31.7%) dropped out of combat service during the 18 months following recruitment. The MRT score was a significant predictor of attrition, with each additional incremental increase in the MRT score reducing the attrition rate by 6.8% (OR=0.934; 95% CI, 0.895–0.975). A cutoff MRT score of 12 increments predicted attrition with 73.7% sensitivity and 50.9% specificity. The UQYBT scores and BMI were not significant predictors.ConclusionsThe use of the MRT during military training, was a predictive screening method to predict attrition from combat service in Israeli female infantry soldiers. Further studies are required to evaluate the use of the MRT in other groups of women in the military.

“…Since this systematic review and meta-analysis was published, another 9 studies have been published examining the association between the FMS composite score and injury. 44 , 46 , 58 , 59 , 64 , 65 , 72 , 112 , 113 Two of the studies in rugby union players reported a significant association; 58 , 72 the other 7 supported the conclusion of Moran et al 20 Tee et al 72 found significantly lower FMS composite score in professional rugby union players who had a subsequent injury compared to those who did not sustain an injury. Duke et al 58 reported significant OR between FMS composite score ≤14 vs >14 and any injury for the first half (OR =10.42 [95% confidence interval {CI}: 1.28–84.75]) and second half (OR =4.97 [95% CI: 1.02–24.19]) of the season.…”

The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a popular movement screen used by rehabilitation, as well as strength and conditioning, professionals. The FMS, like other movement screens, identifies movement dysfunction in those at risk of, but not currently experiencing, signs or symptoms of a musculoskeletal injury. Seven movement patterns comprise the FMS, which was designed to screen fundamental movement requiring a balance between stability and mobility. The 7 movement patterns are summed to a composite FMS score. For an instrument to have wide applicability and acceptability, there must be high levels of reliability, validity, and accuracy. The FMS is certainly a reliable tool, and can be consistently scored within and between raters. Although the FMS has high face and content validity, the criterion validity (discriminant and convergent) is low. Additionally, the FMS does not appear to be studying a single construct, challenging the use of the summed composite FMS score. The accuracy of the FMS in screening for injury is also suspect, with low sensitivity in almost all studies, although specificity is higher. Finally, within the FMS literature, the concepts of prediction and association are conflated, combined with flawed cohort studies, leading to questions about the efficacy of the FMS to screen for injury. Future research on the use of the FMS, either the composite score or the individual movement patterns, to screen for injury or injury risk in adequately powered, well-designed studies are required to determine if the FMS is appropriate for use as a movement screen.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between strength, flexibility, and field tests of upper extremity in healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: Fifty healthy individuals (25 women, 25 men) volunteered in the study. The physical and clinical characteristics of the participants were questioned using an evaluation form. Muscle strength was measured using a hand dynamometer. Flexibility was measured with a tape. The Y balance test (YBT) and medicine ball throwing were used as upper extremity field tests. Pearson and Spearman correlation analyzes were used to determine the relationship between the parameters. Results: There was a moderate correlation between medicine ball throwing and YBT total scores (r=0.507, p<0.01). It was revealed that strength and flexibility of the upper extremity were related to YBT scores (p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively). Conclusions: For healthy individuals, there are relations between strength, flexibility and field tests. Increased strength and reduced flexibility for the upper extremity increases physical performance and balance.
