“…Movement evaluations and preparticipation screens are being used and investigated by scientists and practitioners from across the world (3,8,29). However, it is important to appreciate the assumptions that are made when individuals are evaluated solely by visual observation (the FMS is only one such application).…”

Frost, DM, Beach, TAC, Callaghan, JP, and McGill, SM. FMS scores change with performers' knowledge of the grading criteria-Are general whole-body movement screens capturing "dysfunction"? J Strength Cond Res 29(11): 3037-3044, 2015-Deficits in joint mobility and stability could certainly impact individuals' Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores; however, it is also plausible that the movement patterns observed are influenced by the performers' knowledge of the grading criteria. Twenty-one firefighters volunteered to participate, and their FMS scores were graded before and immediately after receiving knowledge of the movement patterns required to achieve a perfect score on the FMS. Standardized verbal instructions were used to administer both screens, and the participants were not provided with any coaching or feedback. Time-synchronized sagittal and frontal plane videos were used to grade the FMS. The firefighters significantly (p , 0.001) improved their FMS scores from 14.1 (1.8) to 16.7 (1.9) when provided with knowledge pertaining to the specific grading criteria. Significant improvements (p , 0.05) were also noted in the deep squat (1.4 [0.7]-2.0 [0.6]), hurdle step (2.1 [0.4]-2.4 [0.5]), in-line lunge (2.1 [0.4]-2.7 [0.5]), and shoulder mobility (1.8 [0.8]-2.4 [0.7]) tests. Because a knowledge of a task's grading criteria can alter a general whole-body movement screen score, FMS or otherwise, observed changes may not solely reflect "dysfunction." The instant that individuals are provided with coaching and feedback regarding their performance on a particular task, the task may lose its utility to evaluate the transfer of training or predict musculoskeletal injury risk.

“…However, joint flexibility and range of motion are often discordant with physical endurance, and when not conditioned properly, this results in injury. 76,77 High-intensity functional training (HIT) programs have been rapidly expanding throughout all communities due to the benefits seen in body composition and strength. Even though advantages in health and wellness may be gained through these activities, it is imperative that novice athletes enroll in a well-organized and monitored introductory program to avoid injury and time away from work.…”

Surgeons face hazardous working conditions due to ergonomic deficiencies found throughout the operating room. More than 80% of surgeons have succumbed to a work-related injury or illness as a consequence of sustaining awkward or static positions throughout lengthy operations over a career. While the focus of the procedure is directed to the patient, there is little concurrent regard for proper posture or spinal stability. Even when symptoms of discomfort are experienced, they are often ignored. This results in decreased production and may ultimately threaten surgical careers. Surgeons are often unaware of recommendations or guidelines designed to improve their comfort while operating. Furthermore, there is a significant lack of any formal ergonomic education, especially for minimally invasive procedures. Several modifiable risk factors can be adjusted in the operating room to provide a safer working environment. In addition, strengthening, stability, and exercise programs directed by a trained therapist may be employed to improve the surgeon's musculoskeletal health.

“…The addition of speed and load to a task changes the movement pattern and alters the tissues being stressed, which may increase injury risk and negatively impact performance. Accordingly appropriate speed, load, and repetition are essential components to assess movement competency and predict injury risk and human performance in those in physically demanding occupations/ professions (41). Thus new research and practical solutions to validate and effectively improve functional movement assessment implementation and reduce MSKI risk are of paramount importance.…”

Prevention of musculoskeletal injuries (MSKI) is critical in both civilian and military populations to enhance physical performance, optimize health, and minimize health care expenses. Developing a more unified approach through addressing identified movement impairments could result in improved dynamic balance, trunk stability, and functional movement quality while potentially minimizing the risk of incurring such injuries. Although the evidence supporting the utility of injury prediction and return-to-activity readiness screening tools is encouraging, considerable additional research is needed regarding improving sensitivity, specificity, and outcomes, and especially the implementation challenges and barriers in a military setting. If selected current functional movement assessments can be administered in an efficient and cost-effective manner, utilization of the existing tools may be a beneficial first step in decreasing the burden of MSKI, with a subsequent focus on secondary and tertiary prevention via further assessments on those with prior injury history.
