UPSI Strength & Conditioning Conference 2020 (UPSISC2020)
INVITED SPEAKER:
FMS-Movement Screening
The intent of Functional Movement Screen (FMS) was to create a more proactive approach when dealing with movement dysfunction, we wanted to detect movement dysfunction and intervene as soon as possible. FMS was formed in 2001 to improve the overall scope of performance, fitness, rehabilitation and management of injury risk in active individuals. It was the intent of the founders of FMS to provide a better system for sports medicine, fitness and strength and conditioning professionals to identify movement dysfunction as well as improve communication between the professions. This process began in the mid-90s with Gray knowing that in order to create the most holistic approach to functional rehabilitation you must first observe fundamental movement patterns. It was during this process that he began to formulate a systematic way of assessing movement patterns, which was the origin of what is now the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). However, this assessment process was designed for patients or individuals who were already in pain, so the goal was then to create a screening process that would allow anyone dealing with active individuals to easily set a baseline of fundamental movements. Once the fundamental movements were observed better decisions could be made on how to better enhance the individual’s workout or training plan.
