Quick takeaways
- FMS limitations in predicting injuries under load led to new movement assessments focusing on neural tension, rotations, and muscular recruitment patterns.
- Biomechanical approach in the new movement assessment course targets specific areas like hip, spine, shoulder, knee, and gait for effective interventions.
Deep dives
Evolution of Movement Assessment Process
Over the years, the host developed a movement assessment process that evolved from initial experiences with the Functional Movement Screen (FMS). The FMS, a popular seven-move assessment, aimed to predict movement under load, suggesting corrective exercise based on individual scores. However, data over the years revealed limitations in predicting injuries solely based on the FMS results, particularly due to differences in movement under load compared to unloaded assessments.
