Reproducibility of the Functional Movement Screen Test

Reproducibility of the Functional Movement Screen Test in the Normandy Amateur Rugby Player

The main objective of the study is to determine the inter-evaluator and intra-evaluator reproducibility of the FMS test as an evaluation tool in amateur rugby players.

The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the abilities of the FMS test as a predictive tool for detecting possible injuries during a sports season in amateur rugby players.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Locomotor Pain Disorder
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: functional movement screen

Detailed Description

Rugby is a very popular sport in France, since it has more than 300,000 dismissed. The 2023 World Cup will take place in France, and in view of the enthusiasm that is created around the "XV de France" team, there will be a great number of new players. Yet there are many injuries in this sport, despite the adaptations of the French Rugby Federation. The injuries of these amateur players will handicap their performance within their club (an injured player will be injured more easily in the future) and have a impact on their personal and professional life. With this in mind, it would be desirable to have a predictive tool for possible wounds. For this, Agullo et al. had in the previous study "Reproducibility of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test in the amateur Rugby player" (ID-RCB: 2018-A03490-55) selected this tool already evaluated in the context of prediction injuries in other sports (hockey or American football). The FMS offers an overall assessment of the subject, based on seven so-called movements fundamentals, combining mobility and stability, making it possible to assess the deficiencies of the individual; a prevention plan will then be adapted to the subject.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Experime; Hurdle steps Deep squats Inline lunges Shoulder Clearing Active straight leg raise Trunk stability pushup Rotary stability Spinal extension exam Spinal flexion exam	Other: functional movement screen; The volunteer subjects had to perform the FMS test at the request of the investigator, which is made up of seven movements: the squat, the crossing of the hurdle, the line lunge, the active elevation with the straight leg, a movement concerning the mobility of the shoulders, a rotational stability assessment movement and a core stability assessment movement.
