Functional movement analysis
Every chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Due to dysfunctions, asymmetries, and restrictions in the range of motion, many people suffer from complaints in the passive and/or active musculoskeletal system, increasing the risk of injury or premature wear and tear.
In the unit on functional movement analysis, participants learn why everyday routines, poor training, or previous injuries affect mobility, stability, and connective tissue. With the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), participants learn a tool to uncover existing deficits, correct them, and protect clients from injuries and overuse in the long term. The Functional Movement Screen encompasses fundamental movement patterns, motor control within movement patterns, and the execution of basic, non-sport-specific movements. This movement test assesses mobility and stability in the ankle, knee, hip, shoulder joints, and spine, as well as neuromuscular control. The FMS includes 7 fundamental movement patterns that allow for the detection of weaknesses, imbalances, asymmetries, and limitations.
In the practical part, the FMS is finally performed and evaluated by everyone. This process not only uncovers potential deficits but also allows participants to train their eye by mutually assessing each other. Finally, based on the test results, it is important to identify weaknesses, identify corrective patterns, and integrate them into a targeted training cycle.
