Functional Movement Screen Detected Asymmetry & Normative Values Among College-Aged Students

# Background The Functional Movement Screen (FMS™) is a popular test used by sports medicine professionals to identify dysfunctional movement patterns by analyzing mobility and stability during prescribed movements. Although the FMS™ has been a popular topic of research in recent years, normative d...
