On appraisal , the MCS , M4-MS , and SIMS seem to provide the most practical value for assessing movement quality as they provide the strongest reports of developmental rigor and an identifiable evidence base .
In addition , considering the evidence provided , these tools may have the strongest potential for identifying performance capabilities and guiding exercise prescription in athletic and sport-specific population

The Functional Movement Screen in the Prediction of Injury in Adolescent Cricket Pace Bowlers: An Observational Study.
CONTEXT The Functional Movement Screen ( FMS ) has been found to be a valid preparticipation screening tool in the prediction of injury among various athletes in different sports . The validity thereof in the prediction of injury among adolescent cricketers is yet to be established . OBJECTIVE To determine if a preseason FMS total score is a valid predictor of in-season injury among adolescent pace bowlers . DESIGN Prospect i ve observational quantitative study . SETTING Bowlers performed the FMS before the start of the season . Injury incidence was monitored monthly throughout the season . The student t test and Fisher 's exact test were used to compare the FMS scores of the injured and noninjured bowlers as well as the injured and noninjured bowlers who scored ≤ 14 . PARTICIPANTS 27 injury-free , male , adolescent pace bowlers . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The FMS ( scoring criteria and score sheet ) and st and ardized self-administered injury question naire . RESULTS There was no difference between the noninjured group ( 16.55 ± 2.57 ) and the injured ( 16.1 ± 2.07 ) group in terms of FMS scores . There was no significant difference between injured and noninjured bowlers who scored ≤ 14 . A total FMS score of 14 does not provide the sensitivity needed to assess injury risk among adolescent pace bowlers and no other accurate cut-off score could be calculated . CONCLUSION Preseason observed total FMS score is a poor predictor of in-season injury among adolescent pace bowlers . Further research should be conducted to determine if a specific FMS test will be a more valid predictor of injury
