Functional movement screen test: A reliable screening test for young elite ice hockey players

摘要: Abstract Objectives To determine inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test among young elite hockey players. Design Reliability study. Setting Inter-rater was evaluated by two raters in field. All performances were videotaped. Two other videos once then again 6 weeks later to reliability. A weighted kappa statistic used analyze each FMS sub-test, while an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) calculated for total score. Participants Twenty-eight male players aged 13–16. Main Outcome sub-tests scores. Results The video demonstrated excellent score, with ICC 0.96 (95% CI; 0.92–0.98) 0.91–0.98). field achieved 0.92–0.98). Sub-test analysis showed good agreement all four five seven main sub-tests. Conclusion is a reliable Further research should be done assess predictive validity within this population so that physiotherapists may eventually use it as injury prevention tool.
