FMS has demonstrated some efficacy in the prediction of injuries and is thus used by many practitioners to make recomActa Medica Mediterranea, 2017, 33: 651. Functional movement is the ability to produce and maintain a balance between mobility and stability along the kinetic chain while performing fundamental patterns with accuracy and efficiency . Muscular flexibility, strength, coordination, balance, endurance, and movement efficiency are components necessary to achieve functional movement, which is integral to performance and sport-related skills and also in health promotion environments, like gyms for general population. Physically active people may face the risk of long or short term injuries and these injuries are commonly as lower extremity especially in sportive activities/ games and may occur after an intensive exercises or/and neuromuscular fatigue . Preventing injuries, it should be determined whether the athletes are in the risk group. One of the popular screening tool for this, is the Functional Movement Screen (FMS).
