Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a tool that is commonly used to predict the occurrence of injury. Previous studies have shown that a score of 14 or less (with a maximum possible score of 21) successfully predicted future injury occurrence in athletes. No studies have looked at the use of the FMS to predict injuries in hockey players. OBJECTIVE: To see if injury in major junior hockey players can be predicted by a preseason FMS. METHODS: A convenience sample of 20 hockey players was scored on the FMS prior to the start of the hockey season. Injuries and number of man-games lost for each injury were documented over the course of the season. RESULTS: The mean FMS score was 14.7+/-2.58. Those with an FMS score of ≤14 were not more likely to sustain an injury as determined by the Fisher's exact test (one-tailed, P = 0.32). CONCLUSION: This study did not support the notion that lower FMS scores predict injury in major junior hockey players.
