Functional movements interfaces with trunk muscles endurance

Abstract

Research background. Bad movement pattern and weak trunk muscles can cause an injury. So it is very important to evaluate functional movements and trunk muscle endurance. Performing functional movements subject can get total 21 score. Subjects who got from functional movements less than 14 score, increase the risk of an injury (Cook, 2010). Research aim. To evaluate functional movements and trunk muscle endurance links. Research method. Functional movements are evaluated using Functional Movement Screen (eng. FMS). Functionak Movement Screen consist of 7 (deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight leg raise, trunk stability push-up, rotary stability) fundamental movement patterns. Each movement is graded from 0 to 3. A zero is given if any pain is present during the movement. A score of 1 is given if the participant can not complete the task. A score of 2 is given if the participant is able to complete the task with modification or with signs of restriction or instability. A score of 3 is given if the participant is able to complete the task according to the test's criteria. A total of 21 is the highest score possible. In our abstract we are analyzing two functional movements trunk stability push-up and rotary stability. [...]
