The Functional Movement Screen is purely an instrument for rating and ranking movements, and is not a training or competition tool.
The screen’s usefullness is its simplicity, practicality and ability to fill a void to judge performance and durability. It is not intended to determine why a dysfunctional or faulty movment pattern exists.
Instead, it’s a discovery of which patterns are problematic and exposes dysfunction, pain, or both within basic movement patterns.
