Purpose
To examine the inter-rater reliability of the scoring of the FMS™ between trained novices and an expert rater using video records
Methods
twenty healthy college students participated. Each participant performed the series of seven functional movement screens. Four raters (three novices and one expert) independently scored the seven FMS™ tests by watching video recordings of the movements.
Results
Level of experience of the rater scoring the FMS™ should be considered, as it appears that the expert rater was more critical than novice raters in the interpretation of the scoring criteria
