Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Functional Movement Screen Assessment (FMS) | 20 minutes | 0-21 (It has 7 subtests, and minimum 0 and maximum 3 is given for scoring.) Higher scores are better. For bilateral subtests, scoring is performed for both sides, and scoring is given according to lower side. ( Example; Right 2, Left 1 so 1 point score is given for that parameter. At last, all 7 scores summed for total score(0/21). |
Secondary
