However, the association between FMS\u2122 scores and LBP remains uncertain.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine functional movement scores among patients with low back pain (LBP) and healthy subjects with no LBP and review the validity of the FMS\u2122 tool for screening functional movement among LBP patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n The systematic review and meta-analysis included papers assessing functional movement among adult patients with LBP using the FMS\u2122 through a literature review of five databases. The search strategy focused used relevant keywords: Functional movement screen AND low back pain. The review included all papers assessing functional movement among LBP adult patients (>18 years old) using the FMS\u2122 published between 2003 to 2023. The risk of bias in the involved studies was evaluated using the updated Cochrane ROB 2 tool. Statistical analysis was conducted using Review Manager software, version 5.4. The meta-analysis included the total FMS\u2122 score and the scores of the seven FMS\u2122 movement patterns.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Seven studies were included in this systematic review were considered to have low to unclear risk of bias. The meta-analysis revealed that the LBP group had a significantly lower total FMS\u2122 score than the control group by 1.81 points (95% CI (-3.02, -0.59), p= 0.004). Patients with LBP had a significantly lower score than the control group regarding FMS\u2122 movement patterns, the deep squat (p <0.01), the hurdle step (p <0.01), the inline lunge (P value <0.01), the active straight leg raise (p <0.01), the trunk stability push-up (p=0.02), and the rotational stability screens (p <0.01).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Lower scores on the FMS\u2122 are associated with impaired functional movement. Identifying the specific functional movement impairments linked to LBP can assist in the creation of personalized treatment plans and interventions. Further research is needed to assess the association of cofounders, such as age, gender, and body mass index, with the FMS\u2122 score among LBP patients and controls.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Level of evidence<\/jats:title>\n 1<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.26603\/001c.120199","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,1]],"date-time":"2024-07-01T08:23:49Z","timestamp":1719822229000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comparing the Scores of The Functional Movement Screen\u2122 in Individuals with Low Back Pain versus Healthy Individuals: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.26603","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Khalid M.","family":"Alkhathami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Rehabilitation, College of Applied Medical Sciences at Shaqra, Shaqra University, Shaqra, 11961, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7887-0979","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bijad","family":"Alqahtani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Rehabilitation, College of Applied Medical Sciences at Shaqra, Shaqra University, Shaqra, 11961, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"11140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"ref1","first-page":"132","article-title":"Pre-participation screening: the use of fundamental movements as an assessment of function - part 2","volume":"1","author":"G.
