Which Test Assesses Accuracy of Movement?

Rebecca Lavaway • July 11, 2024

At The Performance Lab, we understand that movement is key to achieving peak performance in various sports. That’s why we offer a comprehensive movement assessment to our clients in Prospect and West Hartford, Connecticut, to help analyze and target areas needing improvement. We know how important proper technique and movement are, and we're ready to analyze yours and offer expert advice!

What Does a Movement Assessment Focus On?

Our movement assessment is focused on analyzing core strength, mobility, balance, and the client’s ability to coordinate different parts of their body in sequence. We take a close look at critical muscle groups and joints, including:

  • Abs and glutes
  • Neck and shoulders
  • Mid-back rotators
  • Low back
  • Hamstrings and calves
  • Forearm and hip rotators

The results are then used to create a targeted, sport-specific treatment strategy to address any identified areas of weakness, ensuring you can improve upon them effectively.

What is in a Functional Movement Screening?

Functional Movement Screening (FMS) is a series of tests designed to evaluate fundamental movement patterns and identify limitations or asymmetries in your movements. At The Performance Lab, our FMS focuses on assessing key areas such as:

  • Mobility
  • Stability
  • Overall movement efficiency

By using FMS, we can pinpoint specific areas that may be prone to injury or hinder optimal performance. This comprehensive screening allows our professionals to develop personalized training and rehabilitation programs tailored to your unique needs, helping you achieve better movement quality and enhanced athletic performance.

Benefits of a Movement Assessment

At The Performance Lab, we know that strong, functional movement is essential for peak sports performance. Our movement assessment helps identify areas for improvement so that our clients can maximize their physical activities. Benefits include:

  • Improved posture
  • Enhanced range of motion
  • Increased overall strength

With the help of our experienced professionals, you can learn how to hone your skills and maximize your potential.

The Movement Assessment Process

Our movement assessment process begins with an initial consultation to evaluate range of motion, strength, and balance. Using the information gathered from this evaluation, we then provide personalized therapy to help our clients reach their goals. We also offer physical conditioning programs for golfers and athletes, as well as exercise instruction tailored to individual needs.
