Study of Functional Movement Screening Scores and some Damaging Risk Factors in AJA Staff

Musculoskeletal position, damaging risk factors and Functional Movement Screening of the human body are the main indicators for identifying the level of health of the individual and society. Musculoskeletal disorders and work-related motor dysfunction are considered to be the main cause of disability worldwide. Musculoskeletal injuries in military personnel have a direct effect on the readiness of the National Defense Force.

The statistical population of this study included all Ajay staff. From this population, 55 people were randomly selected as a statistical sample. FMS functional motion screening test was used. Also for damaging risk factors of YBT-LQ, YBT-UQ, SLVJ, DF, the 6-m timed jump was used. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used for data normality and descriptive statistics and correlation coefficient. The regression was used to evaluate the variables using SPSS software version 22 at the significant level of 0.05.

The FMS test results showed that AJA staff had scores below 58.18%. The highest frequency in the scores is 12, 13 and 14. The relationship between variables of FMS test with Each of the damaging factor risk variables in individuals with 14 and less scores shows that there were a significant relationship between deep squat variable with YBT-LQ and YBT-UQ, single SLVJ, triple cross hop and 6 m hop time (P = 0.001). Significant correlation between hurdle step variables with DF (P = 0.005), YBT-LQ, YBT-UQ, hop there was a triple crossover (P = 0.001). There was a significant relationship between the variables of Lunch with DF (P = 0.001) and YBT-LQ (P = 0.04). There was a significant relationship between active straight leg raise of DF (P = 0.03). There was a significant relationship between rotational stability and YBT-UQ (P = 0.03). There was a significant relationship between total scores of functional screening with DF, YBT-UQ (P = 0.001), YBT-LQ (P = 0.004), triple cross hop 6 m and hop time (P = 0.04).

This study shows that overall score, FMS is a predictor of injury in AJA staff, and people with scores of 14 and below are at high risk of injury. FMS scores, coaches, commanders, and AJA staff should focus on screening and identifying people with musculoskeletal disorders, motor screening scores, and risk factors, identifying and assessing at-risk people, and providing strategies and practices.
