Context: The functional movement screen (FMS) is an assessment tool for movement dysfunction, which is utilized to reduce the risk of injury. Although the relationship between the FMS composite score and injuries has been extensively studied, the association between FMS scores and injuries in only collegiate basketball players remains unknown. Objective: To examine the relationship between the FMS score and injuries in basketball players. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: Eighty-one male college basketball players (average age, 20.1 ± 1.3 years) participated. Main outcome measures: The FMS composite score was calculated from seven movement tests. The incidence of injuries over a one-year period prior to the test day was determined based on a questionnaire. Individuals were categorized into two groups: Injury (with a serious basketball-related injury resulting in the loss of practice and game time for at least four weeks) and Non-injury groups. Mann-Whitney U and chi-square tests were used to evaluate group differences in the composite FMS and seven movement scores, respectively. Furthermore, the scores significant on univariate analyses were submitted to a multivariate logistic analysis, adjusting for participant characteristics. Results: The composite FMS scores of the two groups were not significantly different (p=0.378). Among the seven tasks, only the deep squat (DS) and hurdle step (HS) showed significant group differences (p=0.028; p=0.001, respectively). The multivariate logistic analysis revealed that DS (odds ratio [OR], 6.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23-34.01; p=0.027) and HS scores (OR, 25.80; 95% CI, 1.81-368.73; p=0.017) were significantly associated with injuries, even after adjustment for participant characteristics. Conclusions: DS and HS scores may be associated with injuries in basketball players. Further research should be conducted to confirm that these two scores can predict the incidence of injuries in basketball players. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
