Free Functional Movement Questionnaire (FMQ) Report
HOW TO COMPLETE THE QUESTIONAIRE: Please read the question and then check the answer that BEST represents your ability to perform each movement.
IMPORTANT WARNING: If you have any question as to your ability to complete these movements safely or feel they are risky DO NOT perform the movement. Just score yourself appropriately. If you feel you need support, as in the use of a wall, chair, cane or other support device for balance feel free to use them and score yourself appropriately.
IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING: Your answers are being used to create your personalized exercise prescription. For your safety it is important to be honest. Be sure you that you either FULLY meet the criteria for your answers or score yourself lower. It is important to score yourself "strictly" and give yourself a lower score rather than higher if you are not sure you fully meet the functionality of the higher score. For your own safety it is better to score lower and receive exercises that you are fully capable of then to score high and find out the exercises prescribed are difficult or not possible for you to do.
PAIN WITH MOVEMENT: You should NOT feel pain with movement. You might feel tightness, pulling, or dull ache, but do not use any of these feelings a marker of pain - you should be looking for the OUCH. If you feel pain with any of these motions score yourself appropriately and consult your primary care provider or physical therapist.
Remember to chose the answer that BEST matches your movement ability and it is better to error on the side of scoring lower rather than scoring higher. Be tough with your scoring.
