For our second video in our series on performing and scoring the Functional Movement Screen, we have the Shoulder Mobility Screen.
This is another easy screen that just involves a quick measurement.
Just to reiterate from the video above, use these measurements to score the Shoulder Mobility Screen.
0 = Pain on the screen or clearance test
1 = Distance between hands is greater than 1 ½ hand lengths
2 = Distance between hands is less than 1 ½ hands lengths, but greater than 1 hand length
3 = Distance between hands is less than 1 hand length.
That’s it! The Shoulder Mobility screen is simple and a great way to make sure your clients and athletes can press overhead and do other movements that require T-spine and shoulder mobility.
