Valoración funcional del movimiento por medio del test Functional Movement Screen en estudiantes de la Universidad de las Artes de la carrera de Danza.

Abstract

The Functional Movement Screen test evaluates muscle imbalances and postural domain instability. Objective: To determine the fuctionality patters in students of the University of the Arts dance career according to the Functional Movement Screen scale. Methodology: It had a quantitative, descriptive approach, non-experimental design, cross-sectional with a population of 60 students. Instruments: clinical history, Visual Analog Scale, Functional Movement Screen. Results: The Visual Analog Scale showed that the students presented mild to moderate pain with 45% and 43.33% respectively; In the FMS Test, the ability to perform the functional movement sequence was clearly evidenced, mainly in the exercises of trunk stability in flexion (38%), shoulder mobility (43%), stride in line (47%) and obstacle passage. (42%), similar, when executing a functional movement pattern with a certain degree of compensation, the highest percentage was indicated in stability with rotation (80%), shoulder mobility (57%), line throw (45%), step hurdle (43%) and straight-arm deep squat (58%) and is disabled to complete a functional movement pattern primarily on trunk stability in flexion (22%), hurdle step and straight-arm deep squat with 15 % each. The manifestations of pain only occurred in a maximum weighting of 2% in the deep squat with straight arms, trunk stability and stability with rotation; From the clinical history it was found that the students exhibited sprains more frequently (23.33%), various musculoskeletal injuries (21.67%). Conclusions: It was concluded that 88.33% of the dancers presented some type of pain and a higher score was obtained for weakness in movement patterns, increasing the risk of injuries, evidencing that a large part of the sample presents stability deficiencies.
