Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Firefighting is a physically demanding job with elevated injury risks.
  • Mobility dysfunction can impair firefighter performance and increase injury likelihood.
  • The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a tool to identify mobility issues and compensatory movement patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between firefighter mobility, as measured by the FMS, and their occupational task performance.
  • To determine if specific FMS components predict occupational task performance in firefighters.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study involving 29 career firefighters.
  • Utilized Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores and occupational performance task scores.
  • Statistical analysis included multiple linear regression and 21 point-biserial correlations.

Main Results:

  • Four significant correlations were found between FMS components and occupational task performance.
  • The Inline Lunge (Left, Right, and Combined) demonstrated a significant negative correlation with task completion time.
  • Shoulder Mobility (Left) also showed a significant negative correlation with task completion time.

Conclusions:

  • The Inline Lunge component of the FMS appears to be a critical indicator of occupational task performance in firefighters.
  • FMS assessment may help identify firefighters at risk for performance deficits due to mobility limitations.
