For more comprehensive results, assess yourself doing exercises from all six categories of functional human movement: squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, rotating and core stabilization (see ...
Functional movements are movements based on real-world situational biomechanics. They usually involve multi-planar, multi-joint movements which place demand on the body's core musculature and innervation. They may be measured via a functional movement screen.
Movement assessment is the practice of analysing movement performance during functional tasks to determine the kinematics of individual joints and their effect on the kinetic chain. Three-dimensional or two-dimensional analysis of the biomechanics involved in sporting tasks can assist in prevention of injury and enhancing athletic performance.
Kinesiology (from Ancient Greek κίνησις (kínēsis) 'movement' and -λογία-logía 'study of') is the scientific study of human body movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological, anatomical, biomechanical, pathological, neuropsychological principles and mechanisms of movement.
The Feldenkrais Method (FM) is a type of movement therapy devised by Israeli Moshé Feldenkrais (1904–1984) during the mid-20th century. The method is claimed to reorganize connections between the brain and body and so improve body movement and psychological state. [1] [2] There is no conclusive evidence for any medical benefits of the therapy.
Functional capacity can also be expressed as "METs" and can be used as a reliable predictor of future cardiac events. [5] One MET is defined as the amount of oxygen consumed while sitting at rest, and is equal to 3.5 ml oxygen per kilogram body weight per minute.

The basic functional movement of tensor fasciae latae is walking. The tensor fasciae latae is heavily utilized in horse riding, hurdling, and water skiing. Some problems that arise when this muscle is tight or shortened are pelvic imbalances that lead to pain in the hips, as well as pain in the lower back and lateral area of knees. [3]
