Introduction

Let’s be real: there’s no shortage of movement screening tools out there. Most either require fancy gear, a lab setup, or hours of training just to interpret the results. But what if you could run true movement screens anywhere, using just your phone?

Why Movement Screens Matter (and Why They Often Fall Short)

Symmetry and mobility issues increase injury risk. Whether it’s traditional FMS, Y Balance, overhead squat, or single-leg squat, these all aim to highlight asymmetries before they cause problems.

Yet most coaches still rely on observational notes like: “She leans a bit on that squat…” or “He steps weird.” The issue? No objective metrics.

Plus, these tools often don’t scale well. Scoring is subjective unless you’re certified, and even then, it's one person at a time.

What to Look for in a Screening Tool

Accuracy: Are your measurements close to biomechanics-grade outputs?

Ease of Use: No complicated setup. No markers. No cables.

Scalability: Can you screen a group on a field, not just one person in a clinic?

Actionable Insights: Are the results easy to understand and use for corrective strategy?

Progress Tracking: Can you monitor improvements over time instead of doing just a one-time snapshot?

Common Tools Compared

FMS / SFMA: Proven assessments with clinical credibility, but they require a trained admin and are subjective.

Marker-based Labs: Highly accurate but expensive and non-portable.

Wearable Sensors: Useful data in labs but require setup and hardware.

Legacy Apps: Accessible but often limited in precision.

How Your Tool Fits the Bill

Phone-Based AI: Advanced pose detection identifies joint centers and angles. No extra sensors or gear needed.

FMS-Style Screening: The app captures 20+ joint metrics in real time as athletes perform squats, lunges, or step-overs.

Objective Scoring: Get quantified valgus angles, range of motion, trunk lean, and more, all benchmarked against norms.

Auto Reports: Corrective exercises are suggested automatically based on results.

Batch Assessments: Screen a full roster or workforce in minutes with no manual input.

Real-World Value for Coaches and Therapists

Precision Meets Context: See exactly what’s happening with data-backed insights.

Test Anywhere: Gym, field, or job site. As long as you have space and your phone, you're good to go.

Built-In Guidance: Get corrective suggestions for each screen automatically.

Mass Screening: Run dozens of assessments in a single session and track improvements over time.

A Few Things to Know

Camera Setup Matters: Lighting and angle affect accuracy. Good user orientation solves most issues.

Compared to 3D Labs: Single-camera systems are slightly less precise, but neural networks have reduced errors to 3–4 degrees.

Not for Diagnosing Pathology: This is a screening and tracking tool, not a clinical diagnostic replacement.

Why This Changes the Game

FMS and SFMA are valuable but limited by logistics and subjectivity. Marker labs offer precision but aren't scalable.

Your mobile app offers a solution that is accurate, portable, scalable, and easy to use.

Coaches and therapists get true kinematic metrics, corrective guidance, scalable workflows, and fast, reliable testing—all with a smartphone.

Download the App and Start Screening Smarter
