SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment)

The Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) is a diagnostic tool used by healthcare professionals to evaluate movement patterns and identify sources of pain or dysfunction. It involves a series of standardized movement tests that assess how well different parts of the body move and work together. The goal is to pinpoint specific areas that may be causing pain or affecting performance, allowing for targeted treatment or corrective strategies. SFMA helps differentiate between movement problems that are functional versus those that are dysfunctional, facilitating more effective and personalized rehabilitation or training programs.
