Objective: To determine if there was a significant difference in FMSTM scores between athletes that were injured and athletes that were not injured during a division one collegiate football season, to discover a cut-off score that maximizes specificity and sensitivity of the FMSTM and to examine FMSTM scores between positions groups, body part injured, and mechanism of injury. . Design, Setting, and Data Source: Testing and data collection was performed at the University of Toledo. The testing included the men’s football team with the ages ranging from 18-22. Prior to testing, subject’s completed a questionnaire providing demographics of age, height and weight and history of injury. The data collected was separated into groups, injured and non-injured and into position, skill and non-skill. To determine if there is a significant difference in FMSTM scores between groups, a dependant t-test was performed on each group with significance set at P<0.05 level. To determine cut-off scores, a receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to plot sensitivity (true positives) versus 1-specificity (true negatives) for the screening test. A 2x2 contingency table was produced to dichotomize the athletes that experienced and injury and those who did not, as well as those who were above or below the cut off score. From the table, odds ratio, likelihood ratio, sensitivity and specificity were calculated. Results: A total of 92 athletes were FMSTM tested who met the inclusion criteria and participated in the 2010 competitive season. Of the 92 subjects, 18 of them experienced an acute lower extremity injury that caused them to be removed from participation. Subjects who experienced an injury (15.8±1.29) had a lower composite FMSTM score than those who did not experience an injury (16.5±1.41). However, a t-test revealed no significant difference between the groups (t92 = -1.72; P=0.089). A t-test revealed skill position subjects had higher FMSTM scores (16.8±1.42) than non-skill position groups (15.7±1.08, t92 = 3.926 P<0.001). Analysis of the ROC curve showed that a cut-off score of 15.5 maximized the sensitivity and specificity in this study. The odds ratio were roughly 3 times more likely to experience an injury during the season if they scored a 15 or below on the FMSTM. The post test probability was calculated to be 35% an increase of 20% from pre-test probability. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the FMSTM shows potential to be an effective predictor of injury in division one collegiate football athletes. However, more research of the injury prediction capabilities of the FMSTM should be conducted before making a formal conclusion. The time commitment and personnel demands required to test an entire football should be considered before clinicians implement FMSTM testing as a predictor of injury. 2011-05-17 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1300728080 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1300728080 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
