I went to GAIN a few years ago and much of the education was on the PCA or Physical Competence Assessment for those who only are familiar with the FMS. The PCA is frankly a better tool in my opinion because it has no constraints. The overhead squat is not owned by any system, so even the PCA can be disrupted by better ways to get more relevant information. Recently my comments on corrective exerci

Carl, you certainly have stirred up the hornet’s nest on movement screens and corrective exercise. I’ve been reading your posts on other websites and blogs.
Are you aware of any studies on the efficacy of corrective exercises on movement screens and subsequently on injury prevention?

Keep these blogs coming…thanks for informing us on the different types of assessments too.

The PCA is part movement and part PT and the relationships between table tests are well documented. For example, I see a huge improvement between Thomas tests (hip flexor, knee extension, and hip rotation) and running mechanics. Those tests have been around for decades and have clinical research.

When one has great quad flexibility I see less anterior knee pain and the etiology of jumpers knee is ROM and google scholar has a dozen studies to support it.
