Functional risk for fracture by safe functional motion testing: a short version of the safe functional motion test

BACKGROUND: 'Unsafe' movement strategies used to perform everyday activities were quantified using scores for tasks included in the Short Form Safe Functional Motion test series (SSFM). Baseline scores were independently associated with incident fractures after adjusting for factors known to effect fracture risk. The purpose of the present study is to determine whether the SSFM, a series of tests of habitual motion, is associated with incident …
