FMS or Functional Movement Screen in UK  is basically the product of Functional Movement Systems. This can be understood in simple terms as an exercise philosophy. The consequent set of resources along with this exercise philosophy is based on several years of improvement, sound science and current research. The FMS is a grading and ranking system that documents different types of movement patterns that play a crucial role in normal functioning. FMS is capable of identifying all sorts of functional asymmetries and limitations by screening the patterns. Such type of issues can have an effect on the physical conditioning, functional training and also alter body awareness. The FMS efficiently generates the Functional Movement Screen based Score that can be used for tracking progress and targeting problems.  This is a special type of scoring system linked directly to helpful remedial exercises that are used for restoring movement patterns.

Apparently this test is a pretty good indicator of your functional movement capability/mobility. Using a Pass/Fail system, a score of less than 14 allegedly corresponds to 35% higher risk of injuries.
