Abstract

Functional movement screening (FMS) is a crucial testing method that evaluates fundamental movement patterns in the human body and identifies functional limitations. However, due to the inherent complexity of human movements, the automated assessment of FMS poses significant challenges. Prior methodologies have struggled to effectively capture and model critical human features in video data. To address this challenge, this paper introduces an automatic assessment approach for FMS by leveraging deep learning techniques. The proposed method harnesses an I3D network to extract spatiotemporal video features across various scales and levels. Additionally, an attention mechanism (AM) module is incorporated to enable the network to focus more on human movement characteristics, enhancing its sensitivity to diverse location features. Furthermore, the multilayer perceptron (MLP) module is employed to effectively discern intricate patterns and features within the input data, facilitating its classification into multiple categories. Experimental evaluations conducted on publicly available datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art performance levels. Notably, in comparison to existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods, this approach exhibits a marked improvement in accuracy. These results corroborate the efficacy of the I3D-AM-MLP framework, indicating its significance in extracting advanced human movement feature expressions and automating the assessment of functional movement screening.
