Deep Squat Flexion Screen
Compare observed deep-squat knee flexion to a caller-defined benchmark.
Description
Deep-squat flexion screening compares an observed knee angle with a supplied minimum.
Deep-squat flexion screening compares an observed knee angle with a supplied minimum. The signed margin preserves degree shortfall.1
Compare observed deep-squat knee flexion to a caller-defined benchmark.
When to use Deep Squat Flexion Screen
Use this tool to compare observed deep-squat knee flexion to a caller-defined benchmark.
Prepare the measured movement, timing, load or preassigned score requested. Keep protocols, units, paired measurements and caller-selected thresholds consistent.
How to use Deep Squat Flexion Screen and understand its results
- Prepare the measured movement, timing, load or preassigned score requested. Keep protocols, units, paired measurements and caller-selected thresholds consistent.
- Enter squatKneeFlexionDegrees, minimumFlexionDegrees using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read marginDegrees, meetsTarget. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| squatKneeFlexionDegrees | Squat knee flexion degrees | number | Required |
| minimumFlexionDegrees | Minimum flexion degrees | number | Required |
Enter nonnegative degree values. Return margin and inclusive flag.
margin=measured−minimum; passes=margin≥0 Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| marginDegrees | Margin degrees | number |
| meetsTarget | Meets target | boolean |

}Limitations and assumptions
No squat observation, joint loading, pain or individualized mobility benchmark is evaluated.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Dynamic Valgus Angle Screen: Compare the measured value with caller-supplied bounds for dynamic valgus angle screen. For a complementary task, use FMS Seven Item Score: Sum seven Functional Movement Screen scores; compare only with supplied cutoff.
