How to use FMS Seven Item Score 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 testScores, followupCutoff using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
Read totalScore, lowestTestScore, belowCutoff. 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
testScores	Test scores	list of number	Required
followupCutoff	Followup cutoff	number	Required

Enter exactly seven safe integer scores 0–3 and integer cutoff 0–21. Return total, minimum item score and strict below flag.

total=Σ7scores; below=total<cutoff

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Limitations and assumptions

No test administration, pain scoring or injury prediction is performed.

Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Lists are limited to 100,000 entries; the rules above may require smaller limits. 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.
