Movement inefficiency and/or impaired stability and mobility increase athletic injury risk.
- •
The movement system screening tool was developed to assess athletic injury risk factors.
- •
The presented novel screen is a valid and reliable assessment of movement performance.
- •
Hip/knee flexion was associated with runners anterior reach distance in the modified star excursion balance test.
- •
Hip flexion was associated with the posteromedial and knee flexion with the posterolateral reach.
- •
Hip extensor strength was associated with posteromedial, posterolateral and composite reaches.
- •
Trunk kinematics and strength were not associated with runners’ performance in this test.

The effects of hypertension on physical function should be considered.
- •
Compared to normotensives hypertensives had slower processing speed.
- •
Balance and mobility was decreased more in hypertensives than normotensives.
- •
The fear of falling was higher in the hypertensives compared to normotensives.
- •
Clinicians should include preventive and rehabilitative strategies in hypertensives.
- •
Tonus, strength, and motor coordination are associated with walking speed reserve.
- •
LEMOCOT may be used to predict walking speed reserve.
- •
Exercises aimed at improving lower limb motor coordination may have the potential to improve walking speed reserve.

Three quarters of acute hip fracture patients were able to fully adhere with an Early Inpatient Exercise Program (EIEP).
- •
Living at home, absence of disability/cognitive impairment and comorbidities before an acute hip fracture is associated with Early Inpatient Exercise Program adherence.
