About this study
Official title: Effects of Exercise-Based Interventions on Symmio Self-Movement Screen Scores in Untrained Adults_ A Randomized Controlled Trial
Musculoskeletal screening for physical risk factors requires equipment and a trained healthcare or fitness professional to perform and interpret the scoring so that appropriate exercise interventions can be prescribed. However, barriers such as healthcare costs and accessibility, low perceived need to seek medical care, and previous unfavorable evaluation of seeking medical care are associated with healthcare avoidant behaviors. This research aims to explore the effectiveness of the Symmio Self-Screen application to generate specific exercise interventions to address an individual's associated physical risk factors. The ability of the Symmio application to prescribe a targeted exercise program which can reduce asymmetries, improve movement quality, and enhance overall function is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the Symmio application in designing individualized exercise interventions which target the unique movement limitations and asymmetries in adults.
Read the detailed description
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are currently the largest category of workplace injuries, accounting for 30% of all workers compensation costs, and are on the rise. Globally, MSDs are also on the rise in the general adult population with 1 in 3 adults with some report of an MSD. In the United States, MSDs are even more prevalent with 1 in 2 adults presenting with a musculoskeletal disorder. The financial implications of MSDs are extensive. In the United States, annual healthcare costs associated with MSDs have surpassed $380 billion. Among the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders were low back pain and neck pain, accounting for a 6.7% spending increase annually from 1996 to 2016.
Increased physical activity is a proven way to decrease the prevalence of MSK risk factors and improve overall health. However, trends suggest MSK disorders and physical inactivity are becoming more prevalent. Generalized exercises programs may not be specific enough to effectively manage physical risk factors. Furthermore, starting a general exercise program to address the adverse effects of inactivity is now considered a risk factor for the development of an MSD. This is likely due to inappropriate functional foundations which cannot withstand the rigors of moderate to high level physical activity. Identification and mitigation of physical risk factors could establish a better movement foundation and provide individuals the durability to achieve their long-term fitness goals.
Several musculoskeletal movement screens exist which can identify physical risk factors and are associated with injury prediction. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS™) and Y-Balance Test - Lower Quarter (YBT-LQ™) are reliable, movement-based tests which can identify modifiable risk factors related to mobility and motor control deficits. However, both the FMS™ and YBT-LQ™ require equipment and are administered by a trained healthcare or fitness professional. Furthermore, the professional is required to interpret the scoring and to prescribe appropriate exercise interventions to improve specific movement limitations or asymmetries. However, barriers such as healthcare costs and accessibility, low perceived need to seek medical care, and previous unfavorable evaluation of seeking medical care are associated with healthcare avoidant behaviors.
The Symmio Self-Screen (Symmio) is a downloadable application developed to be a user-friendly and cost-effective tool for the early identification of physical risk factors that may lead to MSK injuries. The Symmio Self-Screen application provides step by step directions to screen for basic movement pattern limitations and asymmetries. Recently, the Symmio application was found to be highly reliable and valid when used as a self-screening tool to assess MSK risk factors. The simplistic scoring criteria and video guided instructions offered through the application allows for untrained adults to self-score their own movement patterns similarly to a trained healthcare provider. Additionally, the accuracy of Symmio to identify painful movement, movement dysfunction on the FMS™, and dynamic balance deficits on the YBT-LQ™ was 0.74, 0.73, 0.69, respectively. Information gained from this screening approach could allow the general population to self-screen and monitor for the development of physical risk factors and intervene with targeted exercises interventions prior to the onset of symptoms or injury.
To date, the effectiveness of the Symmio Self-Screen application to generate specific exercise interventions to address an individual's associated physical risk factors has not been explored. The ability of the Symmio application to prescribe a targeted exercise program which can reduce asymmetries, improve movement quality, and enhance overall function is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the Symmio application in designing individualized exercise interventions which target the unique movement limitations and asymmetries in adults. It is hypothesized that individuals who receive specific exercise interventions recommended by the Symmio application will have less asymmetries, improve performance on the Symmio Self-Movement Screen, and better function compared to a control group which will not receive individualized exercises.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ExerciseOther
Three exercises consisting of stretching and strengthening specific to the movement pattern dysfunction scored by Symmio will be prescribed to the participants. The exercises are standardized and assigned within the Symmio application with video instruction and guidance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control | No intervention | Participants in the control group will not receive any exercise interventions. Participants in the control group will receive their individualized corrective exercises program following completion of the research study following the 10 week follow up. |
| Exercise Group | Experimental | Participants in the intervention will be assigned three corrective exercises based on their greatest movement pattern deficit as advised by the Symmio application. Participants in the intervention group will follow the exercise and educational guidance provided by the Symmio application including adjustment of exercises and reviewing educational materials. Receives: Other: Exercise |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Symmio Self-Movement Screen
Each participant will have access to the Symmio application via cell phone or tablet and will complete the self-screen as directed by the video and verbal guidance provided in the application. Participants will self-score themselves on the Symmio movements and record their results into both the application and on the data collection form.
Measured: Baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Global Rating of Change
Each participant's global rate of change (GROC) will be evaluated at each follow-up time point. GROC ratings that positively change categories toward improvement will be considered positive outcomes
