Athletic Trainers face increasing demands to identify movement inefficiencies and injury risks in athletes quickly and accurately. Traditional methods of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) are effective, but they can be time-consuming and rely heavily on visual assessment. With Demotu’s adaptive Functional Movement Screen powered by a single mobile device, you can now conduct these critical assessments in a shorter period of time and with a higher degree of accuracy than ever before.

Surpassing other cutting-edge AI sports technology, Demotu incorporates 3D movement analysis to capture and analyze movements with precision. This advanced technology reduces human error often associated with visual assessments, providing trainers with what most would think are AI-powered insights, but ours are more objective and consistent.

By utilizing technology on par or better than vision AI mocap and sports AI, our platform evaluates key athletic movements like:

  • Overhead Squat for hip, knee, and ankle mobility,

  • Single Leg Balance for unilateral stability,

  • Push for upper body control, and

  • Lateral Lunge to assess lateral movement.

Demotu’s assessment application stands up to the requirements of lab sports performance grade features, including detailed assessments of joint mobility, like hip hinge exercises, and knee extension—key metrics that help pinpoint weaknesses and inefficiencies. Furthermore, our movement assessment is integrated to enhance precision in upper body movements, providing a holistic picture of the athlete's performance.


Our Protocol for the Adapted Movement Screen:

Goal: Identify movement limitations and asymmetries that may lead to injury.

Functional Assessments:

  • Overhead Squat

  • Single Leg Balance

  • Push (for upper body strength and control)

  • Lateral Lunge Reverse Lunge

Joint Comparisons:

  • Overhead Squat

  • Single Leg Balance

  • Push (for upper body strength and control)

  • Lateral Lunge Reverse Lunge

Research: FMS has been widely used to predict injury risk and identify dysfunctional movement patterns in athletes.



The app not only assesses movement but generates custom corrective exercises through our proprietary workout builder and exercise builder, tailored to address detected inefficiencies. This ensures that Athletic Trainers can quickly implement exercises that help athletes correct their weaknesses and avoid injury. With these tools, Demotu optimizes performance by providing custom solutions for a range of movement assessment, improving movement efficiency attributes, and preventing immobility that could hinder athletic performance.

Our technology-driven approach makes it easier for athletic trainers to focus on building stronger, more resilient athletes. In partnership with sports technology labs and leveraging insights from experts in the space, Demotu is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in functional movement assessment.

By shifting to a platform with more accuracy than an AI mocap system, Demotu also enhances communication with specialized tools and platforms. If you're wondering things like how to speak to Vald, we offer seamless integration with force plates, making sure your assessments fit into broader fitness systems with ease.

Whether you’re working with children using a movement assessment battery or focusing on high-level athletes, Demotu’s adaptive platform delivers the accuracy and speed Athletic Trainers need. With our platform, trainers can more easily access resources like performance-oriented mobility assessments and even selective functional movement assessment pdf guides to deepen their understanding of functional assessments.

Enhance your movement screening today with Demotu, the only app that combines AI-powered insights with cutting-edge movement technology to transform how you assess and improve athlete performance.
