The purpose of the current study was to describe and compare functional movements in female students with mild and moderate scoliosis. Materials and Methods: In the current study, we selected 45 Scoliotic females with a single curve in the thoracic spine. The degree of curvature and functional movements were assessed by photography and functional movement screen test, then participants were divided into two groups based on severity of curvature: mild scoliosis: 22 females with 16.05±3.24 degree angle of curvature and moderate scoliosis: 23 females with 28.91±5.79 degree of curvature. Data were analyzed using SPSS, version 20, and by running mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests. Results: The Functional movement scores were 14.00±2.24 in mild scoliosis and 13.26±2.00 in moderate scoliosis. The mann-Whitney U test results revealed that these scores did not differ significantly between the two groups (U=0.142.00, P= 0.184). Also, chi-square test results revealed that there is no significant difference in the distribution of scores from zero to three between two groups for any of the movements (P>0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, FMS score in the group with moderate scoliosis was less than that of mild scoliosis but this difference was not statistically significant.
