The assessment of movement skills via evasive movements when performing an overhead squat is a test method frequently used in practice. It is also known as functional movement assessment. 

One reason for the significance of this method is the wealth of movement skills that you have to use to perform an overhead squat. In addition, the movements you perform in the overhead squat are relevant to everyday life. This means that incorrect movement patterns that occur in the overhead squat are also performed several times in everyday life, which significantly increases their relevance.

However, as the overhead squat is a very complex movement, we at AIMO are already working on further movement tests with less complex movements.
