AB  - BACKGROUND: Several screening tools are available for use in a clinical setting 
      to predict injury. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the accuracy of 
      these tools to predict soccer-specific injuries. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this 
      systematic literature review was to determine the psychometric properties or 
      accuracy of screening tools for common soccer injuries. METHODS: A systematic 
      review of diagnostic test accuracy was undertaken based on the Joanna Briggs 
      Institute (JBI) procedure for conducting systematic reviews. Databases such as 
      SPORT Discus, Cinahl, Medline, Science Direct, PubMed and grey literature were 
      searched in order to access suitable studies. RESULTS: A total of 10 studies were 
      included for the analysis - three were analysed quantitatively whilst the 
      remaining seven were analysed qualitatively. The screening tools were of high 
      reliability, sensitivity and specificity (calculated as intraclass correlation 
      coefficient [ICC] (0.68 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.52-0.84 and 0.64 95% CI: 
      0.61-0.66, respectively). CONCLUSION: The screening tools assessed for the 
      prediction of common soccer injuries that emerged from this systematic review 
      include the Functional Movement Screening (FMS), the Landing Error Scoring 
      System (LESS), the Tuck Jump Assessment, the Soccer Injury Movement Screening 
      (SIMS) and the conventional hamstrings to quadriceps ratio; all with good 
      evidence of predicting common soccer injuries. These tools were of high 
      sensitivity and specificity thus reliable for soccer screening. CLINICAL 
      IMPLICATIONS: The validity of these tools is acceptable and therefore the authors 
      recommend that these tools be included in an injury prevention programme for 
      soccer players.
