Functional movement capacity describes the ability to perform tasks such as stepping overhead or clearing a step.

• A. Functional movement capacity
• B. Neuromuscular factors
• C. Normal ROM
• D. Hypermobility

Answer: (A)

Functional movement capacity is the overall ability to perform purposeful tasks—like stepping overhead or clearing a step—through coordinated mobility, strength, balance, and control. The statement describes this capacity directly, making it the best fit. The other options point to underlying pieces or conditions rather than the integrated ability: neuromuscular factors cover the neural and muscular processes behind movement, normal ROM speaks only to how much a joint can move and doesn’t ensure task performance, and hypermobility refers to excessive, potentially unstable motion rather than the successful execution of functional tasks.
