Hello and welcome to HCM,
The motility of the sperms is very important parameter which is assessed to determine whether sperms are motile enough to fertilize the ovum.
In normally motile sperms, atleast 50% sperms should show rapid forward progressive motion.
In your semen report only 15% sperms show this rapid progressive forward motion.
This is pathological, however subnormal values may be determined in other conditions e.g infection etc.
Thanks an take care
