“…Similar movements were employed in other related research within the published literature [17, 18]. Additional motivation for selecting the movements is because they are commonly used by clinicians as part of rehabilitation programs or as part of physical examinations for numerous situations, such as post-surgery recovery, upper body conditions (e.g., rotator cuff tendinopathy), lower body conditions (e.g., patellar tendinopathy) [22, 23]. On the other hand, the choice of the movements in the presented data set was not intended to address rehabilitation for specific types of medical or musculoskeletal conditions.…”

The article presents University of Idaho – Physical Rehabilitation Movement Data (UI-PRMD) — a publically available data set of movements related to common exercises performed by patients in physical rehabilitation programs. For the data collection, 10 healthy subjects performed 10 repetitions of different physical therapy movements, with a Vicon optical tracker and a Microsoft Kinect sensor used for the motion capturing. The data are in a format that includes positions and angles of full-body joints. The objective of the data set is to provide a basis for mathematical modeling of therapy movements, as well as for establishing performance metrics for evaluation of patient consistency in executing the prescribed rehabilitation exercises.

“…In 2015, the HOD endorsed (HOD P06-15-25-24) the development of diagnostic labels and/or classification systems as a beginning step to inform clinical practice, education, and research. 8 and move forward with the movement system as the core of physical therapy education. This is essential to moving forward toward a unified profession, with a strong professional identity as experts in the movement system.…”

Although many physical therapists have begun to focus on movement and function in clinical practice, a significant number continue to focus on impairments or pathoanatomic models to direct interventions. This paradigm may be driven by the current models used to direct and guide curricula used for physical therapist education. The methods by which students are educated may contribute to a focus on independent systems, rather than viewing the body as a functional whole. Students who enter practice must be able to integrate information across multiple systems that affect a patient or client's movement and function. Such integration must be taught to students and it is the responsibility of those in physical therapist education to embrace and teach the next generation of students this identifying professional paradigm of the movement system. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to describe the current state of the movement system in physical therapy education, suggest strategies for enhancing movement system focus in entry level education, and envision the future of physical therapy education related to the movement system. Contributions by a student author offer depth and perspective to the ideas and suggestions presented. Level of Evidence: 5

“…Diagnostic labels are intended to guide treatment, to facilitate communication between health professionals and to provide homogeneous patient groups in treatment outcome studies 2 3. For that reason, clinicians as well as researchers continue the attempt to classify patients into subgroups underneath the umbrella of common shoulder symptoms.…”
