Movement Science
Movement science, the study of human movement and postural control, serves as the foundation for the development of evidence-based rehabilitation practices. The converging knowledge from multiple disciplines is required to examine human movement and postural control. These disciplines include motor control and learning, anatomy, kinesiology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, muscle physiology, neurophysiology, and neuroscience. The aim of the research in this area is to develop scientifically- based assessment and treatment strategies to promote 1) maintenance of movement, 2) restoration of movement, and 3) compensation for movement loss or dysfunction, secondary to the consequences of aging, injury, disease, or developmental disorders. Movement science research focuses on the impact of these processes by the evaluation of impairments, disability (activity), and handicap (participation). The ultimate goal of research in movement science is to improve the quality of life for individuals who have movement and postural dysfunctions.
