Area of Science:

  • Pediatric physical therapy
  • Movement science
  • Clinical diagnostics

Background:

  • Physical therapists (PTs) are recognized as movement experts.
  • A need exists for a standardized approach to movement system (MS) assessment in pediatrics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a consensus on the use of the movement system (MS) concept in pediatrics.
  • To review evidence supporting physical therapists as movement experts.
  • To guide clinicians, educators, and researchers in applying the MS framework.

Main Methods:

  • The paper defines the movement system (MS).
  • It discusses the utility of MS diagnosis (Dx) in pediatric care.
  • Case studies illustrate the application of MS Dx in developing plans of care (POC).

Main Results:

  • A structured MS diagnosis framework facilitates effective interventions.
  • Consistent terminology for MS Dx enhances communication.
  • Individualized plans of care are developed to meet functional goals.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric PTs function as movement specialists, creating tailored care plans.
  • Adoption of the MS Dx framework supports decision-making for family-centered care.
  • This approach provides a foundation for interventions across the lifespan.
