Introduction[edit | edit source]
The movement system is identified as the collection of various systems: cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine, integumentary, nervous and musculoskeletal that work together in coordination to produce body movement. As physiotherapists we are characterized as movement experts and this shapes our unique identity in the medical society.
In 2013, the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) adopted a new vision, “Transforming society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience.”
This new vision is considered to be an identity for physiotherapists that calls for skills, knowledge and expertise related to the movement system to promote optimal development and prevents activity limitation[1].
