Abstract
The purpose for a special series of articles in Physical Therapy devoted to movement science is threefold. First, physical therapists will be exposed to current research in this broad behavioral domain. This may have important implications for the discipline and profession of physical therapy. Second, physical therapists will have access to a body of knowledge that may have been overlooked because it was not seen as immediately relevant to clinical practice. Third, the series could serve as a basis for curriculum development and study in physical therapy education programs. By providing this exposure in Physical Therapy, unjustified barriers to particular research questions, methodologies, and related literatures may be overcome. Two concepts are presented that provide a framework for the 23 contributions to the movement science special series.
