Knowledge Translation Taskforce for Movement Systems Diagnosis with Balance Dysfunction

My name is Heidi Moyer, PT, DPT, GCS, CEEAA and I am the co-chair for the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy (ANPT) Knowledge Translation Taskforce for Movement Systems Diagnosis with Balance Dysfunction. I am reaching out to you on behalf of a research study conducted by myself; fellow co-chair Christina Burke, PT, DPT, MS, NCS; and task force members: Wendy Kriekels, PT, DPT, NCS; Arco Paul, PT, DPT, PhD, NCS; Ana Sanchez-Junkin, PT, DPT, NCS; and Suzanne Trojanowski, PT, DPT, NCS titled Utility of ANPT Movement System Diagnoses for Balance Dysfunction and Movement Analysis of Tasks Frameworks.

Our study focuses on the current clinical and academic utility of both the Movement System Diagnoses for Balance (Gill-Body et al 2021) and Movement Analysis of Tasks (Quinn et al 2021). We are interested in knowing how widespread the familiarity, use, and application of these frameworks are. The ANPT has created two knowledge translation taskforces (one for each framework) and this 15-minute survey will also be used to help determine which deliverables to prioritize for these groups.

If you are currently a licensed physical therapy professional (PT or PTA) we are interested in your opinion in this matter. We welcome any and all clinical backgrounds, specialties, and settings. Your contributions will ultimately help to guide improved evidence-based practice patterns regarding movement analysis and balance dysfunction categorization in the physical therapy field.

This study has been approved by the Angelo State University Institutional Review Board approval # MOY-110923. Access the Qualtrics Survey HERE or below at this web address: https://angelo.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cU2QbExaXDPEBbU
