- Movement quality is a phenomenon frequently used by physiotherapists in oral language, written text, and clinical practice, with little clarification. The purpose was to investigate the lived experiences of a group of expert physiotherapists, searching for essential features and characteristics of the phenomenon. A phenomenological study, using in-depth interviews was chosen. Ten copies of Fine Art were used to stimulate the description of the phenomenon. The informants were 15 peer-designated physiotherapists, five from each field of neurology, psychosomatic/psychiatry and primary health care. They were nominated by physical therapist leaders in the region. The interviews were audiotaped and transcribed. Giorgis' recommendation concerning analysis of the interview data was followed. Four main themes were developed, seeing movement quality as biomechanical, physiological, psycho-socio-cultural, and existential, all interacting processes. Each theme includes preconditions to movement quality and movement characteristics. Movement quality in general was seen as a unifying phenomenon, representing a synthesis of the four themes. The outcome of the study is the Movement Quality Model (MQM) illuminating essential features and characteristics of the phenomenon. Further research is needed for clarification and application in clinical practice

- Quality of movement is frequently referred to as a phenomenon in the European movement tradition,underlining a close connection between outer expression and inner,lived experience. Within physical therapy little is clarified about the phenomenon from the point of view of lived experience. A case study was done searching for basic elements and dimensions of the phenomenon. An interpretive phenomenological approach was used. A qualitative interview was conducted with one movement expert with an understanding of the phenomenon. Analysis showed three levels of quality of movement; basic elements and dimensions,functional use and personal integration. The phenomenon could be understood by the relation between three key elements; postural stability,free breathing and awareness. The key elements were considered prerequisites to a four-dimensional approach involving personal integration of bodily and mental aspects in movements. The basic elements and dimensions of the phenomenon of quality of
