MOVEMENT NOTATION1 1Delivered at the XIII Biennial Congress of the Australian Physiotherapy Association, Brisbane, August, 1973.

This paper will first discuss the reasons why people invent systems of movement notation and some of the problems they may encounter in so doing. A review of a few notation systems from the past will illustrate ways in which these problems have been tackled. Second, some detail will be given of a notation system which describes movement not only in terms of what is done but also how it is done
