However, ?diagnosis of movement? in the progress of movement therapy is still recognized as a strange field in Korea. This study examined Espenak?s diagnosis method of movement based on a meaning and method in the progress of movement therapy. Also, it evaluated strong and weak points of Espenak?s diagnosis.This study will be used as materials for diagnosis of special fields in clinic for the future and requires continuous succeeding studies measuring its practicality and reliance.
