What is functional movement? By Michael E. Rogers, Ph.D. and Phillip Page, M.S., P.T.
The buzzword "functional" has been loosely used in exercise training programs to describe exercises that are relevant to specific functional activities that we perform on a daily basis (known as "activities of daily living" or ADLs).These ADLs may be "basic ADLs" such as eating, grooming and bathing or "instrumental ADLs" such as mobility, gait and transfers. Higher levels of functional activity include specific tasks that are required for work or participation in recreational activities, such as swinging a tennis racquet.
