MOVE Protocol - Movement-Oriented Velocity of Engagement

The MOVE Protocol is a structured, biomechanics-based rehabilitation framework designed to accelerate recovery from musculoskeletal pain conditions through progressive mobilization and neuromuscular control. This interventional case-series involved multiple clinical and training centers (BodyGNTX, GFFI, IIKBS, ASFU) and applied standardized MOVE sessions under the supervision of certified movement specialists. Assessments included pain scoring (NRS), functional mobility (LEFS/UEFI), and balance control, measured at baseline, week 2, week 4, and week 8. The protocol followed ICH-GCP E6(R2) and Helsinki 2013 guidelines, with institutional ethics approval from MMSx Authority IREB. The study demonstrated safe and effective early-movement outcomes across diverse populations, emphasizing mobility, load optimization, and neuromuscular revalidation.

Inclusion criteria

• Capable of performing supervised rehabilitation and daily movement tasks.
• Able to provide informed consent and comply with study assessments.
• Baseline pain score ≥4 on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).

Exclusion criteria

• Chronic pain (>12 weeks) or neurological disorders affecting movement control.

• Post-surgical cases or fractures within the past 3 months.
• Cardiopulmonary or systemic illness contraindicating exercise participation.
• Pregnancy or conditions limiting safe participation in physical rehabilitation.
• Refusal to sign informed consent.
