Integration of research in the fields of neural control of movement and biomechanics (collectively referred to as movement science) with the field of human occupation directly benefits both areas of study. Specifically, incorporating many of the quantitative scientific methods and analyses employed in movement science can help accelerate the development of rehabilitation-relevant research in occupational therapy (OT) and occupational science (OS). Reciprocally, OT and OS, which focus on the performance of everyday activities (occupations) to promote health and well-being, provide theoretical frameworks to guide research on the performance of actions in the context of social, psychological, and environmental factors. Given both fields' mutual interest in the study of movement as it relates to health and disease, the authors posit that combining OS and OT theories and principles with the theories and methods in movement science may lead to new, impactful, and clinically relevant knowledge. The first step is to ensure that individuals with OS or OT backgrounds are academically prepared to pursue advanced study in movement science. In this article, the authors propose 2 strategies to address this need.
将运动的神经控制和生物力学领域（统称为运动科学）的研究与人类职业领域相结合，直接有益于这两个研究领域。具体而言，纳入运动科学中使用的许多定量科学方法和分析，有助于加速职业治疗（OT）和职业科学（OS）中与康复相关研究的发展。相反，专注于日常活动（职业）表现以促进健康和幸福的OT和OS，提供了理论框架，以指导在社会、心理和环境因素背景下对行动表现的研究。鉴于这两个领域对与健康和疾病相关的运动研究都有共同兴趣，作者认为将OS和OT的理论与原则与运动科学的理论和方法相结合，可能会产生新的、有影响力的和临床相关的知识。第一步是确保具有OS或OT背景的个人在学术上为攻读运动科学的高级学位做好准备。在本文中，作者提出了两种策略来满足这一需求。
