Movement Health is a concept explored within the field of movement science suggested to act as a marker of the status of an individual's movement system. Movement Health has recently been adopted by the company Amazon as a term associated to their Halo product.

Introduced into the academic literature in 2015 by McNeill and Blandford, the authors state Movement Health reflects the presence of possessing choice in both task selection ('what' is achieved) and task execution ('how' the task is achieved). Therefore, an individual in an optimal state of Movement Health, could achieve any task outcome and could display all possible variations of how the task is achieved. An earlier publication defines Movement Health as a desired state in which the individual is not only free of injury but possesses choice in the achievement of their movement outcomes (Blandford, 2014). Dingenen et al. (2018) explore the topic of Movement Health from differeing perspectives of those working within clinical environments. The 2018 paper suggests Movement Health can be assessed via either quantitative or qualitative measures to subsequently guide clinical interventions. Mottram and Blandford (2020) offer an intense scrutiny of the qualitative approach to assessing Movement Health via the use of cognitive movement control tests (CMCT). Failure of CMCTs is suggested to reveal loss of movement choices and therefore represent a state of compromised Movement Health.
