The aforementioned variables indicating which conditions respondents treated via movement techniques provide a "yes" or "no" response for each condition. Analysts interested in the conditions that movement techniques was used to treat may wish to consult the following summary variables, as well:

• condition for which movement techniques was used most (MOVTCONMOST)

• condition count for movement techniques (MOVCONNO)

In 2007, sample adults were asked, "Did you use [fill: type of movement technique] for a specific health problem or condition?"

By contrast, the question wording for sample children emphasizes that the movement techniques must have occurred within the past 12 months: "During the past 12 months, did [fill: sample child's name] use [Feldenkreis/ Alexander Technique/ Pilates/ Trager Psychophysical Integration] for a specific health problem or condition?"

However, two of the questions for sample adults preceding MOVTREAT (MOVNO and MOVALEXYR or the comparable variables for other movement techniques MOVFELDYR, MOVPILATYR, or MOVTRAGYR) did specify the 12 month time frame. Respondents were only asked the question for MOVTREAT if they indicated in MOVALEXYR or the other comparable variables that they had seen a practitioner for movement techniques during the past 12 months.
