Which type of feedback includes details about the quality of movement?

Knowledge of performance feedback includes information regarding the quality of movement during a physical task. This type of feedback helps clinicians and patients understand how well a movement is being executed in terms of technique, form, and efficiency. For instance, it might involve aspects such as the angle of a joint, the speed of a movement, or whether the movement aligns with the intended biomechanical principles. By providing this specific information, knowledge of performance can guide individuals in making necessary adjustments to improve their technique and enhance their overall performance in tasks.

In contrast, knowledge of results typically focuses on the outcome of a movement, such as whether a ball was thrown into a target, without detailing how the movement was performed. Extrinsic feedback is a broader category that includes both knowledge of results and knowledge of performance but does not specifically focus on the qualitative aspects of the movement itself. Intrinsic feedback refers to the sensory information that the performer receives from their own body during the task, which is subjective and often more difficult to articulate than the specific details provided by knowledge of performance.
