As much a language for observing movement as a dedicated acting technique rudolf labans scientific approach divides movement into four categories. Whole person compared to ngertip. Results obtained comparing the trajectories of the two methods showed that the errors were lower than 3 ih p and 2 deg during a 4s of acquisition and lower than 6 ih q and 02 deg during the effective duration of a locomotory task. Although effective this technique is obtrusive and expensive.
