German term or phrase: LS: Bewegungstörung

Hello!

I'm translating some medical records, and in a prescription text I was stumped by the following abbreviation:

"10 x Krankengymnastik
**LS**: Bewegungstörung"

The underlying diagnosis relates to a muscle injury in the forearm.

Any help very welcome!

Reference: Leitsymptomatik - main/leading symptoms

Reference information:
In contrast to what Melanie assumed this is not an instruction for the therapist but a mandatory information to be given on the statutory health insurance form for the prescription of physiotherapy (*Muster 13*):
http://www.md-reha.de/Resources/gallery1c.png?43

Neben dem Indikationsschlüssel ist die Diagnose + *Leitsymptomatik* immer anzugeben. „Z.n. Bandscheiben-OP“ allein reicht für eine Verordnung nicht aus.
http://daris.kbv.de/daris/doccontent.dll?LibraryName=EXTDARI...

Darunter finden Sie eine Tabelle. Die erste Spalte beinhaltet die *Leitsymptomatik* bestehend aus funktioneller/struktureller Schädigung mit den daraus resultierenden Therapiezielen.
http://www.heilmittelkatalog.de/physio/anleit.htm

Im Heilmittelbereich (Ergotherapie, Logopädie, Physiotherapie und Podologie) ist der behandelnde Arzt verpflichtet, auf der ärztlichen Heilmittelverordnung die *Leitsymptomatik* anzugeben, aus der sich gemäß Heilmittelkatalog die zu wählende Therapie ergibt um das angestrebte Therapieziel zu erreichen.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leitsymptomatik

Hinweis: Es kann sein, dass sich im Behandlungsverlauf auch bei gleichbleibender Diagnose die *Leitsymptomatik* und damit das Therapieziel sowie die Wahl der Heilmittel ändern können. Hieraus ergibt sich jedoch kein neuer Regelfall. Eine Folgeverordnung im selben Regelfall liegt also auch dann vor, wenn sich bei derselben Diagnose die *Leitsymptomatik* oder die Wahl der Heilmittel ändert.
