The body is central to the practice of physical therapy, but clinical theory largely neglects as a concept. A better understanding embodied experience could enhance delivery therapy.The purpose this study was gain an in-depth embodiment for people after stroke while transitioning from hospital home.Seven with stroke, aged 66 89 years, were interviewed 1 month discharge rehabilitation unit. Interviews analyzed using grounded methods, and theoretical model developed.Two main themes in were:...
Abstract Background Participation outcomes and family‐centred services are now widely agreed standards of care in paediatric rehabilitation.

Navigating healthcare complexities can be challenging for disabled people, leading to challenges accessing services when required, and contributing inequitable outcomes people their families. Physiotherapists may key health providers with newly acquired physical disabilities experience these navigational themselves. Health navigators have been postulated as one solution are well established in other conditions such cancer mental health. However, navigation less developed implemented. This...
Abstract Accurate polarimetric measurements of the optical activity crystals along low symmetry directions are facilitated by isotropic points, frequencies where dispersion curves eigenrays cross and linear birefringence disappears. We report here properties structure achiral, uniaxial (point group D 2 d ) potassium trihydrogen di‐( cis ‐4‐cyclohexene‐1,2‐dicarboxylate) dihydrate, whose point was previously detected (S. A. Kim, C. Grieswatch, H. Küppers, Zeit. Krist. 1993; 208:219–222)...
This study aimed to investigate changes in walking levels of independently mobile individuals following a stroke between the inpatient setting and home environment, both directly after discharge longer term. Forty-three participants who had as their primary diagnosis could walk 10 metres without support another person on from hospital completed study. The Step-Watch Activity Monitor, six minute test, metre Stroke Impact Scale were used measure outcome. There was significant increase number...
