Physiotherapists' encounters with "obese" patients: Exploring how embodied approaches gain significance.

abstract：:The primary objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of physiotherapists' predictions of mobility for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Five physiotherapists and 47 patients from two SCI units were recruited. Two sets of predictions about mobility at 1 year were made for each patient shortly after the...
