The clinical reasoning in neurological physiotherapy: an exploratory qualitative study on the (dis)similarities between Bobath and non-Bobath therapists
This study highlights that CR is shaped by clinical, interpersonal, and contextual factors. Bobath-educated therapists demonstrated a movement-centered approach to their reasoning, while NBG's CR revolves around task-independence and exercise-oriented strategies. Further research is needed to explore these aspects of CR.
