Comparing prescribed therapy dose with completed active practice.
Your proposed criterion identifies a start to active practice. Suppose the participant initiates that seated reach, then pauses while the therapist continues supporting the arm's weight: would you stop the active-practice timer during the pause?
No specific task was named in my question. Suppose we're timing seated reaching while a therapist supports the arm's weight. The unresolved issue is what observable participant contribution would qualify that interval as active practice.
What observable sign would distinguish participant effort from therapist-produced movement when deciding which assisted intervals belong in the uncertain category?
For tasks performed with therapist assistance, would you count the whole task interval as active practice, or only the time with observable participant effort?
When comparing prescribed rehabilitation dose with completed practice, how is active practice time measured within a scheduled session?
Recovery timing alone will not resolve the comparison if received exercise dose differed. Were completed repetitions, external load, work performed, and within-session rest recorded for each phenotype group?
