Exploring clinical reasoning in physical and occupational therapists treating frail older adults in skilled nursing facilities: a Delphi study
Frailty is highly prevalent in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), yet little is known about how physical and occupational therapists (PTs/OTs) apply clinical reasoning (CR) when designing and progressing EPs for frail older adults. This ...
