- Moment arm
- The perpendicular distance between a force line and a joint axis, affecting the moment produced by that force.
- Eccentric contraction
- An active muscular contraction during lengthening that can control an external load rather than indicating passive relaxation.
- Motor unit
- A motor neuron and the muscle fibers it supplies, considered in recruitment and neuromuscular function.
- Reliability
- The reproducibility of a measurement under specified conditions, which does not alone establish valid interpretation.
- Validity
- The degree to which evidence supports a proposed interpretation and use of an assessment in context.
- Functional baseline
- A documented description of performance, assistance, cues and conditions used as a reference for later review.
- Knowledge of results
- Feedback about the outcome of an attempted task, distinguished from information describing the movement itself.
- Task-specific practice
- Repeated performance linked to a meaningful target task and adjusted to the person’s ability and safety.
- Progressive loading
- A planned adjustment of physical demand according to response, capacity, tissue considerations and functional goals.
- Aphasia
- A language impairment that can affect expression or comprehension and does not itself establish impaired decision-making capacity.
- Dysarthria
- A motor speech disorder affecting production, distinguished from a language disorder or inability to understand.
- Spatial neglect
- An attention-related difficulty responding to part of space that should be distinguished from isolated visual-field loss.

- Environmental fit
- The compatibility between a person’s abilities, a task and surrounding conditions that influences actual occupational performance.
- Graded task
- An activity adjusted in challenge, assistance or complexity so practice remains meaningful and appropriately manageable.
- Activity tolerance
- The person’s observed ability to sustain an activity while considering symptoms, physiological response and required recovery.
- Pressure redistribution
- Changing the distribution or duration of loading through positioning, equipment and individualized support rather than one guaranteed schedule.
- Protective sensation
- Sensation that helps a person recognize potentially damaging stimuli, with loss increasing the risk of unnoticed injury.
- Shared planning
- A process integrating the person’s informed priorities with evidence, clinical judgment, risks and feasible support.
- Clinical handover

- Delegation
- Assignment of a suitable task with appropriate competence, instructions and oversight without automatically transferring all professional accountability.
- Scope of competence
- The activities a practitioner can safely perform based on training, demonstrated ability and applicable professional requirements.
- Outcome review
- A planned comparison of actual performance with goals used to adjust an intervention and its support arrangements.
