本文是来自一个更大的多方法的纵向研究妇女的身体经验和应对措施的发病前的残疾。12名妇女参加了重复的性能测量，深入采访的日常生活和身体挑战性的事件，并进行了18个月的日常活动的意见。对文本数据的解释现象学分析表明，女性的身体提供了临床前残疾的多种指标或症状。这些指标告诉妇女，她们的身体与环境不同步;在社交活动中引人注目;容易依赖他人、技术或辅助设备来完成日常活动。更多地关注身体指标或症状可能为临床医生提供一种实用的方法来识别临床前残疾。
This paper is derived from a larger multimethod longitudinal study of women's bodily experiences and coping practices before the onset of disability. Twelve women participated in repeated performance measures, in-depth interviews of daily life and physically challenging events, and observations of daily activities conducted over 18 months. Interpretive phenomenological analysis of textual data showed that women's bodies provided multiple indicators or symptoms of preclinical disability. These indicators informed the women that their body was out of synch with their environment; conspicuous during social activities; and vulnerable to becoming dependent on others, technology, or assistive devices to accomplish daily activities. Greater attention to bodily indicators or symptoms may offer a practical method for clinicians to identify preclinical disability.
