https://ajot.aota.org/article.aspx?articleid=1877118 I choose to read this article because I was interested in the viewpoints between medicine and OT when it comes to clinical reasoning. The article mentions how medicine is very sequential with their reasoning in that it is step-by-step where as OT's clinical reasoning is more continuous in that we are constantly evaluating what we are doing to determine if progress is being made. It also mentions how OT uses a variety of reasoning methods instead of just a singular method. OT may start with hypothetical reasoning to address medical issues but then switch to a propositionnal style to address psychological, social. or interpersonal aspects.
