Swallowing is influenced by bodily position.
Illness is different from disease since it relies on the first-person perspective of bodily suffering – not only having, but also existing as a body – in contrast to the third-person perspective of investigating this body as a biological organism (Carel, 2016).
Indeed, Carel argues that someone who is ill can be, in her sense, healthy, if they are adapted to their bodily predicament; from her perspective, objections like the one just mentioned miss the point, since they privilege a biological perspective rather than a phenomenological one.
Collingwood's description of actions as having an inside which mere events lack led many of his early commentators to conclude that he believed the distinction between actions and events to be a distinction between inner psychological processes which are inaccessible from a third person perspective and outer bodily movement which are observable form a third person perspective.
When assessing pain, professionals cannot obtain a child's perspective merely by interpreting bodily signs, which may be inadequate reflections of the child's pain experience.
In this perspective, the importance of bodily sensations emphasized by the informants, rather than reflections on possible negative side-effects or interactions with CDTs may indicate that other types of information than traditional evidence-based information, i.e. more individual, experience-based, bodily embedded types of information - are seen as valuable.
Based on the parameter estimates in the AHUM model, the two dimensions that appeared to be most important from the respondents' perspectives were self care and bodily pain.
We adopt an embodied cognition approach that allows us to analyse the pedestrian's task while taking into account both the first-person perspective and the pedestrian's bodily abilities.
Physicians commonly focus on bodily suffering and seem to have a narrower perspective on unbearable suffering than patients and than Dutch case law suggests.
What technology could achieve from such a perspective is rather to influence our illness experiences by way of providing knowledge about how our body works, than to create diseases that give rise to symptoms (from this perspective symptoms that do not originate from bodily dysfunctions are not real illness experiences in the first place) (Topol, 2015).
