Purpose: There is limited evidence of lived experience of persons with neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunction related to the activity and participation dimensions of the ICF model .This paper will investigate the gap between the phenomenon of lived experience and participation of exercise/physical activity in rehabilitation context.
Methods: The data was collected using semi-structured interview and close observation of a person with neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunction undergoing rehabilitation therapy for one month. The data was analyzed by using phenomenological strategies of in-depth reading and interpretation to identify themes in data.
Results: The results showed that meaningfulness, self identity/self esteem, sense of enjoyment and family participation are common themes.
Conclusion(s): Personal socialization and social interaction also contributed to the lived phenomenon of the person with neuro-musculoskeletal dysfunction in a rehabilitation context.
Implications: The study provide a holistic approach in managing patient with neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction through pedagogical lenses.
