RESULTS the theoretical framework best known by the subjects of the study is the model of human occupation with 57,4% and this same theoretical framework is the one from which they gain the most important contribution with a further 38,9%. On the other hand, the rehabilitation referral or compensator framework is the most employed (29,9%).
