To tilt or not to tilt; the decision-making process.

Conclusions: The knowledge generated from this research contributes to the advancement of understanding of how the decision to use tilt is integrated in daily life occupations. The theory can inform clinical practice related to individualizing power tilt use within the context of the person's own reality of daily life. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION The decision to use tilt or not use tilt at any point during the day, is made contingent on the iterative transaction between environmental, functional and personal contexts at that point in time. Feedback from each experience where power tilt was used generates learning and knowledge about the context of power tilt use, informing subsequent occurrences where tilt use may be an option. The substantive theory generated in this study can provide an avenue to explore how and why context influences the decision-making process to foster an in-depth understanding of why tilt is chosen or not chosen to affect problems/issues/situations occurring in day-to-day life.
