Movement
More than whether you can.
WIDE looks at what movement makes available to a person, what changes that availability, and what remains afterwards.
Meaning comes first.
Getting up. Reaching. Turning. Walking somewhere that matters. WIDE begins with the activity rather than assuming that one body part or one ideal movement is the whole story.
Completion is useful evidence. So is what it cost, what changed, and what was still possible next.
Possibility changes.
Pain, fatigue, support, confidence, previous movement, context and demand can all change what feels available. WIDE is interested in those changes without reducing them to a generic good/bad movement score.
What remains afterwards.
For some people, the important effect of an activity appears later. The rest of the day may narrow. Recovery may take time. A movement that was possible once may not remain equally available. WIDE keeps that wider context in view.
Through time
What is becoming more or less available?
Repeated observations can describe a trajectory of possibility: whether movement options appear to expand, narrow, become more robust, become more fragile, recover after demand or remain context-dependent. WIDE is researching what such trajectories may be able to tell us.

WIDE stays with the person, the activity and what becomes possible.
